Shinobi

Shinobi (2005)

Story

Shinobi centers on the drama resulting from the war between two ninja clans in the early part of the Tokugawa era. In the film, Nakama Yukie portrays Oboro, the granddaughter of Ogen (Lily), the respected Iga clan matriarch, while Odagiri Jo plays Gennosuke, the son of Danjo Koga (Minoru Terada), the powerful Koga clan leader. While living deep within the mountains, the two ninja clans have honed their skills to superhuman levels. Unfortunately, the clans do not get along and are forbidden by imperial decree from sharing their techniques with each other. Viewing the two ninja clans as a threat to his scheme for total domination, the nefarious Nankobo Tenkai (Ishibashi Renji) plots to intensify the rivalry between the two clans. Nakobo creates a contest in which the clans are forced to choose five of their best warriors to participate. The battle, however, isn’t just a friendly contest - it’s a duel to the death!

Sad Movie (2005) - 새드무비 (Sae-deu Moo-bi)

Story

Rather than focus on one driving plotline, the film is a collection of four stories that all intersect at some point, although they remain basically unrelated. First off, there’s Jin-Woo (Jung Woo-Sung of A Moment to Remember), a handsome, noble, but lunkheaded firefighter dating a sign language interpreter named Su-Jung (Im Su-Jung of A Tale of Two Sisters). It looks like the two are ready to take the next big step in their relationship, but Jin-Woo’s unwillingness to give up his dangerous profession and his occasional obliviousness to Su-Jung’s needs keeps derailing any plans for wedding bells between the two.

Malaysia

Quick Facts

Country, Southeast Asia. It is composed of two regions-Peninsular, or West, Malaysia and East Malaysia-separated by 400 mi (650 km) of the South China Sea. West Malaysia occupies the southern half of the Malay Peninsula (Malaya) and is bordered to the north by Thailand. East Malaysia lies on the northwestern part of the island of Borneo and consists of the states of Sarawak and Sabah. Area: 127,355 sq mi (329,847 sq km). Population (2005 est.): 26,130,000. Capitals: Kuala Lumpur/Putrajaya. Because of Malaysia’s location on the heavily traveled Strait of Malacca, the population is a highly diverse mix, in which ethnic Malays and Chinese form the largest groups and smaller ethnic groups include Indians, Pakistanis, and Tamils. Languages: Malay (official), Chinese, Indo-European languages. Religions: Islam (official), Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism. Currency: ringgit. West Malaysia is largely mountainous; East Malaysia has coastal plains rising to hills and then to a mountainous core. Much of Malaysia is covered by rainforest. Tree crops, notably rubber and palm oil, are the most important cash crops; rice is the chief staple crop. Petroleum drilling and production and tin mining are important, as is the manufacture of electronic products, rubber goods, cement, and iron and steel products. Malaysia is a constitutional monarchy with two legislative houses; the chief of state is the paramount ruler, and the head of government is the prime minister. Malaya has been inhabited for 6,000–8,000 years. Small kingdoms existed in the 2nd–3rd century AD when adventurers from India first arrived. Sumatran exiles founded the city-state of Malacca c. 1400, and it flourished as a trading and Islamic religious centre until its capture by the Portuguese in 1511. Malacca passed to the Dutch in 1641. The British founded a settlement on Singapore Island in 1819, and by 1867 they had established the Straits Settlements, including Malacca, Singapore, and Penang.
