Oh no I found out about this way too late! I live about 2 hours away from LA, and I didn’t even know…Sigh. Looks like I’ll just have to catch this another time or on the PC. Bong Joon-ho is a very impressive man, and I intend to check out his works real soon.

Watched Mother last night at the LACMA with my 17 year old daughter. Afterward, the Q & A session with Bong Joon-ho was insightful and interesting. There was nearly a full-house with a mixed crowd of Asians and non-Asians. Absolutely loved the film and will ponder its multi-level themes. Boon commented on some, but would have loved to have dinner with him and talked more about Korean society and its non-supportive role specifically to women with special-needs children.

Bong sure is getting a lot of international attention. There was also a retrospective of his films a few months ago in London at the British Film Institute.

Memories of Murder is one of the best kmovies I’ve seen. Talking about it makes me want to see it again.

Memories of Murder is a great suspense movie. I watched it several years ago and still vividly remember how good it was. Kim Sang Kyung had so much charisma in the movie – he stole the spotlight from Song Kang Ho easily. After watching him there, I immediately searched for his other movies and dramas but neither could match with the intense he displayed in Memories of Murder.

AHHH TIMING=FAIL.

I’m leaving town tomorrow!! ……….this is like some kind of sick karma.

I guess the least I can do is get my friends to go for me. They won’t understand Korean though…does anyone know if subtitles will be available?

Memories of Murder is SUCH a good movie. It left me silent and brooding — and I am already the silent and brooding type. It is way more of a horror movie than all of these movies of long-haired, pale school girls roaming around hallways and elevators and bathrooms — there is always a bathroom to haunt — killing people to avenge their rape or abandonment.

Host: meh. I did not care for the ending. Seriously, what the hell kind of ending is that anyway?

I hope to check out Mother soon.
