Clouds in the Sky – with the campus buildings
There were always the clouds in the sky during the last weekend. Continue reading
Cats and a Dog
Cats are hungry or sleepy in my campus; a Dog is having a good time with its master. Continue reading
Inception (2010) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4) : Descent into the labyrinth of dreams
Surprisingly to me, “Inception” is a small movie when viewed objectively from the outside. The story is not ground-breaking; it’s in a very familiar area where “Matrix” and other movies about the mind-bending world belong. The movie stays inside its settings and rules, and sticks to them even at the finale. Continue reading
Moss (2010) ☆☆(2/4) : A rural mystery – more than 2.5hr
After so much hoopla before its release, “Moss”, a much-anticipated Korean thriller of 2010, turns out to be very, very disappointing in almost every way you can imagine due to the fatally misguided direction.

Cloudy or Sunny, It’s hot anyway
Whether it rains or not, it’s always humid and hot. And people and animals look for some cool places.
Presumed Innocent (1990) ☆☆☆ (3/4) : A Prosecuted Prosecutor
“An innocent man has nothing to fear, remember that.”, said the cop in Hitchcock’s” The Wrong Man” to Henry Fonda’s arrested character, but we all know his saying is not true at all. Guilty or not, our fate will eventually be decided at the courtroom where the lawyers make arguments on your culpability in front of the judges and the jury. And in that inexorable system pursuing the justice, we tremble in fear for the sheer possibility of punishment sentenced upon us.
