On Taking Risks

I raved about Korea's fast internet service in my last post because I really wanted to see the movie that beat Avatar in the run for Oscar’s Best Picture and the director who beat James Cameron. I went ahead and took a copy using Torrent. I know, I am normally not in the loop, so I got to watch the movie only now. Haha.

Anyway, as to the winners of the 2010 Oscar’s, it’s the “Hurt Locker” for best movie and ex-wife of James Cameron, Kathryn Bigelow for best director. Wow, that’s straight-in-your-face International Women’s Day that the world is celebrating on this date. Bigelow is said to be the first woman ever to win the “Best Director” title in the Oscar’s. Neat!

On Korea's Conveniences

Every time anyone asks me how I find South Korea, I would always say that living here is the conveniently rushed kind. And almost next to that, so as to emphasize more on the convenience (and avoid the pitfalls of the “rushed”), I would tell them how the country's efficient subway system has helped me a great deal with my existence here. Anyone should see me how I tell it to people, because almost always after I say that, they would ask me back if there actually exists a railway system in my own country. I sound that amazed (or rather foolishly primeval eh? Bwahaha). I think I have written a post about Korea's subway system before.

The Abs of a Ninja Assassin

I can’t emphasize this enough. It’s just Rain and the abs. Nothing about the plot and other whatsoever’s. Wahahaha. Ok, so I am being such a 'perv' again.

I caught on the movie Ninja Assassin, showcasing the slim and towering figure of Rain (Bi)— probably one of the few Korean stars that anyone who has the slightest interest in the KPop entertainment industry would at least know. Rain personally became famous to me because of the hit Korean drama that was previously shown in the Philippines, Full House. While I don’t think that he (and almost all Korean actors) is good-looking, Rain takes my breath away when he dances. And the “breaded” bod? Come on, *drools*.

Seminar on Korean Cinema's History

I attended a free seminar sponsored by the Korea Foundation Cultural Center, which is the sixth of the seven-lecture series intended for foreigners in Korea. It is designed to provide deeper insights into Korean culture and history. I personally learned about the seminar from a website that I would occasionally visit, whenever I look for something new to do here. The Korea4Expats site has been so informational for me, even giving me updates on possible personal ventures here.

2009 Movies To Watch Out

Since I’m becoming so frustrated with the fact that I have not watched any movies since Iron Man was shown in the Philippines, I’m looking forward to what 2009 has in store for the movie theatre freaks around the world. Here is a list that I picked from Times Online’s 50 Most Promising Movies of 2009. Well, most of the movies that took my interest are sequels and book adaptations. If this list can actually work on getting myself a movie seat here, that I still don't know.
