Genre: comedy

Johansson (Molly), Sofía Vergara (Inez), Robert Downey Jr. (Marvin), Dustin
Hoffman (Riva)
Plot: Carl Casper is a chef of first-class
restaurant. He was criticized by a certain critic after having been lost right
to decide menu by the owner of the restaurant. Carl eventually quit the
restaurant after the big fight online with the critic. Therefore, he challenged
to run a food truck with his friend and son. On someday, the same critic visits
his food truck!
My review: This is the movie we can
enjoy cozily and makes us feel heartwarming and fresh due to fabulous food
based on warm atmosphere and comfortable story that has humanism. Especially, a
lot of delicious-looking foods such as pasta and cheese panini of food truck
were very lovely! Also, it was impressive that Carl (the main character chef)
always had eager for pursuing his dream to cook creatively and freely and
consequently put his dream into practice regardless of background episode.
2. The True-taste Show
Genre: documentary
Director: Kim,Jaehwan
Main actor : Park,Narim (narration)
Plot: It is a black comedy movies about
media and producers’ manipulation and greed. That is, a fake restaurant ‘taste’
was operated in reality and starred in the real television ‘tasty restaurant’
program to satire and show the immoral behavior in producing ‘tasty restaurant’
program, which is very influential and popular TV program in Korea.
My review: This movie actually caused a
huge sensation in Korean society! Program that introduces ‘tasty restaurant’
has been popular traditionally in Korea. Of course audiences including me already
know it will be somewhat exaggerated and we don’t believe in that program
perfectly. Nevertheless, this movie was totally shocking and I felt betrayed
due to weird attitude and mind of tv program producers and broker who have zero
percent of work ethic. They are just inclined desperately into money and consider
the program as transaction simply. I think the movie accuses these irrational
tendency very well through a made-up restaurant ‘taste’. Also, an extremely sarcastic
scenes and narration captured our concentration. I want you to recommend to
watch this move if you want to know about the truth in media.
Genre : drama
Director : Joji Matsuoka
Main actor : Kobayashi Kaoru (master)
Plot : This is a story of our lives,
sharing feelings through food between mysterious master and customers who have
reasons. There is a little, quiet snack bar restaurant located in backstreets
in Tokyo and it opens at midnight. The master cooks everything customers want
to their customers as possible.
My review : It feels warm after watching
it and you can feel the delicate hues of food image, which is unique point of
Japanese movies. I recommend this movie to whom want pleasant calm. I sometimes
want to be a customer of that snack bar restaurant that I can talk my story comfortably
and calmly, eating my soul food. The rolled omelet and the sausage in the movie
are unforgettable.
