The Oscar-Worthy Movies ...Worth-Watching?

Definitely saw it: three times. (dramatically hooked and zapped into it). 
Hmm..the black & white movie I don't think I'll e'er watch--not that I don't want to...well, the question is....how and where to watch it....:_ )ㅋㅋㅋ
Yep. Hauntingly absorbed me into some flashes of bitterly dark history* of the humankind....(hmm..history, eh?) look around us or in other parts of the world. 
Was it a sin to say that  I was entertained by this vulgarly-exposed pursuit of pleasure (when we can have them all??)^-^

Oscar Morning w/ Freya...

Ellen was walking down the aisle talking to (is that Jonah Hill?) her audience as she hosted the Oscar night...or morning for us, right here in Seoul. 
Yes..I was able to catch the first glimpses of Oscar big night via live broadcasting at home. It's March 3 (03-03) and Freya..who hasn't started her school until March 7 this week....accompanied me ..watching the Oscar show that morning. 
Ellen (with her Ellen's show I usually watch on YouTube) is one of the reasons I stayed tune in TV to get what she would come up with. Well, she did some funny jokes with her stand-ups. Okay..don't want to talk more about it. But...okay...this would remind me of the morning Oscar was live on TV. Thanks, Freya for letting your Dad watch TV for a while...though I couldn't see the whole show..
since well...ㅋㅋㅋ I got some classes to catch.
* As I was about to go, ....
Freya blurted out "Dad, can I CHANGE the channel?"

Wait...We got to see the Korean-version of FROZEN!

We did see Frozen (겨울왕국) with other friends in February. I got admit that the film seemed to have a magnet of its own. Well, this is what happened...we saw it three times. Hmm what actually happened was that....the previous ones we saw were the original (English) version..and my daughters had been asking (read: begging) me to take them to see the movie in Korean (the dubbing version of Frozen). 
So, here we were. Just one day before the school started, I reserved 3 seats for 겨울 왕국 for the kids. I know that it may sound weird...but not at all...since...as much as they speak Indonesian and understand English...but....since they've been exposed to Korean life (and its language, naturally) for almost 3 years....they desperately wanted to see this Korean version of Disney's Frozen. Another reason?
Our ears have been bombardized by songs of the OST of Frozen in Korean version. So, of course..we're kind of curious of what the movie would sound like in Korean...which turned out to be on par with that of the original in English. 
Wow...those dubbers and singers are amazing. 
My salute and I took my hat off for them. And the kids turned out to love the Korean version as well. Now they sing along both versions. 아하!
Thanks to the quick and easy reservation system of CGV, I didn't have to bother taking a queue of buying or securing seats for any movie screenings. 
* and oh...Frozen: Congratulations for your OSCAR's win. 
You deserved it.
