Sêrâ-fuku to kikanjû (1981)
Sailor Suit Dream Becomes Nightmar
What sells it is the main characte,r she is wonderful to see on the screen, just looking around being cute, but, Assertive, and just takes the scream.
It's a really nice useful energy to the movie and it reminds me of a children's movie but then something really dark happens and we could grab back to reality.
There's one really impressive long shot in the movie, and it's hard to hate those goofy Yakuza in her group.
The story goes so many different directions and is so interesting but still hard to follow, It is delightful confusing but still entertaining.
Movies biggest problem would say is it's a bit too slow, I did watch that directors extended version but still I wish it was cut down, but still a fun and memorable movie.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)
To Love Is To Struggle
One of the best movies about love I have seen, that I could relate to immensely.
I think about the movie, I think about the color blue sadness, coldness, the winter that just stays in the bones, just want to get the feeling of warmth, It works so well with the cinematography, That is handheld and lighting that feels natural.
It's the best Jim Carrey performances I have seen. The story just get to me a love story about the torment of love, but still why it should be there.
You could say that the movie is theme is the Hedgehog dilemma.
Wonderful imagination and imaginary way to show the relationship from the highest to the lowest, it just so amazingly written movie I would recommend it so well.
Make Hiroin ga Ôsugiru! (2024)
Being With Losers Is Fun
The best thing about the enemy is the main characters dynamic with the blue hair girl, they work well together and are good foils to each other, it is also a very good looking anime.
Nice placing of the camera so the scenes doesn't feel stale, the colours are also very unique to this anime and luckily not too bright, and just lighting on the character is very pretty.
It is a very fun premise and in the first half of the show it is executed so well, but in the later half we get over to slice of life like normal school anime, so it loses a lot of his charm, but the characters are strong enough so I don't quit.
So fun to see the couples that actually got together, and how they feel like spoofs of other anime but they are done so well.
Basically fun start,runs out gas of fast, but it's still entertaining enough to finish, but I hope the second season is gonna do more stuff, because this is just a fine experience.
Gekijouban Jujutsu Kaisen 0 (2021)
Help My Girlfriend Is A Demon
This was the movie that told me that jujutsu kaisen could actually be entertaining all the way through without the feeling that it was like a saw and just kept going up and down.
Story engaging, characters lovable goof balls that are unique, just the theme and The Journey,fights were so entertaining and gorgeously animated
It cannot be understated how important the rule of cool is for the show, if it was just a little more cringe like Demon Slayer than it would not work, but it is cool and it shows me cool stuff, So my brain does not question any of it.
It's a Small Part in a big narrative, It works as a self-contained story and that is a feed for a movie like this.
Silent Hill 3 (2003)
Silent Hill Still The Worst Resort Town
It's a wonderful sequel to Silent Hill 1, Amazing Music and especially the intro music, characters feel mysterious and interesting, Heather is one of the best heroines in horror.
It looks phenomenal still today and you can really feel that Silent Hill team has everything undercontrol and understand what the gameplay is, I think it is the best gameplay in the franchise and it just so will put together.
Silent Hill 3 biggest problem is the The Beginning feels like autopilot, like I'm not even feeling anything, I just know how game works because of 1 and 2, now I'm just doing it without thinking, It's only when i get to construction site that I feel the story gets going.
I really enjoy his personality and especially when you are examining things and her personality gets through like, I don't give a damn about these clothes or I'm not a thief but I may act like one. It just very nice.
I really enjoyed the story this is female horror at its maximum, the feeling of stalking,not having control over your own body, other people wanting to use you, it is the perfect female horror.
This is a perfect sequel to Silent Hill , the story feels so fulfilling I got a tear in my eye.
It is a perfect sequel to Silent Hill 1. It is the perfection of the gameplay, just the right amount of challenge if just the first hour was a bit more entertaining but we cannot all be perfect.
Swiss Army Man (2016)
The Fart Man
What is there to say it's such an Earnest and weird comedy that it lands completely and become a heartfeld story.
The two main actors are putting their all into this performances, that are comedic in poop and fat jokes, but it just lands.
