What's On @ Korean Cineplex

Korean movies were dominating the box office this week. With 명량 (The Roaring Currents)'s viewers surpassing 10 millions, no wonder that it became the talk of the whole nation. 

But, other movies like How To Train Your Dragon 2 and Guardians of the Galaxy and another Korean movie '해적' or Pirates were also dominating the box office. 

I was perplexed by the selections offered by the cineplex this summer.

But..what can I do? I got to see most of them.

Being a movie-freak, I couldn't just let them pass me by, right?

The Kids Slept Over @ The Library...and Then???

It's August 8 and the kids were having a sleep-over @ the library. Yes, it's a summer vacation for the kids. As many as 20 kids from all walks of life...Koreans and foreigners were having a one-night party for one night. I took the kids early at about 6 even before others were coming..since I was having another plan with the kids' Mom.^^ 

Eyra and Freya were already making friends with a lad who seemed to be getting along well as soon as they met one another.

Modu Children Library was having this activity to let the kids get along well and learn from each other about 'socializing'. 

and..what about me^^ Yes, finally we're having a time just the two of us...watching movies. We watched 'Guardians of the Galaxy' in 4DX.  

Long story short: the following morning..at about 9 a.m. I was picking up the kids from the library and...they looked so happy and amazingly..they did not seem to be tired although from what I heard...they told me that they slept late....^^

Well....they DID have fun.

Awesome Mix. Vol. 1

What a 70s and 80s classic compilation it is!
I was hooked into all of them already since I was growing up with most of the songs.

Yes...Peter Quill brought me back into my years back in the 1980s.

I think Marvel did a marvelous job of bringing back so many memories through the songs featured in the movies. These songs not only came up in the movie but they are integrally intertwined into the movie so seamlessly that each time each of the song comes into the screen..I was like..."gosh, I know this song" "wait, is that....?" "wait...I wonder when was the last time I listened to the song?"

For everyone who hasn't seen Guardians of the Galaxy, well..if you happen to be a fans of Marvel ...well....go get your ticket and be zapped into another cosmos of eargasm..as others have been raving about this compilation.

Yup..it's a mash-up of Awesome Mix. Vol. 1.

What about vol. 2? I'm sure they're coming along..in the next movie.

How to Train Your Dragon 2

After a week since its release, Eyra and Freya asked me to take them to the theater. This time...it's Dragon time. Yep, they watched the first one and this one seems to excel as well. Eyra wouldn't have been so excited, had om Kiky and tante Nia not come to join us. Since there were not many seats left...I got to purchase the tickets online so as to confirm our seats. 

There were 6 of us watching the 'HTTYour Dragons" on IMAX.

I thought the IMAX at Yongsan was the same height and size as the one in Wangshimni CGV..but boy...I was wrong. It's not even half the size of the latter. :(

But..luckily the HTTYD in 3D was amazing. 

and oh...just a day before...."Guardians of the Galaxy" was also the one movie I did enjoy.

Oh child....^^(one of the OST's title) still lingers on my ear.

other 80's songs dotted during the movie really got me hooked to the movie.

What a MARVEL movie. I love every bit of it.
