Sunday’s SAG Awards ceremony will be a streaming event for the first time on the Netflix YouTube channel. One of the highlights each year is the special In Memoriam segment. It’s been a particularly rough year with over 100 deaths of prominent actors and actresses who were likely members of SAG/AFTRA. Show producers typically are able to include approximately 40-50 people in a tribute.
Among that group will certainly be Oscar winners Louise Fletcher, William Hurt and Irene Cara, plus nominees Angela Lansbury (a SAG life achievement recipient) and Melinda Dillon. Emmy champs Mary Alice, Kirstie Alley, Leslie Jordan, Ray Liotta, Stuart Margolin, Robert Morse and Barbara Walters.

Jung_E is a new sci-fi movie written and directed by Yeon Sang-ho starring Kim Hyun-joo, Kang Soo-youn and Ryu Kyung-Soo. It will be available on Netflix from January 2023.
This is a movie by the new sensation in South Korean filmaking, Yeon Sang-hol, director of Train to Busan and the great Hellbound (there will be a second season of this one). This time, we head for science-fiction with a plot that is like Terminator (directly) or Ex-Machina.
The script has plots that have been more or less “borrowed” from others with the structure of an action film with very good rhythm and effects that are… contradictory. Very good some times in rhythm, sound and above all, editing but sometimes the robots (very much inspired by Terminator) seem to be lacking technology.
However, if you want a futuristic, apocalyptic action film with a good script treatment, Jung-e is a good option...

The star-studded red carpet included Hong Kong star Tony Leung, winner of the Asian Filmmaker of the Year award.
The 27th Busan International Film Festival (Biff) opened with a star-studded red carpet that included Hong Kong star Tony Leung, who accepted the Asian Filmmaker of the Year award last night (October 5).
At the outdoor theatre of the Busan Cinema Center, organizers and filmmakers expressed relief at being back to a fully-fledged in-person event for the first time since the pandemic started - as well as some trepidation about whether audiences would come back to cinemas in similar numbers.

“Avatar” producer Jon Landau, Charles Rivkin, chairman of the Motion Picture Association, and the MPA’s Asia regional chief Belinda Lui, were on hand Wednesday in South Korea to tread the red carpet at the Busan International Film Festival.
It has been a struggle for Asian film festivals and rights markets to return to normal as conservative governments and reticent populations warily and belatedly embraced reduced quarantine periods, the end of mandatory mask-wearing and social distancing. But Wednesday night’s hosts were at pains to stress that this year’s 27th Biff is operating at full capacity.
“I can’t tell you how emotional I am tonight,” said Lee Yong-kwan co-founder of the festival and now its chairman.
The Busan festival is Asia’s biggest and most significant talent and film discovery event. But in 2020 it was downsized and held virtually. Last year’s event operated largely behind a cordon...

Kang Soo-youn, a Korean actor who was a star of 1980s and 1990s film and TV, died on Saturday. She was 55.
She was admitted to hospital in Seoul on Thursday after reportedly suffering a heart attack and being found unconscious. She died in hospital after a cerebral hemorrhage.
Kang was a child star from the 1970s and appeared in multiple films and TV shows in the pre-modern era.
After such a busy start, Kang was ready for a new direction in her career by her twenties. She received it, age 21, when she earned the best actress prize at the 1987 Venice Film Festival for her role in Im Kwon-taek’s “The Surrogate Womb.” Two years later, she won the best actress award in Moscow for another Im title “Come, Come, Come Upward.”