Vocal music just helps a lot with the tone of the movie, It is so light. It is shown beautifully but it's so full of poop and farts, It's the weirdest contrast but it's works.
The craftmanship of garbages so unique and well Thought Out it just adds so much to the experience.
It's so Earnest it's cringe but it is bearable because of its golden heart.
Weird but fun fat jokes and Earnest conversation would recommend.
The Last Emperor (1987)
Emperor In The Golden Cage
It is a beautiful movie with a good soundtrack and just so many extras and people, on the production level it is a masterpiece.
It's such a sad movie about what I can own say is, one of the saddest fate on earth, to be an emperor but name in only.
And look at the Chinese court with all it old traditions that are so old that people just followed them without thinking it is a good story.
There is a bit of boredom in the movie, but it is only in the beginning when the emperor is a child and in small bits here and there, but it's so interesting to see time change for traditional men in horse armor to more Modern 30s clothing.
The biggest curse of the movie is because we are seeing his life that means we have to jump over a lot of stuff, so it's hard to get invested in one place in time.
I'm really impressed that communist China was willing to show themselves in such a grey and sad light.
A man who lived in the most important time in China's history, so now we can see it from his perspective as man in the Golden cage.
I don't know how romanticized this is but it is a lovely movie, the contrast between the Golden past and the grey and sad now is so well done, It is a wonderful movie, That is long but feels like it worth it in the end.
H.A.W.X 2 (2010)
Wii Alternative To Ace Combat
1st of all it's fun to point at the screen with, wii remotes and shoot plane down it never got old, it's such a weird fun way to gameplay.
The graphics are going for simple look colourful art style but it run 60 frames a second so I am not completed it plays wonderfully and it's easy to see what is what.
I understand what the story is ,in Broad Strokes but it feels like and action movie where they have taken all the downtime scene so now we are just left with all the action parts but none of the slow parts.
There is a lot of variety in the game, but not all of the sections are created equally and all of the onrail sections are bad and boring.
The biggest problem is it's too long. There is a reason ace Combat games are short because they just have all the good bits and leave out the boring but this game is so repetitive that it becomes tedias, luckily it is fun to point at the scream so I see no reason not to finish it.
The story is dum action movie but I did enjoy it, the gameplay is ace Combat light but I also like that, It's an interesting oddity on the Wii that I would recommend.
Irezumi (1966)
Woman With The Spider Tattoo
A wonderful short movie with beautiful colors and characters acting like they are in Japanese Play, it works so well.
Female main character really sells the sexy but also dangerous kind of woman, that you can never really tell what she is really thinking.
Does she loves you, does she just use you? What is she really on about, she is a spider even before tattoo.
And the sad male mean character that truly displays what a slipper hero is, an goes way to for in this doom relationship.
It feels like watching and old Japanese tale that has been showed in the theater many many times.
It has a good length, but I think the sand of time made it so I didn't enjoy the movie as much if if I watched it when it came out. It's the sad fate of movies that have been built on so much.
Le monde du silence (1956)
Animals were harmed in the making of this film
I can totally understand that this was out of this world, when it came out in the 50s, if you didn't know anything about the ocean and saw this your mind would have been blown.
But most of the movie is full of men in Speedos, which they look very good in, and animals getting hurt/kill, the Scene with the Whale Baby, the Dynamite and the shark that get pull up of the water by breathing holes, then Crush with hammers or an axe I couldn't see Which.
It is a Marvel to look at today because you could not see any of this to day, and it's taking in such a classy and French way that it's funny to see, it's so per se about the bad stuff happening.
The underwater shot with the Beautiful orchestra music and just the feeling of it all, but then on the other hand they extreme cruelty to the fish, it is such a weird combination.
It was an interesting look to them past, of the insanity of marine people in the 50s and would recommend seeing just for that.
Joker: Folie à Deux (2024)
Please, I Want Out Of Court
I will not sorffen my words. I had a miserable time at the theater and felt like, I wanted to leave the entire movie. I didn't find the story interesting, the character interesting, the plot interesting, and the musicals feel flat on it face because there were too Meny songs.
I just didn't know what the movie was going for, and when I left the movie theater I hated what the movie was going for, I can think about it on a higher level that maybe it is an interesting idea for movie, but it was made in a way that sucked all the enjoyment out of the experience .
