Friend
$29.95
The story is simple; it's about four friends growing up in Pusan in the seventies. The real story comes from their weird mixture of personalities that fit but you don't expect to last after school. Jung-sook is the son of a mob boss and is the boss of his school and is said to be the best fighter in the school. His second boss Dong-su is suffering from being a follower and doesn't realize this until around the middle of the movie. Sang-taek is basically the genius nerd but Jung-sook likes him and protects him. Woon-taek is the class clown though he doesn't stand out that much. Every character has their own personality but only two really stand out and matter.

The film starts with the four but mainly focuses on Dong-su and Jung-sook for the remainder of the film. The two end up becoming part of rival gangs and must settle their problems, which will last and stay friends to the end? I have no idea where to start with friend because after a while its flaws come from what you want to happen and not what happens. One major thing is if Jung-sook's father is so feared then why doesn't he at least look it even a little. There is very little film shown on the family's relationship with the mob while Jung-sook was young. I also agree with some other reviewers that some things were unbelievable. The movie uses the frail relationship of Jung-sook and Sang-taek to keep the theme of friend going. All this movie needed was to keep the light on Jung-sook and Dong-su from beginning to end. The real friendship of the film was between Jung-sook and Dong-su.

Maybe the director didn't want this to truly be a gangster film but more of a drama but he should've gone gangster film all the way. If he did it completely in that style the film would've been way better. What's positive about "Friend" depends on what you like. I must agree that there were certain parts that I really enjoyed but mainly the end of the film. Some characters in the film that it could have benefited from went unfinished. Like Joong-ho who's character really needed more time in this movie didn't get it. The acting was pretty good which definitely kicks the films viewing worth up a notch. The music is awful and the picture quality is ok and could have been better but it works. This movie is more like 3.5 stars but If you've glanced at it in your video store every time you go in like me don't get it unless you've seen most of the other films available.

Friends: The Complete Seventh Season
$29.98
I believe that this is the season where the writers began to run out of ideas, because some of the episodes were somewhat dull. I did not care for "The One With The Nap Partners" or "The One With The Engagement Picture", although they did have some funny moments. The idea of Ross and Joey liking to take naps together is more sick than it is funny. The season did have some good episodes, such as the one where Joey discovers Rachel's book and when Monica meets Chandler's dad. Of course, the wedding episode was one of the best. This is still a good season, so I would recommend it, but I definitely would not start out with this season
