Duelist


The Duelist a Korean film. I found this movie great. I like also its sound effects.

This movie opens with a fish tale narrated by a low-class metalsmith in a tavern in Joseon-era south-western Korea, . The scene then cuts to a street circus, in which an elegant masked swordmaster (Kang Dong-won) fascinates his market-place audience. Undercover detective Ahn (Ahn Sung-ki), and his protégé Namsoon (Ha Ji-won) are tracking down suspected money-counterfeiter gang, when the masked swordmaster ends his show by killing a government official who carries the kingdom's currency metal cast.

Later Namsoon goes undercover then she'll get to know Kang Dong-won. Then they'll fall in love, however, they each belong to opposing parties. Just watch it to get a clearer view of the story.

I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK


I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK is a Korean romantic comedy film directed by Park Chan-wook. I find this movie very unique. The love story is not "sumo" (a bisaya term).

This film's setting is in a mental institution. Young-goon, a young woman who believes herself to be a cyborg, refuses to eat and instead administers electric shocks to herself. Il-sun, a young male patient hospitalized for anti-social behaviour and schizophrenia, who believes he can take other peoples souls, befriends Young-goon. After Young-goon is given shock treatment, she believes that she has been recharged and fantasizes about killing the hospital staff who had previously taken her mentally-ill grandmother away. In reality, her physical condition begins to deteriorate rapidly. By convincing her that he had installed a food-to-electrical-energy converting unit (a rice-megatron) in her back, Il-sun gets Young-goon to eat.

Sad Movie


Sad Movie is a Korean movie about four relationships and their trials, pains, heartaches, and subsequent separations. The plot lines eventually connect in some way, but they remain unrelated for the most part.


The first story tells of a firefighter and his girlfriend named Su-Jung who works in a TV station as a news translator for the mute. She's waiting for him to propose, focused on the rationale that given his dangerous job, she likes the idea of him having to think of her, to hesitate for a while before jumping into danger. He, on the other hand, is waiting for that perfect opportunity, setting and all, before popping the question. The second story is about a mute girl who works as a costume character in a theme park. There she meets a young artist who she begins to develop feelings for quickly; yet refuses to take off her mask in front of him for quite some time. The third story is of a mother and child. The mother was too busy to spend time with her young son, until an illness confines her to a hospital bed. There the mother and son begin to communicate more and more. Lastly, the story of a boy and girl who have just broken up. The girl's reason being that she needs a more stable guy with a good job. The unemployed ex-boyfriend goes off and finds himself a job helping other couples break up. Hoping that if he earns enough money, he could woo his loved one back.

This romantic comedy film is starred by My Sassy Girl's main actor Jung Woo-Sung (as Jin-Woo), Im Su-Jung (as Su-Jung), Cha Tae-Hyun (as Ha-Seok), Yeom Jung-Ah (as Ju-Yung), Shin Min-Ah (as Su-Eun), Son Tae-Yung (as Suk-Hyun), and Lee Ki-Woo (as Sang-Gyu). It was the second film directed by Kwon Jong-kwan.

Il Mare


Il Mare, a very nice film, is a starred by, Windstruck's main actress, Jun Ji-hyun and Lee Jung-Jae. The title, Il Mare, means 'The Sea' in Italian, and is the name of the seaside house which is the setting of the story.

According to the most popular interpretations of the film, there are two distinct timelines intertwined throughout most of the film. These two timelines are torn away from each other at the end of the film, causing the "bittersweet" nature of the ending.

It started with Eun-joo moving out of a house by the sea called "Il Mare". As she is leaving, she leaves a Christmas card in the mailbox, asking the next resident to please forward her mail to her. Sung-hyun, an architectural student, receives her card, but is puzzled, since he is the first resident at "Il Mare" and the card is dated 2 years in the future. After a series of back and forth correspondences, Eun-joo and Sung-hyun realize they are living 2 years apart, Eun-joo in the year 2000 and Sung-hyun in the year 1998. After some testing, Eun-joo and Sung-hyun discover that the mailbox at "Il Mare" is enabling their communication and they can pass objects through it. Utilizing the mailbox,soon they meet each other

Windstruck


Windstruck is Korean fantasy-romantic comedy movie directed by Kwak Jae-yong. The film was a success. Me and my friends are so moved by the movie.

The film is starred by My Sassy Girl's main actress Jun Ji-hyun as Officer Kyung-jin Yeo. She plays an ambitious young female police officer serving on the Seoul police department. One day while chasing a purse snatcher, she accidentally captures Myung-woo Go (played by Jang Hyuk), a physics teacher at an all-girls school, who was actually trying to catch the thief. Later, Myung-woo discovers the stolen purse, but just as he picks it up, Kyung-jin spots him and tries to arrest him again. Kyung-jin is then given the job of escorting Myung-woo through a dangerous district, only to be distracted when she tries to break up a meeting between Russian Mafia and Korean gangsters. With Myung-woo handcuffed to her, Kyung-jin almost single-handedly brings down the two rival gangs (although she is helped when she accidentally causes the groups to start shooting at each other). For more infos about this film just watched it!!!! You will for sure, enjoy it

Robots2

Moving Around

AsimopublicGetting a robot to walk on two legs is one of the most difficult things for roboticists. (Makes you realize how wonderfully advanced our bodies are.) The most famous walking robot is Honda's Asimo. Just over three feet high, this robot pop star has already been to the Philippines and met a few lucky girls and boys. Some robots, like Sony's charming robot dog, Aibo, walk on all fours. Other robots roll around on treads like tanks or on wheels, and some even tiptoe like a spider on eight legs!

Even if robots today aren't as advanced as robots in movies or cartoons, they are good for performing repetitive tasks. Image attaching doors to a car all day, every day for the rest of your life? That would be dull, dull, DULL! For tasks like these, it's best to let a robot do it for you- they are stronger and more precise. Robots are also good for working in dangerous situations, like taking gas and lava samples from an active volcano. They don't breathe so poison fumes won't harm them, and their metal bodies can withsand much more heat than your fragile skin. Robots can also go to places humans can't. They can explore Mars or dive the depths of the Atlantic Ocean in search for suken ships.

Tech Tidbit!

Do you know where the word "robot" comes from? In 1920, Czechoslovakian playwright Karel Capek wrote R.U.R. (short for Rassum's Universal Robots). The play became a worldwide success. Capek got the term from his brother Josef, who derived in from the Czech word Robota, meaning drudgery or sevitude.