The characters are so annoying and irritating to watch , cringe not even alcohol would be able to save it because it is no funny bad experience, it is so serious.
I don't think the actors did a bad job. I just think it was a horrible story so even the best performance it wouldn't could save it.
I don't know who this movie is for, I don't know what the director was going for, but I know that this was a miserable experience.
Doragonzu kuraun (2013)
Dungeons & Dragons, Boobs And Ass
There is a lot more to the game, but we will say that the artwork from Vanillaware, is one of the biggest reason to play it. It looks gorgeous the different monster designs are so creative and beautiful, just cool.
It is amazing fun to play with friends, even if it takes a bit too long because there's only one that can be in the inventory screen at a time. It is still one of the best game to play couch co-op with.
The story is the most generic stuff you can imagine but the artwork helps so it does feel refreshing even though it's so played out.
Each character is so fun to play as and different. Their different silhouettes makes it very easy to find them in the chaos on screen.
And if you are a mad man, you can try to complete it, for me and my friend seeing the credits was enough, but god damn if you actually wants to fully complete the game you're gonna have a journey.
Unique, fun, amazing sexy character design and muscle dudes, so fun co-op game to play.
Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers (1997)
Two Girlfriends In The Packets Of One
What an amazing game this is the first Shin Megami Tensei, I have played, it is a great introduction.
The funny dialogue with the Demons, the magic type mechanics that makes it so you can't make a super team, at least until you get a lot of magic, It's just a really well designed system.
Because of the dungeons take place in real world environments, They can't get too weird and out of control, So they actually easy to get around which I think is a huge plus, It's only in the later half where Reality brakes where it begins to get complicated.
But luckily the 3DS button scream is used for a map so it's really hard to get lost.
But the game has such a nice style and atmosphere the cyberpunk vision from the 90s preserved now in the 3DS. Cool clothing and character designs is top notch.
The story is fun it takes interesting turns, I really love the main characters and especially nemissa who is my favorite.
Took me 27 hours to complete and I did it over a few weeks because, it's perfect game to play in the evening. Just two or three hours and then going to bed it is wonderful for that, and when you get to the later half of the game.,You just can't let go of your 3DS
fun lovable characters and awesome first Shin Megami Tensei. Awesome cyberpunk Adventure would recommend.
Blazing Saddles (1974)
Where are the white women at?
It's rare I see a comedy that has the right amount of dark jokes edgy jokes and the n word jokes , but it doesn't feel hateful, it feels like it is a funny celebration where we point finger a stupidity from the past and have a laugh.
The jokes just kept on landing for me, and I had one hell of a time, when you know that director background, it feels even more fun because of how many jokes there are at expenses ,at people that take themselves way too serious.
Especially how many jokes there are at the 40s and 50s westerns. It's just really well done and the racism is really goodly handled.
It has the perfect length for comedy, it doesn't feel too old, that jokes just keep on landing, I would absolutely recommend it.
Castlevania: Akatsuki no menuetto (2003)
Night Has Ended, Nu Beginning A New Dawn
Night Has Ended, Nu Beginning New Dawn
What an amazing Castlevania game, it has the right amount of new abilities weapons, and a story that feels so nice and fulfilling.
We have so many different weapons and they feel unique they have different models and different length and length for animations, So it actually is up to what you like best and what you personally like ,instead of just what is the biggest numbers.
The castle is so nice to explore, there isn't any time where I was stuck in the Castle. Teleporter room work you can go directly to the teleporter you want instead of having to skip around like in symphony of the Night.
I just felt so happy, like I was just in the flow while exploring and getting new abilities.
And the ability to get the enemies Souls and get different attacks and different forms and bonuses, it is one of the best ideas for a metroidvania game. I've ever seen and it's just wonderful.
It looks amazing on the Gameboy Advance. They really know how to press every bit out of it, and the music sounds so nice, some memorable Toons here and there.
The story Works, the castle is fun to explore, and the different weapons makes it so fun to experiments, the different Souls you get each time you play, can force you to play different. It's just one of the best metrovania game ever created.
