The Warrior's Way. Sword Play.

Last night at work, I was able to save the promotional display parts for The Warrior's Way. I guess management did not want to bother with setting it up. Their lost is my gain. 'Cause there was a sword included in the display. Er, my manager said it's a Kitana - not a sword. I mustn't call it a sword.


Anyways, here I am doing my ninja pose with Justin Bieber. Coincidentally, he's doing his ninja pose as well. The Warrior's Way starring Jang Dong-gun (Taegukgi) is on Friday, December 3.

Grade: B

Check out this movie Friday.

Moss. Why Would Anyone Want To Leave A Town Full Of People Trying To Kill You?




Moss, 이끼(I-ggi) a story about a man who goes to a village to attend the funeral of his father. But everyone is acting suspicious and odd. They follow his every move and they want him to leave. Instead, the man decides to stay and now the villagers want to kill him.

I thought this movie was awesome. The acting was superb. My favorite was Yoo Hae-jin (Truck) playing the chief's always pleasing right hand man. The villager's chief played by Jeong Jae-yeong was a scary villain. You'll be on the edge of your seat the entire time.

Grade: A

Tako Chips. No Trans Fat.


I found these chips over at the Wahiawa Tamura's while I was hanging out in the Asian aisle. I was looking for Korean tea and ramyeon. The Asian aisle is quickly becoming one of my favorites in any store. You can always find goodies for cheap. This Tamura's only had two Korean snacks, the other was a bag of roasted chestnuts. I told myself that I would pick up the bag of chestnuts closer to the holidays. Thus, I settled on the Tako Chips made by Nong Shim. It's a brightly pink colored bag with a pink octopus in goggles and snorkel. Cute.

Looking to change it up as far as movie snacks go, I took this into the movie Burlesque with a friend. When I opened the bag, she said it was really smelly. Ooops. Yeah, I probably should have thought about whether it would be distracting to others. Haha. I did not think it smelled of octopus-ish all that much, but I guess when you're with someone who really hasn't been around many Asian things the smell could be more intense for them. The chip was bite-sized and shaped like a octopus, fish, bomb, or vase, depending on the way I held it. And there were ridges on it, it looked like fingerprints. As far as the taste, the flavor of octopus was mild. And it reminded me of shrimp stick-shaped chips.

Overall, I would say the chips were meh. But it was only $0.84, so that was a steal on experiencing some new Korean stuff.

Grade: C-
