About Time (어바웃타임)

Just as the date shows it's December 29,2013, I remembered a feel-good movie I watched this year. It's none other than '어바웃타임'  or 'About Time'. At first, never had I imagined that I would end up buying the ticket and see this turned-out-to-be a memorable movie I watched this year. 

At first, I wanted to see the Hobbit, but since it was not showing in Seoul, I got to console myself by deciding which movie to watch and I think I'd made a great decision. The story was like "whoa...what a minute..is this this-kind-of-movie? and yes..science fiction-romantic-comedy-drama-all wound up into one masterpiece of Richard Curtis who brought us 'Love Actually' and other British-esque movie--which 'encapsulates' its theme with...out-of-this-world trivialities.^^ 

Rachel McAdams who's now in the list of my -oh,she's great-actresses never failed to impress me throughout the whole movie. So did Domhnall Gleeson who's sure to paint 'a rainbow' on everyone's mind with his portrayal of a time traveler who pursues nothing but love.

Yes, for anyone who hasn't got a chance to see the movie, just go grab its DVD or go to your local theater..though the chances are that they're not showing this movie any longer, except in Korea...which deliberately made this movie into a Christmas movie or wait...well..a movie to celebrate the end of the year and to welcome the 2014 with much more optimism and positive view on the time we are living in.

--*--

oh, just for the sake of showing what it is all about:

Turbo! But, where's "Despicable Me 2"???

"Daddy, please....let's go see 'Turbo!!!"

Yes..it's summer and summer movies are lining up to 'grind' the pockets...deeply.

But...hey..it's Freya's Birthday...and Okay, girls...let's go. 

Actually we've been waiting for the premier of 'Despicable Me 2' in Korea. But even up to now there are no signs of when it'll be even shown in Korea. *sigh*

So...to make up for it...'TURBO' would be just fine. 

So, Eyra and Freya..got in line to get their share of 'Turbo' merchandise. 

I know...I know...should we buy the bulk-sized popcorn and snail-capped beverages simply to get the toys? Well, that's the additional and sometimes -unavoidable-charges when it comes to coming to theater with kids.^-^ 

So....터보 Turbo beverages were in their hands...and...

shall we proceed to the movie, kids? 

And the best part of it all was that...me and my wife were fasting...and that means only one thing: the kids got to drink the huge beverage by themselves and the popcorn, too.

As for us...we're simply 'happy' watching them eat them. ^^ ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 

Not a minute too soon...they started digging INTO the popcorn...oh, well...

I know it's utterly overpriced for popcorn. But...some say that popcorn @ the movie theater is one of the ways cineplex DOES make more money apart from the ticket sales. Yes, I agree...because..

.popcorn is WAY much more expensive than the TICKET itself. 

Silly and funny, eh? 

But..why in the world..people always get in line to buy them?

Just to complement the feel of movie watching experience?

And..why did we even buy them, too?

Oh..no.....

the kids asked for it? oh..no....

Why couldn't I just say "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" to them?

why ...and ..why?

But....All of these so-called inquiries and questions' seemed to fade away....

One thing for sure...It's a good thing and a relief that TURBO 터보 turned out to be a good and feel good movie for both kids and the parents. The picture was breathtakingly clear and the story line was warmly good, too.

More than what I had expected.

So, although I've been waiting for 'Despicable Me 2" actually...

seeing "TURBO" first...was a good experience, too...eventually.

So, thanks kiddos.

OH..happy Birthday, Freya.
