One of my favorite Japanese movie series is ALWAYS 三丁目の夕日 or Always Sunset on Third Street. I watched the first movie a couple weeks before the DVD release of the second movie. I just loved it. So much so that the day the DVD of the second movie was released I went to 4 different rental stores trying to rent it. As I previously wrote, I was excited to watch the third movie.

For two weeks before the release of this movie they aired the other two movies each Friday and was still so hooked. Kumi says she can’t believe how much I like these movies. She said I must be the only foreigner Continue reading →

Weekend of movies!

So besides working on backing up all my DVDs to HDD, I watched several movies over the weekend.

The first was on Friday, I watched Van Wilder: Freshman Year. This movie was released straight to video in 2009 and I never heard of it. Being a big fan of the first, I thought I would give this a try. It reminded me of a 80s T&A movies. What was OK. About the same level as the 2nd. They say it was a prequel but with all the men of the Wilder family being Vance(AKA Van), it could be a Continue reading →

New Year’s Eve two days early or…

5 days late.

As I mentioned before, we were supposed to watch New Year’s Eve on Christmas Eve but Kumi wasn’t feeling well. So we watched it tonight.

I spent the first 10mins or so was just finding out all the stars in it and not really getting into the story lines. The movie was as expected. Hollywood is running out of ideas so they throw a lot of star power in without much of a Continue reading →

Jack and Jill went up the hill…

To make you laugh.

I was hoping to watch a bunch of Christmas movies on Christmas Day but there were none on TV. Movie Plus was just showing a stupid Steven Seagal movie. Not sure which one because they are all basically the same. We ended up just watching Fox Japan’s Christmas dramas.

On Boxing Day I watched Jack and Jill. I’m a big Adam Sandler fan and this movie didn’t let me down. From the start of the movie, I was laughing. Sandler makes an ugly woman. If you an Adam Continue reading →

So our original plan was to see New Year’s Eve on Christmas Eve but my wife wasn’t feeling up to it. Instead we came home with our Hotto Motto Bento and watched Movie Plus. Of course I had my Christmas Traditional drink of Champagne and Orange Juice.

First up was Terminator Salvation. This was my third or forth time watching it. I enjoyed this one much like I enjoyed the rest of the series. I always wonder how different would it of been if Arnold played Kyle Reese in the first movie instead of the Terminator. If Arnold did take the role I think there may of been no series and Arnold’s fame Continue reading →

Breaking Dawn or Breaking Bella?

On Sunday I watched The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1. Truthfully I like most vampire movies, even love story ones. I’ve watched and enjoyed all of the twilight saga. This one didn’t really match up to the rest. By the evening I couldn’t remember what I watched when the wife asked me. Not to mention, I hate when movies do Part 1 and Part 2. I don’t want to watch half a movie.

Here are some things that did stand out. The way they made　Bella look sick and skinny was excellent. It reminded me of Skinny Steve. Also what’s up with Jacob? He “imprints” on Bella’s kid!!! Can you say pedophile wolf? Continue reading →

He tapped him out!

In case you didn’t know, I’m a huge MMA fan. Needless to say, I watch all the MMA movies. Tonight I got home from work and watched Warrior. This may be the biggest MMA movie yet to be made. I remember seeing ads on UFC for it. Even with bigger sponsors, and cameos from MMA celebrities, I still put this movie on the same level as Never Back Down.

But I did enjoy this movie when the tournament started. The beginning felt a little too long. I was intrigued by Tommy but Brendan story felt like I story I seen in man, many movies. Being such a fan boy, I felt the fights were Continue reading →

I woke up, wrote about The Muse and turned on the TV. The Condemned was on Movie Plus HD so I watched it. Again. I’ve seen this movie countless times. Out of all the WWE movies, this is the best one. After this one the WWE movies just got worse and worse.

The plot is they take 10 death row inmates, put them on an island and the sole survivor gets to be free. Meanwhile they stream everything over the net. Steve Austin is the main face of the movie while Vinnie Jones is the main heel. It’s a low budget action film. Lots of fighting and blood. Continue reading →

Is Sarah a muse or just crazy?

Last night after setting up our small Christmas tree, we watch an older movie called The Muse on Fox bs238. I’m pretty sure I’ve watched this movie before, long before. It was older but we still could enjoy.

The plot is about a failing screenwriter who gets introduced to a Muse. The modern-day Muse takes him on as a client. She basically makes him do everything and pay everything in her life while guiding him with ideas.

This movie had a lot of laughs but that wasn’t the best part. Beside the well known cast, it also had a lot of cameos. It was great seeing Continue reading →

I may not look like it and for the most part I love comedies but there is a sick and twisted side of me. I’ve always enjoyed horror movies and even more if it’s gory. I always cheered for Jason Voorhees and enjoyed Jigsaw’s games. With that being said, I just watched Final Destination 5.

Much like the Saw series, I like to see the different ways they kill off the characters. Final Destination 5 had the same plot as the rest of the series. A group of people are in a gruesome accident then suddenly one person snaps out of the daydream to realize it was Continue reading →
