The local Korean cinemas will kick off the new year with empowered female warriors getting into some silly situations in the period action comedy The Huntresses.  Rounding out these trio bounty hunters is Ha Ji-won (As One), Kang Ye-won (Quick) and Son Ga-in, as well as Joo Sang-wook and Ko Chang-seok in supporting roles.  If your looking for an alternative to the typical boys-only club in your action, then this certainly fits the bill.As a child, Jin-ok witnessed the murder of her father and narrowly escaped death.

ATTACK ON TITAN Will Probably Be the Cause of World War III

Posted: 30 Dec 2013 11:00 AM PST
