Asians in Lakeview Terrace

We spotted some Asian peeps in Lakeview Terrace. Here’s who we found:

Robert Dahey as Jung Lee Pak

Ho-Jung as Sang Hee Pak

Lynn Chen as Eden

You can actually see Robert Dahey in the beginning of the trailer. Here’s the synopsis for Lakeview Terrace.

Moving into a dream home on a quiet Southern California cul-de-sac
becomes a nightmarish ordeal for a young couple in Lakeview Terrace, the
latest explosive film from award-winning director Neil LaBute. Chris and Lisa
Mattson (Patrick Wilson and Kerry Washington) have just moved into their new
suburban house when they become the target of their next-door neighbor. A
stern, single father, this tightly wound LAPD officer (Samuel L. Jackson) has
appointed himself the watchdog of the neighborhood. His nightly foot patrols
and overly watchful eyes bring comfort to some, but he becomes increasingly
harassing to the newlyweds. These persistent intrusions into their lives
ultimately turn tragic when the couple decides to fight back.

113th Birthday For World’s Oldest Man

The world’s oldest man, Tomoji Tanabe celebrated his 113th birthday on Thursday, September 18, 2008. For his birthday, he got gifts, flowers and $1,000 cash from the mayor of his hometown of Miyakonojo. Tanabe told reporters he wants to live about another five years. The guy looks young for his age.

In Japan, the average life expectancies are about 79 years for men and 86 years for women. A healthy diet of fish and rice is credited to Japanese longevity. (Eating more sushi is good.) The number of Japanese living past 100 has reached a record high of about 36,000 people this year. Women make up 86 percent of the total.
