Greetings

Hello! Formerly known to the world of LJ as nozomu_bunny (circa 2002-2007) I'm just your typical wanna-be writer, kinda an artist, and a fangirl of most things Asian. That means I'm intelligent (I hope), quirky, creative, open-minded, and fun-loving. Unfortunately I am also an embittered retail sales manager who is still trying to figure out what to do with her life. That part makes me negative, über-sensitive, cynical, anti-social, and pessimistic. I take pointless things seriously and obsess over entertaining little frivolities.

While this was created with the intention of being my personal blog, there really isn't much to tell. I work and am a home-body, so every day is pretty much the same. Any personal entries will happen at random, almost never, and will be friends locked. However, since much of my introverted time is spent watching movies, and because I also enjoy writing (and can be very opinionated), this journal will mainly consist of my film reviews (which will be open to the public).



Movie Reviews

I moderate and write reviews for korean_cinema and for now all of my reviews here will be from South Korea. Why? Because I've found that films from that particular country appeal to my own tastes and standards. I do watch Hollywood movies (though of late I don't go out of my way to do so) and other foreign films, but not as regularly, or with as much gusto as Korean cinema. They just do it best, in my humble opinion. I enjoy well-made movies that are really character driven with good plots. Character is key, and if there are people in any story that I identify with or thoroughly enjoy, then I will forgive a faulty plot. Sometimes even the most awesome story ever told will fail in my eyes if I hate all the characters. So in that sense, my reviews can be in-depth and riddled with spoilers. Please don't read my reviews if you're just wanting a "you must see this movie" or "this sucked" comment. I write in a conversational manner, and encourage people to share their comments with me. Discussing different thoughts on films is one of the biggest enjoyments of watching them!
