'A Dirty Carnival' Movie Review
I’ve been recently on a movie marathon, and particularly I’ve been watching and catching up on old “classics”, that I’ve always heard about, but never took the time to watch. So far this week I’ve watched TaeGukGi, 추격자 (The Chaser), and most recently (yesterday night in fact), 비열한 거리 (literally “Mean Streets” but also known as “A Dirty...

깃 (Feather)
This movie reaffirmed my love for independent films. It’s amazing how such a low budget film can look so good (it was shot with a simple digital camera). This is one of those films that remind me so much of 빈집 (or 3-Iron, which is the English title of the film). Plot-wise, very little happens. Yet each scene, each piece of dialogue is so rich with meaning that nothing feels out of place....

The Paradox of Choice
Life discussions with friends and family are quite abundant in this season of life. These discussions usually arise from stress. These stresses stem from topics such as “not knowing what to do in the future in terms of school and career” to “will I find that perfect person for me”. But when you really boil down to it, these stresses are being caused by our “freedom...

Into Deep Waters
There’s always such a negative view on “deep waters” - vast, unknown and dangerous. It is something we naturally want to avoid. But I came across a piece that took a completely different approach to deep waters:
“I have come into deep waters” took on new meaning this morning. It started with perplexing matters concerning the future. Then it dawned that shallow waters were a...

Vocation [Part 1]
The past 6 months have been a major time of reflection for me. At first I felt like the only grad who didn’t have direction in what they wanted to do with life/future. To be fair, I don’t think I fully know yet — but I’ve learned so much in this time, that it would be good to blog about my findings. Maybe it might help another person who is going through similar issues.

Wisdom From The Ant
It feels like I haven’t posted any written blog post in a while, mainly because I didn’t have anything to share/anything major to flesh out in words. Some of you know this, but my New Year’s “resolution” or “theme” for this year, is developing a heart of patience. I’ve been so used to have things happening one after another, with little time to...

Hiding behind a screen
reblogged from estcho:
I was shooting a scene in my new film, No Strings Attached, in which I say to Natalie Portman,
“If you miss me. you can’t text, you can’t email, you can’t post it on my Facebook wall. If you really miss me, you come and see me.”
I began to think of all of the billions of intimate exchanges sent daily via fingers and screens, bouncing between satellites and servers....

Why I'm Switching From Blackberry
New year comes with changes, and one of those changes is going to be my Blackberry. Yup, I’m finally getting rid of it. I’ve had my Blackberry for 1.5 years now, and I think it’s time to let it go. What instigated this thought? Well I actually had no intention to switch my phone till next year (when I’m eligible for a hardware upgrade). But my Dad switched to the iPhone 4...
