Movie Review: Eighteen (2010)


Adolescence is a time when life feels like a rocking horse. So many things in and around you seem to change. Your body and your hormones start doing weird things to your head. The people around you expects more from you now that you're more than just a child. More than that, there seems to be a new feeling that starts to form during this time of life. Love. That feeling you get when you can't help but be attracted to the opposite sex, the people you thought were your enemies. Suddenly they become interesting, they seem beautiful in your eyes, you just want to be with them. But true to many things, this feeling of love isn't completely yours. The parents that might not agree with all this, the friends that don't even help. This helpless feelings of love and life in adolescence is discussed in Eighteen.

Movie Review: Bleak Night (2011)


Finding yourself is one of the biggest things you’ll have to face during adolescence. What you’ll do as an adult. Who you’ll point to as your friends. Simple questions, yet difficult to answer. Bleak Night (파수꾼) tries to answer those questions, with a realistic point of view from the adolescents themselves.

First Take: John Park is Falling


Even though I'm prepping (or really trying to!) the blogathon next week, it won't hurt if I do a first take this week, right? Actually, there's a few songs that I want to first take, because apparently a lot of really nice songs came out recently. But today, I want to first take a song that I've been obsessing for days now, since its release. It's John Park's 'Falling'!

Movie Reviews Motivation


At one point of making this blog, my idea was that I would review a bunch of things. In my heart of hearts, I want to review a billion movies. But the sad reality is, I just wasn't able to do that. Either I didn't have time or I didn't have to motivation, one thing just lead to another. In fact, out of my 70-ish posts, only three of them are actually movie reviews. How sad.
