Hibernation season is upon us. I know this because I watched 4 movies this past weekend, spending as much time inside as possible.
The first one was "Take This Waltz," a terribly awkward Canadian movie. The only good things about this movie were 1. the character played by Sarah Silverman and 2. the fact that we saw it at the fancy new IFC Mall CGV. The chairs were like recliners.
I actually woke up semi-early on Saturday to go to one of the palaces to see the fall foliage and the weather was pretty nice around noon. After eating lunch, it got cold so my friends and I decided to go a DVD bang. We chose to watch "Silent Hill," a fairly old scary movie. It cost about $20 for a 4 person room with a pretty big couch to get it on.
Saturday night, I went home and rented a Korean movie called "All About My Wife." It was actually pretty good. SH thought it was just gonna be a dumb Korean drama comedy, but it turned out to be better, plus I really like the main character, Lee Sun Gyun.
Finally, on Sunday, I went to see Skyfall. I thought it was just okay. I wasn't blown away, but I never have really been into the Bond movies anyway. I only went along for the ride when I was younger. This weekend, I remembered why Korean movie theaters are way better than American movie theaters. The popcorn is so much cheaper! And they sell beer! A large popcorn and 2 draft beers cost $10!
The next 3 weekends in November consist of lots of birthday parties and Thanksgiving! So, I guess I will be forced to watch less movies.
