Hachi: A Dog's Tale (2009)
A dog's unconditional and undying love.
I don't normally cry after watching a movie, so I am giving this movie a credit for being the first one to do that to me. I literally cried while watching it and even after I watched it, I couldn't believe myself.
This movie is truly a tearjerker. The musical score is also very good and appropriate at the most important scenes in the movie. This also let me see the movie through Hachiko's eyes - which really invoked more and more emotion and then totally broke my heart. I would recommend this to dog lovers everywhere. With this movie, you are going to appreciate and see how a dog shows unconditional and undying love for his master/friend.
After I watched this, I promised myself that if ever I'll be going to Japan, I'll definitely go to Shibuya station and spend some time beside Hachiko's statue.
My Generation (2010)
One Season is Good
I actually just finished watching the whole 8 episodes that were supposed to be aired as the first season of this series and, surprisingly, I was satisfied and delighted with how the story ended. After reading bad reviews about My Generation, I initially thought it was going to be just a waste of time. But I guess I was wrong and I'm thankful that I gave the show a chance.
It's a pseudo documentary about the lives of 9 high school students 10 years after their graduation. At first, I find the story lines (for each of the characters) rather depressing. They presented what has become of the main characters after 10 years and how they have unfinished businesses with their past or family issues, etc. It's like they all have problems with themselves and with other people - and that's just basically all there is to resolve. But the good thing is, they actually tackled each and every characters' plot in the succeeding episodes (except for Falcon - I think his character wasn't visible and significant at all). And while they show each and every characters' story, they touched on some constructs (life, freedom, patriotism, love, marriage, parenthood, and basically all the realities of life) which is good.
It was in the 4th or 5th episode, in my own opinion, that it has kind of given the audiences a feel or a hint of what's going to happen towards the end that you get excited for how they're going to show it. And it presented a decent ending - it was open ended (especially for Steven, Jackie, and Caroline). The whole season has 8 episodes and I wouldn't want it any other way. It's a series that's only good for just one season since there's not more plot or conflicts to resolve.
Sex and the City 2 (2010)
Just for Good Laughs
I guess I should explain why I rated it as 10. Well, I have seen all of SATC from the series up to the first movie. and this one, for this matter. Well, it was both technical and social flop. But well, it's sex and the city. You should not expect something really that sensible from a movie which was rooted to a series that was, well, more focused about sex and having fun. It actually looked like a real midlife crisis for all the characters. I know all of you would have the same problems or worst if you reached the characters' age. When people get old, they become sensitive and insecure about things. You couldn't blame anyone from being paranoid because of marriage. What more for these women who were used to living as the life of the party and all glamorous and top-rated professionals in their own field, right. Give it a break! It wouldn't hurt to just appreciate a little piece of reality shown in this film. If they're making SATC3, I hope they give Samantha a lifetime partner, too.
