The One With Aldacron

There are a lot of old TV movies and miniseries that I’d love to see because I was too young when they originally aired, or because I really enjoyed them back then. Most, if not all, I could find with a simple search on Amazon. But, unfortunately, I really need a version with Korean subtitles [...]

Last week, I was wandering through one of the DVD shops I frequent and stumbled across Clash of the Titans. I snatched it up immediately. It’s one of a few movies that I saw repeatedly in the early 80s on cable ( a couple of others being Dragonslayer and Zorro, the Gay Blade ). Cable [...]

Charlie Wilson’s War opened in Korea earlier this week. I knew absolutely nothing about it, having seen no previews of it and having never heard of Charlie Wilson. I love being able to go into a movie with no expectations at all. It usually makes for a better experience. This movie didn’t need the help, [...]

A few days ago I was at my favorite DVD shop going through the discounted titles. They have shelves and shelves of $10 DVDs (with one section full of titles at 4 for $10). When I saw the five Batman movies at $10 each, I realized I hadn’t bought any of them yet. So I [...]

I’m hoping very much that they are released in Korea, but just in case I’m going to order the region 1 versions online [...]

I’m pretty happy right now. I’ve been trying for some time to get seasons 9 & 10 of Friends (the region 3 version with Korean subtitles). Rather than go into the problems I had getting them (from my aversion to Korean online shopping malls with their blatant invasion of privacy to brick & mortar stores [...]

The wife and I saw the new Pride & Prejudice yesterday. I had hoped to see it while I was in the States, but it wasn’t playing anymore at any local theaters while I was there. It’s only been out a week or two here. I enjoy period movies, particularly dramas (my favorite for a [...]
