   The helmet, the armor, the blades & the code... Everything about the samurai is intriguing. Artists especially, amateur & pro have their imaginations ignited by this ancient Japanese warrior.

   I've assembled 40 of my favorite bushi from 40 brilliant artists creating traditional & historically accurate samurai, pop remixed ronin, sci-fi shizoku, sexy onna-bugeisha & abstract yakuza.

FILM: Pirates - 해적: 바다로 간 산적

New Korean movies I want to see in 2014:

Pirates (해적: 바다로 간 산적)

Why I want to see it: It looks like they tried to recreate the silly swashbuckling energy of the Pirates of the Caribbean series. The plot will be completely irrelevant, so everything hinges on the quality of the comedy & action sequences. If they pulled it off, it will be a fun forgettable summer flick.
