Hollywood Remakes

It's been a while. Yet I am still here, alive and kicking.

I am finally getting over my korean drama obsession phase.
While My Love Patzzi will always have a special place in my heart, I have come to the realization that soap operas take up too much of my time. Duhh.

So I switched to 2-hour movies instead. Haha.

And after hours of watching several korean movies ( I think I'm starting to pick up the language already) My Sassy Girl definitely comes out on top. It must be one of the best korean movies ever made. Seriously, believe the hype.

Why else would Hollywood consider buying rights for a remake?

It seems that Hollywood is really into asian movie remakes recently.
Juon. Il Mare. Shall We Dance.

Yup, that dance movie featuring J-Lo and Richard Gere is a remake of a Japanese movie I saw for my Japanese History & Culture class back in college. One of the few arts & humanity classes I decided to take to break free from the endless contemplation of rocks in which I spent the better half of my college education.

I wonder if they will ever decide to remake a Malaysian movie one day. Which reminds me I have yet to see Sepet. Seems like a really good date movie. Not that I have a date to go see it with.. darn!
