Watch Your Language: Your Guide to Subtitled Cinema
by Rosalie Lewis
The first non-English language film I ever saw was purchased from a rotating wire rack of “Pre-played” VHS at a grocery store in Colville, Washington for $9.97. It starred Robert Benigni and it had just won a bunch of Oscars. Yes, you guessed it: La Vita e Bella, aka Life Is Beautiful. I watched it probably five times in the next year, and while I have no idea if I would still feel as moved by it today, at the time it felt revolutionary to me.

Korean Horror: A Love Story
by Melissa Uhrin
Korean horror is a newer love of mine, and I find myself caught up in the "honeymoon phase" of our budding relationship. My heart is all aflutter at the thought of watching what is next on my list, have severe difficulties focusing on anything aside from what I have just watched (let alone focus long enough to sit down to write about it), the desire to watch any film outside of a Korean horror is practically non-existent and I am counting down the minutes until we meet again. Or perhaps that's just my ADD projecting itself.
