Well if was a very interesting weekend here in Korea. The real surprise was the improvement of the #1 film "Le Grand Chef" over last weeks totals. I had mixed reaction to the film. To me it was a huge bore, but my cooking students loved the film. The #2 film is what caught my attention. I knew that it was given a NC-17 in America, so I really had no idea what to expect. Lets just say, I loved the film and highly recommend it when it comes to your home country.