Repo Man (1984)
Another Day For Repo Man
A movie with so much Punk Energy, we have the music we have the story, that feels like it's just going on every little tangent, and it so punk chaotic energy, the main character that is surrounded by adults who want to form him into something else.
The story is just such fun, it has so fast-paced energy and it's hard to see where it's going, it is chaotic but in the best kind of way. The last 15 minutes of the movies are jar dropping in how fast it is.
The movie really talked to me in that youthful way, where you don't know what you will do, but you just have so much anger and don't know where to go, it just a relatable vibe to it ,and I really like the atmosphere to the little desert town.
The characters are so fun, it full of character actors and they know how to make some really memorable, over a top character's it is so nice.
I will just say it has the perfect length one hour and 30 minutes. I never got bored and the last half hour is just so fun. I would absolute recommend it.
Twelve Monkeys (1995)
Tightest Terry gilliams movie
The movie is wonderfully tight time travel movie, that doesn't leave any open ends and it has wonderful memorable and crazy characters.
The actors are amazing, They are selling their performances in a believable crazy way, and the desperation in Bruce Willis characters is wonderful.
The movies plot I have not seen anywhere else. It doesn't follow normal movie convention, It is a journey that live me speechless in the ending.
Terry gilliams trying to make a normal movie, and he did a really good job even if he couldn't stop from putting some of his normal craziness in it, but it's just a nice taster in this one.
It has wonderful sets and the story takes many turns into places. You could not have imagining, all the movies it is a holy unique experience.
It is the best and tightest movie, he has made it, lacked some of the wonderful craziness and imagination, There are in his other movies, but on the paper it is his best movie.
Terminator: Resistance (2019)
Judgement Day in budget game form
This game feels like a B movie from the 80s, It has a lot of charm. You can really feel how the people behind it working with the lower budget and just having fun with it.
Feels like a jungle mass of other games mechanics and put together with the Terminator skin over it. I just think shooting robots is not satisfying, that is the biggest problem with the game.
The terminator's feel dangerous, they are powerful they have big health bars and they can kill you in a second, but I get really tired of the health pack mechanic and if you don't purchase ammo all the time you're gonna run out soon.
It's not a bad game. It's not a good game. It's in the middle like a lot of B movies with charm. I can totally see you pull through the lower parts if you like the Terminator franchise, but I don't really care about it, so I just got an ok game out of it.
King of New York (1990)
king of boredom
My biggest problem with the movie is it just feels like stuff is happening, and the characters are doing stuff, but it's hard to figure out Why or why any of this is happening.
Performance are kind of plate, I wish they were more over the top and fun. I just wish all in all this movie was more fun.
Movie looks good It has a really good Dark Lighting and color lighting, but it just doesn't help when it's hard to give a damn about anything that is happening on screen.
The movie has so many unnecessary long take, I know it's atmospheric, but I need something to look at other than bricks and find dining.
The movies screams for an electronic soundtrack of maybe something with way more power to it. Music now it just too nice sounding.
The movie takes itself way to a serious and doesn't have fun.
Breakdown (2004)
Nanco's Attempt At First Person Game
This game I have looked at for so long and wanted to play it because it looks so cool like the original tekken games, and the story that feels like it at Japanese Western action movie, just looked so fun.
But when you get the controller you realized you are in animation hell, you are here gonna look at all the animations, every move is animation dependent picking of a snack bar take so many button presses, because of the animation it just feels like everything is prolonged so much.
And the game feels floaty and clongy at the same time, so it's hard to really get into the flow, just trying to shoot a person feel so weird because of the look on, it really is fighting game studio trying to do first person combat.
I wanted to enjoy it it has so many qualities that I think would be awesome, to play like an awesome Japanese B Movie, sadly the gameplay takes all the enjoyment out of it, I think it is interesting as historical object, but as a playing object is bed.
Zero: Shisei no Koe (2005)
Survivor Guilt And Ghost
Survivor guilt and ghost
It is my favorite game in the franchise, it's also the one with the most Flaws, and one that I have the hardest time pulling through, but the story just hits like a bag of hammers on my face every time.
