Koreans in Space

For the first time in a couple of months its raining like crazy in DC. It's a three-day weekend for those who still have Columbus Day on their calendars but it will be a good weekend for watching movies or reading.

Tonight I watched "Save the Green Planet" at the Korean Film Festival at the Smithsonian. This is a strange, interesting and appealing film about a "crazy man" that kidnaps a Korean industrialist because he believes he is an alien out to destroy Earth. The film bombed in Korea but has become a cult classic abroad. I enjoyed it because it was not predictable, it was strange, and it was very funny. It is, however, not likely to be coming to a theatre near you anytime soon.
