2010: English Language Films

[aperfectsong]

Sorry this took me so long to get to - I promised it the next day, but a lot was going on. Then we had the 3rd worst blizzard in Chicago history.....

This is continued from my post of the Foreign Language Films I've watched in 2010. These are kind of listed in the order I watched them. Have you seen any? Or can you recommend me any based on my list?

:) Niiiiiiice! I'm gonna have to go back and check out some of the ones you mention here that I never got around to... "An Education" and "Winter's Bone" particularly.

Did you like Sassy Girl? We watched Teach Me English over the weekend, which was cute and funny, and I asked about Sassy Girl but Patricia said she didn't like the main character.

And oddly we watched Princess Bride, which I liked expect for the princess's hugely passive character.

If you get a chance to see Winter's Bone I'd recommend it. That's my pic of movie for the year.

Oops, sorry I missed Winter's Bone on your list!

Haha.

As for Sassy Girl, the girl in the Korean version was kind of nuts. Still, I liked that version more then the American version because some parts of it made more sense. Theres a part with a soldier that makes sense in Korea (because every male has to be in the military for a set amount of time unlike in the US). Strange thing though, I've only seen 2 Korean movies and in both of them the girl was pretty much crazy. The other was The Many Faces Of My Girlfriend. Not to mention that I lived with two Korean internationl students who both had their share of outbursts lol. Still, My Sassy Girl is just a romantic comedy when it comes down to it. It fulfills its purpose. :)

The girl in Teach Me English was pretty crazy too. I was so mad at her at one point. It's Korean as well. And Patricia saw the Korean version of Sassy Girl.

I'll try to look for some more cheapo Korean DVDs.