I was not a fan of the combat in the second game, but now we have returned to the first game and it is so fun blasting ghost away and trying to get fatal frame and still being able to get damaged because the focus bar has returned.
I really like the ghost mansion , because of the dreams we can have segments for the two first game and it still makes sense, but it has the problem that so many times, where I didn't know what I was supposed to do or where the next objective was so it is the worst in the franchise to give you a feeling of where to go.
But the reason it's my favorite is the story, that hits on the feeling of being lift behind, the feeling of survivor guilt, you can almost see the game as a metaphor for depression and just wasting a way in beds.
And the characters actually feel human for the first time and we see act in a normal way to the horrible stuff that is happening and that despair. It is one of the only game in the franchise where I actually feels like the characters are human beings.
The game has too many times where you're looking for items for a fourth time in the mansion , you just want to quit but the story is wonderful, and the game is the longest in the franchise sadly, I would have preferred it to be shorter, but I still love it.
It's hits on the feeling of survivor guilt like no other game I have seen, I really love it.
Poketto monsutâ Buririanto daiyamondo (2021)
Little effort remake
Just a small improvement remake, you don't need specific Pokemon to learn HM anymore and it's now party experience.
Which I will say makes it much easier for nuzlocke and for just fun challenge, because they are so much XP and so many Pokemons to catch in Underground.
The Pokémon game is fine. I think generation legs a gimmick, something interesting beside the being so many hm moves, There is not much to it, but at least there are many double battles.
The music is fine, many of the pokemon's that were created in this Generations have a cool design to them, but there is just not much to it If you're a person like me who likes to defeat defeat the Elite 4 and then call it done.
As We all know, as long as you play with friendsd Then they is no bad Pokemon game.
Ging chaat goo si III: Chiu kup ging chaat (1992)
undercover in China with Jackie Chan
After the horrible boring police Story 2 movie, we are now in fun town with Jackie Chan and he remembers how to amazing stunts again, and the annoying girlfriends is actually used well in this one.
The change in scenery is so refreshing and the new story we get is just fun, we get to see Jackie Chan act in many funny ways with the Chinese characters, And the female partner works really well with him and is also doing fun stunts.
The action works well, It's hard not to smile when it happens and it is intense in some scene because the undercover and comedy, is just the right amount on both ends.
They are fun shooting scenes that remind me of Predator, it has a lot of stunts, the movie just has the right length for this adventure it doesn't feel too long at all.
The villains are just fun to watch and over that top., and work so well with Jackie Chan as a character.
The best balance in trilogy, the first one has the best stunts, but this one has the best Story, length, characters, and stunts are good.
Would absolutely recommend.
Castlevania: Byakuya no Koncheruto (2002)
Justs Belmont the fastest thing alive
What makes this game stand out is the speed, Justs Belmont ability to dash is out of this world you can get through castle at such high speed which makes it still unique and fun today in the castlevania franchise.
Excellent on the GBA system and even if I think it takes a bit too long for the teleport rooms to appear. I think that map gimmick is a fun one, with the normal and dark version.
It's just a willy fun game I had a smile on my face all the way through, the map and music is just well done and I only had to look at a walk through two times to find two parts of Dracula.
All the magic spills feel not needed, once you get a combo the feels right, There's no reason to shift, and I just wish we have more weapons than the whip.
It has a good difficulty I think that it has some of the biggest fun, jumping in and out of enemy attacks in the franchise because of the dash button, it just works really well I would recommend.
SSSS.Gridman (2018)
Girl in her Own Little World
I am not a big mecha fan, but this show was touched a little part of my brain That is still a child, wants to see robots fight monsters, and I had a wonderful time seeing it.
Fun fighting, a good soundtrack for big monster fights, and a storyline that goes interesting places, and a girl who needs to clean her room.
The characters work well together has a good dynamic and weirdo character works really way good as contrast.
I really enjoy the story, in the first half It feels like you're watching at normal mecha with some weird ideas, and then in the later half it becomes an Intervention for a person soul.
. It's a show about fighting big monster, but still is about having to live and not running from reality, it is a show with a message that I think is awesome and it's one of the reasons, I have this show in such high regard. An anime show with a good ending is worth recommending in itself.
