  Memories of Matsuko 2006

  ★★★★★ Watched 29 May 2023

  I don't even know how to describe it, or even if I would want to. It's like a comedy/musical/thriller/mystery/drama... and it manages to be great at all of them.

  Miki Nakatani really killed it as Matsuko but everyone else really fit their roles perfectly. The effects, the way it's shot, and the locations/backdrops they used really make this movie feel like a dream. The story was wild enough to be interesting but real enough for you to just kinda go with it.

  Another Third Window Films release I'm glad I bought.

  Hitman: Agent 47 2015

  ★★ Watched 24 Mar 2022

  There’s really just nothing special about this movie. It has some ok scenes but the special effects and some of the characters are just so poorly done that it’s difficult to really be invested. The movie also doesn’t seem to understand enough about the Hitman universe to truly use it to its fullest. They tried to sprinkle in some of the calculative nature, and (very little) of the creativity from the games and displayed an interesting take on “Hitman vision”,…

  Singularity 2017

  ★½ Watched 30 Jul 2018

  Where do I start? The overused plot, the terrible acting, the confusing storyline, and the lack of any form of character development, all contribute to this being one of the worst movies I've seen. The low budget is definitely obvious here. I put this on as "something I won't feel bad if I fall asleep during" and didn't fall asleep... though I really wish I had.

  Tampopo 1985

  ★★★★★ Watched 26 Dec 2021

  Man, it’s taking that truck driver an awful long time to deliver my goods. Did he stop to help build a ramen shop or what?
