According to USA Today, “Speed Racer” is worthy of only 1.5 stars. And that low rating is not even attributed to Rain’s acting - it’s the entire movie. We anticipated failure, but who knew that it was going to be this bad.

Interestingly, despite the harsh reviews in the US, ticket sales for Speed Racer is almighty high in Korea, beating the blockbuster “Iron Man” in the box office. Again, Koreans are not ashamed to support bad movies if it boosts national pride somehow.

After reading the review, I’m skeptical about Rain’s Hollywood film debut, but I guess I owe it to Magic Fit Feet to shell out $10 this weekend for a review.

Watch out for POPSEOUL!’s review of Speed Racer.

Kwon Sang-woo is back in the news with his lawsuit that began in October 2007. The 32 year old sexy actor is suing management company, Best Flow (previously Yuri International) for 1.9 billion won (approximately 1.8 million USD) of missing wages during a 2 year period (2003 - 2005). Soon after in November, Best Flow countered with a lawsuit against the 32 year old actor for defamation.

Will Kwon Sang-woo get his wages back? We’ll have to wait and see.
