Polar Opposites Make For A Crackling Good Time

This is weird: After a gloomy 2 hour experience watching Edward Norton's American History X, a story about a white supremacist and his sudden change of heart after a brief incarceration, I watched a Korean romantic comedy that females all over Southville have been talking about for ages. I talk about My Sassy Girl, of course, which co-star my long-time crush Jun Ji-hyun who I had no idea was in this film (otherwise, I'd have watched this film a looooong time ago).

Now, I say that this is weird because while I'll give a serious 5 out of 5 to American History X, I dare say that it's an inferior film to My Sassy Girl. And while a film like My Sassy Girl will never be nominated for an Oscar, it'll probably rate higher in my Favorite Films of All time list (if I ever make one) than the other film of comparison.

Without discussing anything concrete about the film (translation: I'm lazy!), My Sassy Girl not only feature one of the most beautiful girl this Japanese eyes had ever laid its sights on, it's practically the single most charming film I've ever seen.

So, while I'd like to have a lengthy discussion with my macho peers concerning the whats and hows and other hooplas of American History X, I'd really rather spend time with the Southville females and gloat over how cute My Sassy Girl is.
