I went watching the freshly released X-Men Origins: Wolverine last night. As expected, the room was full; to my surprise, the movie met my expectations and made it to my list of “talk-about-it-to-your-friends”. Although my friend Alain told me that the real story from the Marvel comic books wasn’t exactly like as it was portrayed in the movie, it was still good enough to me to satisfy my childhood question of where did X-Men came from. Believe it or not, I use to be a fan of the X-Men cartoon when I was a kid! However, understanding limited English back then and being victim of constant random repeats of old episodes, I never really got the grasp of the X-Men story. Not chronologically anyways. Bottom line, X-Men Origins is not my favorite movie, but I still recommend it as it is good entertainment and a good refreshment for childhood memories. And of course….
Yummy, Daniel Henney <3
DANIEL HENNEY! Yes, you probably guessed right. Daniel Henney, model and actor, was the greatest motivation for me to go see X-Men Origins. It was quite curious to see Daniel play the character of an almost -I’d say- brainless and evil character. I am too used to Daniel’s image of the perfect gentleman, smart, strong, etc. Although he wasn’t a main character, I am still happy for him for getting a role on such a big budget Hollywood film. Go Daniel!
My Daniel Henney fangirl crisis didn’t stop after X-Men ended. I came home, and decided to watch his second movie (of 3 he was ever in, the other one being Seducing Mr. Perfect). In the middle of the night (or should I say morning), I watched My Father in which Daniel plays James, a Korean adopted by Americans. James decides to go to Korea to find his birth parents to discover that his father is a murder sentenced to be on the death row. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED MOVIE. My Father is based on a true story, the life story of Aaron Bates. Several scenes in the movie was so touching that I had to stop it quite a few times to wipe my buckets of tears. It made me reflect on certain topics from a different angle. What is family, ethnicity, sin, death, bliss, gratitude?
You can watch the movie on My Soju.com
