Super size me (2004)

A documentary film to prove the bad effect that fast food may occur to your health through an experiment of just eating Mc Donald's for every meal for 30 days... how scary! Very impressed by his braveness. The experiment seemed actually extreme but I could realize again how bad it is to eat junk which I do feel like badly few times a year...
★★★★☆

Norbit (2007) ～マイビッグファットワイフ

How amazing Eddie Murphy plays 3 totally different roles!
★★☆☆☆

Balls of Fury (2007) ～燃えよ！ピンポン

Not my type of film.. Starring Maggie Q; pretty!
★☆☆☆☆

School of Rock (2003)

Comedy starring Jack Black. Not too cuty like many school movies. The description at the end by the director and Jack Black was very useful in terms of listening (because you've already seen the film once you might have memorized some lines in your brain).

スラングを除けば早すぎず聞き取りやすい。子供の英語も新鮮かも？！本編の後に見たJack Blackと監督によるDVD解説 はいい！本編を復習することになり、しかも、台詞と違いスラングも少ないので、非常に判りやすい。

Ladies in Lavender ～ラベンダーの咲く庭で

Love doesn't have anything to do with age. You never know when sparks fly...

Godfather Part II & III

I'm ashamed to tell that I haven't seen Part I yet. However Part II was perfectly well done to imagine the message of the film. The dilemma of the Godafather might be applied to general Japanese fathers but the bond of Italian families seems to be even tight compared to Japanese families nowadays.

As for Part III it is said that Sophia Coppola has won the Golden Raspberry Award for her play; pity!

Here is the story for Part II and Part III (if you haven't see the film yet, see the film first).

20世紀少年～20th Century Boy

I don't never see Japanese films though.

As I woke up at 5:30am this morning, I decided to watch this movie while waiting for the sunrise. I basically don't have a feeling for films which are far too imaginative or unrealistic, nor 'to be continued' films. However I tried to forget about my preconception this time.
Although I could read from between the lines some messages towards today's society I still felt that forever-romantic-men would prefere this kind of films, not women who are realistic ...


たまには日本の映画も。

今朝は5:30amに目が覚めてしまったので、家族が借りてきたDVDを見てみることに。
基本的に、「続きもの」とか「現実離れしたもの」は気が進まない方だが、先入観を捨てて見てみた。ところどころに現代社会へのメッセージが読み取れるが、やはり「現実離れ」への先入観は拭いきれなかった、、、永久にロマンティックである男性向き、というのも、先入観だろうか。

Everyone Says I Love You

Film by Woody Allen ('Scoop').
Cast: Woody Allen, Drew Barrymore ('Charlie's Angel')

MAMMA MIA! (2009)

Very sweet film! I was moved by the bond between mother and daughter.

Harry & Tonto (1974)

The ending drove me home to think about getting old, experiencing most of his life events, adieu and making a fresh start. Who is your Tonto?

Oliver!

A filmization of a musical Oliver Twist by Dickens. Even the miserable people seemed cheerful in this film.

La Nuit Americaine (1974)

The story unfolds around the film location. Got a fresh reminder that a film is a product of team work and the glow of postcreative consummation is as priceless as the director can stand all the hard work accompanied with all the excess managements with his crew.
