Loud, Close & Young

Posted on by

I watched 2 great movies this weekend.

On Saturday, Kumi and I watched Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close. This was a great movie. This boy has extreme issues. I was really surprised how old Sandra Bullock looked. I sure hope they altered her face for this movie.

When I first saw the adds for this movie, I didn’t know what to think of it. I didn’t have much interest in it. But with Kumi being a big moviephile too, she wanted to see this. After watching the latest Apple Keynote, I Continue reading →

Chronicle

Posted on by

It’s been a while since I’ve watched a movie. I’ve been too busy playing UFC Undisputed 3 for XBox.

Today I had some free time so I watched Chronicle. I really enjoyed this movie. I enjoy the Mockumentary. This was one of the best Mockumentaries.

What I would do if I got the powers! It would be awesome but the truth is it would probably end the same way this movie did. The best parts of this movie was when they are playing pranks on people. The little girl and the teddy bear was Continue reading →

The Big Year for Harold and Kumar

Posted on by

Did I say for? I meant and…

I’m a little behind but I watched The Big Year and A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas a couple weeks ago.

I’m a big fan of Harold & Kumar as I was with Cheech & Chong. Harold and Kumar are really the modern day Cheech & Chong. I really enjoyed this movie. It wasn’t as good as the first but better than the second. The 3d had no point and I didn’t need the singing as usual. Continue reading →

ALWAYS 三丁目の夕日’64 (Always Sunset on Third Street ’64)

Posted on by

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!

Posted on by

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…

Posted on by

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 →

Salvation, Music and Lyrics on Xmas Eve

Posted on by

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?

Posted on by

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 →
