"Mission Impossible" with Korean Subs

Not sandwiches.

My parents/roommates and I went out to the movies the other night and watched the new "Mission Impossible" at the relatively new Madang Courtyard mini-mall in Ktown.  The design of this place is based off traditional Korean design elements so I had fun taking pictures.  We watched the movie at the sleek CGV Cinema which is a South Korean theater chain now in L.A.  What's cool about this theater is that it screens Korean movies and American blockbusters with Korean subtitles.  Hence, I watched MI with Korean subtitles . . . but Korean subs would have been yum.

Take Care of My Cat

"Take Care of My Cat" is one of my favorite Korean movies to date . . . although I haven't watched very many Korean movies recently.  If you have any suggestions on good Korean films, let me know.

Anyhoo, the movie is about five high school friends dealing with transition in their lives and in their friendship.  I also really appreciate the film's glimpse into the growing multicultural face of Korean society.

I also love the soundtrack.  I discovered Byul (not to be confused with the female Kpop star) through this movie who created the score for the film.  This first clip shows him introducing the director of "Take Care of My Cat", Jeong Jae-eun and playing an alternate version of "2" from the movie. 

The second video is a music video for the movie, and the song title roughly translates into "Where did the genuine french fry period go?"  Yup, I'm feelin' it. 

I've been searching for more of his music online but haven't been able to dig up too much yet.

I hope these talented artists keep creating.
