(M) A Tale of Two Sisters (Ji-woon Kim, 2003). Grade: C- ?

A Tale of Two Sisters begins as the two sisters return home after a stay in a mental institution. Home isn't exactly sweet, as their evil stepmother (yeah) treats them coldly and their father is very distant and stern. There is a strange force in the house that no one wants to talk about, and soon enough, a creepy ghost begins haunting the family. As the story (sorta) unravels, you (sorta) find out the reasons why the girls were in a mental institute in the first place, and why things are happening. I won't say much more, but in the end, you're left scratching your head and wondering why certain things happened, and what the symbolisms were. At times the movie moved at a snail's pace, at other times, it was much more engaging. But overall, too much is left unsaid, leaving the viewer completely confused. I watched this movie with Cup O Noodles and another friend, and we were all confused about the storyline. We even had to go online to get some clarification. It's definitely a movie you have to watch more than once to fully get. I'll have to pass on that one.

Random stuff:

-Rewatched City of God tonight and was reminded of how amazing this movie is. Loooove it!
-Now that another great season of Project Runway is over, what show am I supposed to be obsessed with? Oh yeah, American Idol.
-Who's been watching Am Idol? Favorites so far are Chris Doughtry the rocker, and Tyler Hicks, the old young guy.
