Japanese Movies/Discussion/Recommendations

A completely opposite role for Hiroshi-san compared to his arrogant, self-assured Chiaki Shinichi role from Nodame Cantabile, but he was convincing from the get-go... He's becoming one of my favorite male actors along with Abe Hiroshi (name coincidence? :beaten: )

And Miyazaki Aoi? Wow. Didn't know she was the young daughter in Hitachi no Kekkon 'til now, but her performance was terrific, deserved of an award, IMO.

It was hard to not draw some parallels with Nodame, particularly with the exuberant, frumpy, and adorable Shizuru (she even had the short, Nodame 'do), and support characters (Uehara Misa and Koide Keisuke)... But with a more serious and less slapstick tone...

Can't say that I noticed a single flaw in this sweet, wonderful film... It gets a deserved 10/10.

Highly recommended viewing.

I'm glad you enjoyed it, even tho you figured I'd spoiled it for you. It's one of my fav. :victory:

nice...well now that you have access to Fantastic Super Club it should be a good resource going forward. I often use FSC or Fantastic Super Seeders and I rarely encounter quality issues...the torrent I gave you was on another server b/c you weren't a registered member of FSC at the time.

I dunno about that.....they have some pretty fiesty conversations where ppl rip on each other like no tomorrow...but I never go there to chat...I just use it to download torrents and that's it....perhaps ask a question or two.....compared to FSC, Jdorama is like Woodstock....love and happiness.

Anarchy.

Actually, I completely forgot about your comment about the movie... :beaten:

Now let's see if my niece likes it as much as I did... :)

It's might makes right....the Wild West were insulting is best.

for those who have seen Always San Chome no Yuhi, you might be interested in the sequel Always Zoku San Chome no yuhi...i believe all the original cast members will be reprising their roles....he's the official website with a trailer of the film.

can anyone recommend me movies like Dororo/shinobi?
i like to watch these kind of sfx movies.

Downloading Drugstore Girl on Geez's recommendation... It's taking FOREVER on eMule... :sweat: :bleh:

But it's the only place that seems to have it for download. :sweat:

that movie was great. rena tanaka was in it...in fact that was my first time watching her act.....

Seeing that she was in it, I was hesitant, but since Geez (and now you) recommend it... :)

Yeah, I haven't seen her in a thing as of yet, only her J-D Artistes pic, which ain't too flattering, IMO: Her face is featureless.

Like a frypan.

I don't think you do and I don't really give a hoot about her looks unless she gives me nightmares. She was cool in the film, man. You like those quirky films, man...you'll like this one. I think I gave it to Geez, actually.

Yeah, that would be a deal-breaker. :sweat: :hehe:

Drugstore Girl--funny flick with lots of scenes involving lacrosse and dirty old men. Good cast.
