200 Pounds Beauty' Charms Overseas Film Fans


Korean made movie ``200 Pounds Beauty’’ is taking audiences by storm abroad _ smashing box office records across Singapore and Hong Kong and signaling actress Kim A-jung’s rise as a hot new hallyu star.

Three weeks after its opening last month in Singapore, ``Beauty’’ had already grossed a whopping $550,000 in that country alone according to a release by local distributors InnoForm Media and Shaw Organization.

The film opened on April 19 and now exceeds figures of previous Korean record-holder ``Wishing Stairs’’ (2003) and last year’s hit ``The Host,’’ which drew $550,000. The film’s producer KM Pictures refused to release exact numbers.

``We bought the film at the AFM (American Film Market) last year and were surprised when our distribution partner Shaw suggested that we take it as wide as 18 prints,’’ InnoForm general manager Lim Teck was quoted as telling ``Variety.’’

``We enjoyed a clear run without much competition in the two weeks before `Spider-Man 3,’ and it has proved a really smart piece of counterprogramming,’’ said Lim.

``Like all Korean films, it has very good production values, but this is a romantic comedy that has good songs and a theme of beauty and dieting that works well with female audiences,’’ he said.

The romantic comedy features Kim A-jung as a gifted yet obese singer who, after going under the knife, transforms into a slim beauty. Only then can she pursue her musical career and the love of her life.

The allure of ``Beauty’’ does not stop in Singapore. After opening on May 17 across 21 screens in Hong Kong, the sassy film came in second at the box office __ tailing just behind ``Spider-Man 3.’’

``Beauty’’ scored $190,000 in under four days. With the recent release of ``Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End,’’ the film maintains a strong ranking in third place.

``Kim A-jung is the reason to watch this film,’’ wrote a movie critic in ``BC Magazine,’’ a Hong Kong and Singapore-based magazine. ``Not only does she look great, but does all of the singing on her own and displays a nice instinct for comedy.’’

The local Chinese media have also noted Kim as eclipsing the fame of Jun Ji-hyun, the heroine of ``My Sassy Girl’’ (2001). The romantic comedy enjoyed enormous popularity in Hong Kong when released several years ago.

``Beauty’’ was a huge hit in Korea when released last December. Attracting 6.62 million viewers, the movie ranks eighth in the all-time Korean box office and first in the admissions record of comedy films.

The upcoming 2007 Daejong (Grand Bell) Film Festival officially announced ``Beauty’’ as the most nominated film. It is set to compete in 12 of the festival’s 19 categories, including Best Film, Best Director and Best Actress.

This exceeds the 11 nominations for ``The Host’’ at last year’s festival.

Meanwhile, Kim is in Vietnam to promote Korean film and will participate in the 2007 Dynamic Korea Film Festival, to take place May 31-June 3 in Hanoi. ``Beauty’’ will be screened along with five other works including Park Chan-wook’s award-winning ``Old Boy.’’

This might be a bit off-topic but I believe there are a lot of smokers here on www.blogger.com. I decided to find a good vendor of e-cigarettes. I'm done with paying so much for normal cigarettes.A friend recommended [url=http://www.insanereleases.info/greensmokef.html]G Smoke[/url] According to their website this is how they described their product:
"Green Smoke offers quality Electronic cigarettes with disposable cartridges that compose of the highest smoke volume in the industry. With a collection of flavors and nicotine levels, Green Smoke's™ patented technology offers convenience and exhibit performance that is unmatched. G Smoke products have been independently tested for safety."
I'm thinking of buying them. Anyone else have experience with this e-cigarette?

Add to that the question of whether or not these free chips are being offered by honest online casinos, and we enter an area worth some study or serious research.



3. He analyzed the casino bonuses one by one and maximized his starting position. Almost all of the casinos offer an initial deposit bonus. Some even offer a second and third deposit bonus. On all of these promotions there are limits as to how much they allow as a bonus. In this case study the client played on all three deposit bonuses. First Deposit: 100% up to $150. Needless to say his first casino deposit was $150 (via Neteller) Second Deposit: 50% up to $150. His second deposit was $300 (via Neteller) giving him a bonus of $150. Again, he maximized his bonus allotment. Third Deposit: 75% up to $75. He deposited $100 (via Neteller) for a $75 bonus. In addition to the deposit bounses there was a Neteller deposit bouns.

After all, you're after entertainment value and a chance to earn some dollars. There are certain things you can control when it comes to casino slots and virtual card games. Here are a few suggestions:


First, never choose a casino on the sole basis of his ranking in the search engine results. They are not necessarily good rankings on how a casino. You must go through several online casino sites to compare the benefits in detail and then make a decision. For example, should offer a bonus and, if so, how much. Are there any special promotions available?



4. Online casinos regularly offer big bonuses that can take the form of: (i) signing-up bonus that gets you started off; (ii) bonuses that can be cashed; (iii) bonuses that cannot be cashed, and (iv) cash back bonus, which is paid if the player loses. No traditional offline casino offers so many bonuses!

However, the banking Internet sector has exploded in the past five years.

With the popularity of the Internet and the power it gives people to take control of their lives, many traditional banks have created banking Internet web pages where customers could transfer money, set up bill payments recurring or otherwise, quickly check items that have cleared, and many other functions that can be accessed 24 hours per day 7 days a week.

Banking Internet options also include virtual banks.

When you utilize banking Internet options you are able to access your account, move money, pay bills, and any number of things from any computer with Internet access worldwide.
[url=http://pcinternetbanking.com]Online Banking Features[/url]
Historically banks were institutions that held your money under lock and key.

Traditional banks have monitored the popularity and growth of the internet, and realising customers wanted greater control of their affairs, have created their own internet banking web sites.

These banks, and all other internet banking continue to grow in popularity because they are convenient, saving customers time and money.

Paying bills, transferring funds and just plain monitoring your account are all possible with minimal stress whether you are ravelling, holidaying or working anywhere in the world.
