K-tagged 101: Korean Films & TV Shows
16 titles |
Public
These are the Korean shows and movies that left me with long-lasting impressions. I am not a big fan of typical K-drama produced to sell to the Hallyu fans. If you relate with me, you might like my lists.
I learned that the "true" K-dramas have unique qualities and artistry that many can appreciate: solid storytelling without sparkles and flashes; petrified without blood and gore; violence without guns and sex; anger, pride, and envy without being explicit; sensuality without sex; eroticism without being vulgar — well, except for many modern ones. In my humble POV, Korean films and TV shows lost their way in their artistry and regressed to immaturity and cliche. But the traditions go a long way.

Dancers Digest - dance-themed or featuring notable dances.
23 titles |
Public
Dance-themed movies or movies that feature dancing, putting a smile on my face. I hope they do the same for you too.
I am the original owner of the Dancers Digest, founded in 1992. I lost my business, and the website along with it, when I became terminally ill. So I am staying happy vicariously by watching other people dancing while trying to gain back my websites.

The best TV series, including sitcoms - not necessarily commercially successful but popular and deserves to be mentioned and watched.
Most of them are the shows in the English language, but I have included foreign shows as well.

The Wizarding World: Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts film series in Chronological Order
16 titles |
Public
Spoiler alert: if you are new to this franchise series, do not read my summary below. Watch each film before reading my takes to enjoy a different POV.
The summary of each film below is my own. I noticed that some folks published my summaries below without giving me any due credit. Even the grammar/spelling errors were copied and pasted. Not cool. :(
There is a gap in years. I did a bit of research, but I do not know how and why.
----- WATCH IN THE FOLLOWING ORDER ----- Watch in the order the films were released. It is fun to see how human minds work to fill in the blanks or make up for previous mistakes. It will be exciting for you to find Easter eggs.
1. Watch all the "Harry Potter and..." series. 2. Then watch the "Fantastic Beasts..." series.
----- IN THE ORDER OF YEARS EACH FILM IS SET IN -----
• FANTASTIC BEASTS ERA • Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore
• HARRY POTTER ERA • Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
• VOLDEMORT'S RETURN ERA • Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows 1 Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows 2

Food is memory. I want to taste home in my food.
From all around the world. Knowing the cultural and/or culinary background will help you appreciate the films' intentions. This list is made for a friend today, but I decided to make it public. :D
Frankly, it is very rare to see a movie that balances the epicurean story and the human side of the story.

The Lobster (2015)
Like-it-or-hate-it
30 January 2019 - 0 out of 3 users found this review helpful.
This is a like-it-or-hate-it kind of movie. As for me, I loved it.
This is not a movie for those who are looking for fastpaced story-throwing that bombard the senses. The deliberate delays and slow storytelling coupled with awkwardness is darkly funny yet at the same time intensely thought-provoking. This is one of the true dystopian films and important movie to watch.
