This is it

2009 Lost Memories is a great movie. It manages to keep the viewer interested for 133 minutes which in itself is quite an accomplishment. It's also about an alternate timeline where Korea is still a colony of Japan in 2009. It's got everything you want: two close friends who have to cope with slowly becoming enemies, very good action scenes that are only sometimes a little exaggerated, a love story with a bit too much pathos at times, a very interesting plot that keeps you in the dark about what's going on for 2/3 of the movie but that doesn't bother you at all as you accompany the main characters in their quest to find out. I really like asian movies. They are so refreshingly different. I could go on and on but I'll stop now before I give away too many spoilers. Just one more thing: it helps to know a bit about Korean-Japanese history.

Oh and by the way the little sucker to the left is the little sucker that made the fuse blow. Somebody very inexpertly attached our hearth to the power outlet. So this cable joining thingy (whatever the correct english term for it is) eventually caused a short circuit. What drives me mad is that this could have resulted in a nice fire. Look at how scorched that thing is. I really don't want all my things to burn to ashes. And me neither for that matter....
