at first i wasn't into it, but then i got the dvd and started to watch it over and over and began to appreciate it, and it is all Tokyo....
plus Bill Murray is funny. :bonk:
think i watched it 4 times before my last trip to Japan. :hehe:

Hi qilver:

I can't believe I will actually be able to watch it whenever I want. aho is too kind! I have such good memories of seeing it the first time in a NYC movie theatre with my friend from Tokyo. I try to see if I can notice something new or different each time I watch it on TV. Now I will be in a "Lost in Translation" coma! :sweat: :woot: :D Yes it does feel like being in Tokyo!!!!! :thumbsup:

hmmm so i did watch the smiths ... over exagerated show .. with her being the tomb raider in the city this time..

:hadoken:

:shakehead:

Got my hands on Final Fantasy VII : Advent Children...
saw the first few minutes (up to Tifa's fight scene) and WOW!, the CG is really good!

i saw the whole movie two days ago...it's quite an achievement....much better than the first final fantasy film. a great work that i think many would enjoy. highly recommended.

yeah, let me know how that is, Ladder 49. haven't seen it yet.
:bonk:

I saw three movies while gone...

1) Linda Linda Linda; First of, it is not your typical "Putting a band together" teenager movie; On the contrary; It just kicks ass. The casting is perfect, and the performace is definitely top notch. Also, the music is quite good too. Maeda Aki, Bae Donna, Yuu Kashii and Sekine Shiroi put up a splendid performance (no wonder the movie is still running in Japan, after nearly 2 months). I've also bought their CD "We are PARANMAUM" and I must say, considering that all four are actresses and basically have not much musical experience (two exceptions though) they're amazing. One of the most amazing things is, that Maeda Aki was the youngest in the cast, with now 20 years, and Bae Donna the oldest, with 26 (26 and playing a high schooler? She can do it convincingly, just watch it).

I'm hoping for a special edition DVD.

2) Yokai Daisenso; a Miike movie with Kuriyama Chiaki, nuff said. Though, Miike often seemed to have had problems keeping it on track. I think he was too amused over what he was supposed to do. Chiaki's goblin is a highlight though (and a real badass).

3) March L'empreur; Penguins, countless of penguins, nuff said.

I've seen a few japanese movies..but I'm still waiting to watch NANA & Kagen no Tsuki(Last Quarter), & Nobody Knows(that stars Yuuya Yagira)..

I like Moonchild although it's like a few years back..

i wasn't keen on this movie either. i thought 'prizzi's honour' which is similar with jack nicholson & kathleen turner is far superior and funnier.

yeah it was all so over exagerated and artifical in the sense and acting also ... not worth wasting time on ..

well i guess JDORAMA is much better ... ;)

Much hotter.

Eva Longeria, now she is hot. :naughty:

Heck, they're ALL hot! :bonk:

Finally finished watching FF7 Advent children. Graphics is really good but I think that Spirits Within had more details epsecially in the facial expressions. Tha ction scenes were really nice as well.
Tifa is my fav character... hehehe
