西洋오랑캐

Well, the job search continues. I’m not sure if I will ever find work, since most of the jobs don’t seem that rockin’ and would require me to sign another contract for a year. However, today I learned that some billionaire was buying the school and is going to offer us jobs just teaching kindergarten. If I can score some money and some housing as well, I may consider it. Anyhow I supposedly going out with Vivian again this Friday which is rockin’…we’ll see what goes down. Peace out yo!

whoops.

First of all, it is not I that is now bankrupt, it is the school I worked with. Therefore, I’m currently seeking out new employment options. I’ve applied for several positions here in Korea, and hopefully will have a job soon…otherwise it’s all about a trip back to the States. I’m not down with that!

A Wicked Ghost

This horror flick comes to us from Hong Kong. The movie tells the story of a group of young adults who through a seance unleash an evil spirit. One by one’s the friends start to die under mysterious circumstances, save for a young man named Ming. Together with his drama teacher Mr. Mo, Ming attempts to figure out what’s going on before more people die.

REVIEW: Well…this movie was kind of a movie. The story, while borrowing some from The Ring, was original enough to keep me moderately interested. It was definately worth the $1 my friend paid for it when he went to Hong Kong and bought crazy VCDs. Anyhow perhaps the best thing about this movie was the names of the characters. Among the victims of the wicked ghost we had: Biggie, Big B, Rubbish, Annie, Cissy, and then there’s Jack. Additionally the horrible subtitles were reason enough to watch (”Last night I’m making the nightmare.”) There was a good impalement through a mouth also. However the ending….(beware I’m going to give away the little bit of an ending there is here).
Pretty much the movie ends with Ming (the main character) dead and or hospitalized (the subtitles said he was in the hospital, but I don’t speak Madarin or Cantonese so I don’t know), and Mr. Mo, Cissy, and Jack in a room with the ghost who’s getting ready to get some killing going on…Roll Credits! My friend said he thought that by that point the writer had just gotten bored. I’d have to agree. The movie sucked some, but inspite of the ending, or perhaps because of the ending, I’m working on downloading A Wicked Ghost 2 and 3.
