watched Shinobi and rewatched The Parent Trap for the nth time.

Lindsay Lohan was SOOO promising as a child before she totally went haywire...
 
I watched today along with my brother The Smurfs movie that came out last year ( think) it was really well done, and funny. It was clear that those that made it had read the comic multiple times and loved it.
 
I just finished watching High and Low, by the great Akira Kurosawa. It's the fifth movie of his that I've seen, the previous ones being Yojimbo, Rashomon, Seven Samurai and Ran. I also intend to watch Throne of Blood sometime soon.

High and Law isn't really like Kurosawa's other films. It takes place in a modern (well, modern in the 1960s) setting, rather than feudal Japan. The other movies are epic, lofty, or influential in some way; even Rashomon, less than an hour and a half long and filmed on a shoestring budget, popularized the concept of the "Rashomon effect" (where a single event is examined from several sides, which each account differing in its details). High and Low, in contrast, is a fairly plain police procedural about a kidnapping. It's a good movie, and that really shows how strong a director Kurosawa was, but the lack of a... point, for lack of a better term, hurts it. I thought much the same about Yojimbo (remade virtually shot-by-shot in the English A Fistful of Dollars). Kurosawa's at his best either given a shoestring budget and a vision, or allowed to run wild.
 
^ I quite enjoyed High and Low. Was funny to see a train in real life like in the movie:

I just finished MHL Nanoha A's Movie. Besically it was all 2nd season in movie form without anything new, but I enjoyed it. I find really funny how their lesbian relationship progresses as the story progresses.

1 season: Love & hugs, 2 season: hand holdings 3 season: Living under same roof and adopting the girl with the 2 colour eyes :plot:
 
I just went back from a nearby cinema, and it premiered the latest Naruto film, Naruto: Road to Ninja! I really can't believe these are being shown in various places in our country, even though I admit these are just some weeks away to the release of its DVD/BDs in Japan. Oh well, at least we are finally catching up to the global anime trend!

Next month, One Piece Z! :sohappy:
 
I watched Cabin in the Woods on a recommendation. Its not bad, not scary but the background story is a bit interesting..
 
I just watched asura..
I just bought an extended collection of the lord of the ring :love:
might find some time to re-watch it after I finished with all of this dissertation stuff :cry:
 
Just watched last night the Batman Dark Knight animated movie. It was pretty good. I like all the stealthiness parts.
