Mười: The Legend of a Portrait

I didn't even know this movie existed until I read about it in an article about the "5 Scariest Korean Horror Movies", where this was listed as #6. I don't like Korean horror movies since I didn't think "A Tale of Two Sisters" was all that great or scary and Mười was not an exception. I only watched this because it was a Korean and Vietnamese production but the only thing Vietnamese about it was the legend (I don't think this is even a real Vietnamese legend) and the scenery.

Đẹp Từng Centimét

Đẹp Từng Centimét can be translated as "Beautiful Every Centimeter". I watched this because everybody seems to like
Lương Mạnh Hải and Tăng Thanh Hà as a couple; however, this movie was boring and cliché. DTC claims to be a romantic comedy but I didn't feel the love between the characters nor did I laugh. DTC feels like it was made for the sole purpose to fulfill the wishes of the fans of the Vietnamese drama "Bỗng Dưng Muốn Khóc".

Tăng Thanh Hà: She's pretty but her character was too naive to the point of stupidity. 3***

Lương Mạnh Hải: He's not drop-dead gorgeous but his looks grow on you. The best part about this movie is when he dresses up as a woman to deceive Tăng Thanh Hà's character; Lương Mạnh Hải is pretty convincing as a woman. 4****

Tăng Thanh Hà+Lương Mạnh Hải: They have the chemistry but I didn't feel anything for them in here. 3***

Rating: 2** I hope "Bỗng Dưng Muốn Khóc" is a lot better than this.

Nụ Hôn Thần Chết

This Vietnamese romantic comedy movie can be translated as "The Devil's Kiss" or "The Kiss of the Devil". NHTC is funny with the right touch of romance. I was actually surprised at how good this movie was since it didn't dragged and actually had a plot! The plot reminded me a lot of Adam Sandler's "Little Nicky" in the beginning but both movies are completely different from each other.

Johnny Trí Nguyễn: The only other movie I watched of his was "The Rebel" a.k.a "Dòng Máu Anh Hùng" and I think he's a cute and versatile actor. His Vietnamese wasn't very good in "The Rebel" but his Vietnamese improved heaps in here since I didn't need to read the English subtitles when he spoke in here. 5*****

Thanh Hằng: She's a cute and good actress. I think she's a relatively new actress since I couldn't find that much information about her. She was convincing as the "bad" girl and the "good" girl in here. 5*****

Hoài Linh: He's great in whatever he does. I love his character in here, especially his "evil" laugh. 5*****

Johnny+Thanh Hằng: Their love story was funny, sweet, cute, and moving. I like how their love was compared to "Romeo and Juliet's". 5*****

Themesong by Xuân Phú and Mai Khôi: This was very fitting for the "Romeo and Juliet" theme. 5*****
