I guess the one on my head doesn't count.

After sitting on my hard drive for about 2 years, I finally saw Ima, Ai ni Yukimasu (2004)....great film! Laudable performances from Yuko Takeuchi and Shido Nakamura, and the child actor who played Yuji as well. Very heartwarming and thought provoking.

So glad you enjoyed the movie...fine performances indeed by all the leads...

The ending left me a bit perplexed, but that was alleviated after I watched the drama...it expands the story so much more that at end I understood fully what happened...
beyond that, I recommend the drama just for the beauty of the cinematography...

Ah yes, the drama. I haven't seen it yet, but given your explanation it seems worth watching. I'll probably hold off a bit in order to change it up a little, but I'll tuck away your recommendation, and watch it in the near future. Thanks.

That would be about two years' time, ne? :beaten:

Haha. :hehe: Could be, I guess! I just would rather wait a bit instead of watching in effect the same story, twice in a row. I want to finish the drama I'm in the midst of watching now in any case.

just finished watching romeo and juliet.. awwww, takizawa and masami are so sweet.. although in the first part , when they first got together, i was like "huh?".. hehehe.. but i really like it..

Saw Mushi-shi (Bugmaster) starring Joe Odagari and Esumi Makiko. It was just average in my book....it pales in comparison to the anime, much in the same way the Death Note movie did vis-a-vis the original source material.

New Japanese movie coming out in April that I imagine will interest a few people here.

Based on the video game of the same name which is about girls in bikinis sword fighting:

A la westerns...

By looking at the poster, this one looks like a chick flick. Too much romance, not enough fighting. :P


How long is the script? 8 pages? :sweat:
