Posted by husky51 on 02.18.2024, 01:05 PM: Watched the Live-action "Blueback" last night... Particularly liked it for the snorkeling scenes (which I've done a lot of, over my younger years). Basically an eco story, set in Australia, with a Mother and her daughter... |
Posted by husky51 on 02.19.2024, 03:10 AM: Was flipping channels and found the 2020 version of "Doolittle". Not the famed American aviator, Jimmie Doolittle, but the animal talking Dr. Doolittle... lol |
Posted by arren18 on 02.23.2024, 05:44 PM: The local Japanese consulate and my university Japanese department put on a few films at this time every year. I saw one of them yesterday, a documentary about sumo. It mainly followed two high-ranking rikishi as they dealt with injuries and prepared for big tournaments. It was pretty interesting stuff, and fun to be reminded of what the atmosphere at the tournaments is like. I don't know how widely available it is, but it's called Sumodo if anybody wants to try and watch it!

Posted by husky51 on 02.27.2024, 02:08 AM: Wasn't a movie I watched today, but a four-part science (?) possibility of life on otherf planets... Interesting suppositions...
|
Posted by arren18 on 02.27.2024, 03:37 PM: I saw Anatomy of a Fall last night. Very tense and intriguing, with some great performances.
|
Posted by arren18 on 03.08.2024, 09:56 AM: The other night I saw Sabakan in the Japan Foundation touring film festival (unrelated to the films shown at the university!) A very sweet and often pretty funny film about two kids in Nagasaki prefecture in the 80s.

Posted by arren18 on 03.28.2024, 04:50 AM: I saw one more Japanese film last night, called Undercurrent. I liked it, often a lot, some parts a bit less, but I think I appreciate what the filmmaker was trying to do. It was definitely directed and shot very nicely.
|
Posted by arren18 on 04.01.2024, 07:02 AM: Went to see Dune Part 2 the other day. I'd say I enjoyed it even more than the first one, because a lot of that interesting setup came to a head this time. At the same time, it's very clear that it needs one last film to wrap up this story.

Posted by husky51 on 04.12.2024, 08:37 PM: Watched the movie "Suzume" (2023) esrly this morning and although (to me at least) rather convoluted and a bit hard to follow, especially when there was a lot of conversation in Japanese that did not seem to be subtitledm while most of it was...
|
Posted by arren18 on 04.14.2024, 08:14 PM: Oh yeah, there's at least one song from Kiki's Delivery Service in it! It's in the scene where the guy plays "oldies" on the car radio.
