What would your oma do?

Lately with school starting I've been so busy/lazy and not wanting to do anything. I walked out on my algebra class yesterday and didn't look back. (I winded up dropping it) The 3 hr class was once a week early in the morning (8:30am is still considered early for me, ok?), teacher did not lecture well, loudly, or clearly and most of all??? He reaked of old cigarettes!!! The fan that was placed right next to his desk kept blowing his smell all over the classroom!! It was the first day and we were going over the syllabus and as 40 minutes passed by I quickly snuck out like a ninja! (It helped that I sat in the last row as well) Our homework assignment was 130 problems each week!! No calculator!!! We actually had to show our work on all those darn problems!! Is he crazy???? I have 3 other intense classes to worry about plus full time work! I will p-a-s-s! 


I should have known not to put more on my plate than what I can handle. Plus, I saw his ratings on this cool website called ratemyprofessors.com and they were not that grand. Oh well, lesson learnt......


So.....the other day before class started I wanted to do something productive (besides studying) and finally watched the Korean movie, "Mother." I just so happened to see it at Blockbuster the night before and was surprised to see a Korean film mixed in with Top New Releases. "Hmmm....this should be interesting", I thought to myself. This film must be good if Blockbuster found it worth while to sell/rent it amongst their other top American movies.

The director, Joon-ho Bong, is the same person who did "My Girlfriend's a Secret Agent" (another good Korean movie I liked.) So, Mother is basically about a mother (of course) that desperately searches for the killer that framed her (handicapped) son for their horrific murder.


I have to admit I was expecting a tad more suspense and action but I quickly remembered that this wasn't a blood gushing, detail showing American film. Hahaha. Well....speaking of details, there is this one part that caught me off guard.....like really off guard (and you'll know what I mean when you see it. :D )


The beginning was a little slow but after 30-40 minutes it starting getting interesting. All in all the movie was good and the ending was great. It totally got me saying, "What?? Really??...Oh...I get it." Just watch it for yourself! I give it 4 out of 5 stars!!
