Definitely one of the dumbest films I have seen this year
Please note - Spoilers in review below.
This film just left me shaking my head in disbelief. A young Korean man named Kengo,(Jason Lew), who lives with his mentally disturbed, religious nutjob mother, Evelyn (Joan Chen)spends most of his time sleeping or having sex with his non-Asian girlfriend, Sandra (Sonja Kinski). Sex seems to be on his mind most of the time. In addition to making out with his girlfriend constantly, he takes photos of her, which he develops in a dark room, and then masturbates to them. He is doing the latter one morning when he is supposed to be going to work. Actually, he was supposed to be at work over an hour ago. He gets in no hurry to get to his job, finally arriving an hour and 45 minutes late. His boss, Mr. Glen Soon(Tzi Ma), owner of the print shop where Kengo works, doesn't really chew him out about this. Once at work, Kengo spends his time ogling photos his girlfriend sends him via her phone, followed by taking a personal phone call from her. He then makes up a lame excuse about someone having a problem with their sink, I assume at his apt. building, and grabs up his tool box and leaves work. Of course, he isn't really going to fix anyone's plumbing, instead he meets up with his girlfriend for another sex session. I think it is during this session, that we learn that he thinks he's the son of God. His girlfriend, Sandra, is getting tired of this ploy. She had hoped to: "marry him and have a baby boy who would have a sex organ as large as Kengo's." I couldn't believe this silliness when it fell out of her mouth! We also have some flashbacks from when he was boy with his mentally disturbed mother telling him this nonsense. When we later learn about her past history,we see that she has been mentally disturbed since at least her teens, during which time she was very promiscuous and had several abortions. In one flashback scene, his mother Evelyn seemed to be in bed with him, during which time an earthquake occurred. I was never sure whether there was some kind of incestuous relationship between them or not. Eventually, Evelyn tells Kengo about her past and he concludes from what she has told him, that his real father is a doctor with a mangled ear. The time frame is not clear, so I don't know if this all happened in the same day or not, but at some point, Kengo sees a Caucausian man and follows him. He follows him onto the subway, and then I think next was a bus that lets this man off in the middle of nowhere. The man, apparently was supposed to have an odd ear. I saw both of his ears and I didn't see anything unusual about either one. What is unintentionally hilarious about this is that this man never seems to notice Kengo following him. Even when the man gets off the bus out in the middle of nowhere, and no one else is around and Kengo is still trailing him, he seems oblivious to that fact. The man goes into a dark tunnel. Now that was the longest tunnel I think I've ever seen, and why would there even be a tunnel there anyway? Kengo finally ends up at what I guess was a junkyard filled with cars. I suppose it was evening by then, since there were some streetlight type lights over the cars. For no reason, Kengo picks up a rock and throws it and breaks out one of the lights. He then throws another rock at the other light but never hits it. This is followed by him going into some kind of weird little stomping type of dance. Why? I have no idea. He then returns to find the printing shop locked up. What amazed me the most was that he did no work the entire day. He started copying some document, before he left that morning, but I don't know if he ever even finished doing that. He goes to Mr. Soon's apt. Mr. Soon confided earlier to Kengo, during one of his brief periods at work, that he is ill, but when asked how he is now, he says he's fine. Evelyn is at Mr. Soon's apt., they know each other, are friends and apparently members of that nutty church to which she belongs, and Kengo's girlfriend, Sandra, is there. That's it folks. End of film. It meant nothing and it came to nothing. Nor was it presented as being surreal or symbolic. It simply had very little plot and no real conclusion. 2 stars.

ALL GOD'S CHILDREN CAN DANCE.
Author/s: Haruki MurakamiYoshiya woke with the worst possible hangover. He could barelymanage to open one eye; the left lid wouldn't budge. His head feltas if it had been stuffed with decaying teeth during the night. A foulsludge was oozing from his rotting gums and eating away at hisbrain from the inside. If he ignored it, he wouldn't have a brain left.Which would be all right. Just a little more sleep: that's all hewanted. But he knew it was out of the question. He felt too awful tosleep.He glanced up at the clock by his pillow, but it had vanished. Whywasn't the clock where it belonged? No glasses either. He must havetossed them somewhere. It had happened before.He managed to raise the upper half of his body, but this jumbled hismind, and his face plunged back into the pillow. A truck camethrough the neighborhood selling clothes-drying poles. They'd takeyour old ones and exchange them for new ones, said theloudspeaker, and the price was the same as twenty years ago. Themonotonous, stretched-out voice belonged to a middle-aged man. Itmade him feel seasick, but he couldn't barf.The best cure for a bad hangover was to watch a morning talk show,according to one friend. The shrill witch-hunter voices of the showbizcorrespo.
