Virtuality (2009 TV Movie)

Great with flaws

[6/10 · 4 July 2009]

This TV movie or plot if it ever continues has a special touch to it that makes it really enjoyable and i have to say i really got stuck with it after watching a while.

Even though it may become an enjoyable series it still has it's flaws I'm afraid, this whole reality show thing they're trying to put in does not make any sense to me, kind of lowers the quality etc, and then we have the "The whole world is going to end" thing, we've all seen it to many times and it does not necessarily make a show more exciting, could have the opposite effect in fact.

If this actually continues as a series i'd for one want to see some changes for the better, at least i would hope that they could just remove this reality show thing because it makes me think of all the stupid reality shows out there which makes me want to puke a 100 times over, i think that reality shows should stick to reality shows, the same with fiction shows and not trying to put these together because the outcome would be obvious.

Anyhow, overall it was pretty decent, the sci-fi feeling about it made it to be worth watching, the ending here did its part and i hope for a following series

Only Yesterday (1991)

Its just Amazing...

[9/10 · 2 March 2008]

I recommend this movie of all my heart

Its really a well made and great movie about a 27 year old woman who looks back at her childhood while trying to figure out what to do with her life in the future.

Its an amazing movie but different from many other movies of its kind, the movie takes you back and forth from a 27 year old woman to her self as a 10 year old child. The part's in the movie where we see her as a child are all strong, sad or happy memories but also mistakes and accomplishments she made and regret.

My personal opinion would be that its a flawless movie but it leaves some lose ends in her 10 year old childhood part of the movie, where we have no choice but to guess what happened for her to become what she now is as a 27 year old woman. But maybe that was one of the points of the movie that you was not supposed to know what happened between when she was 10 years and 27 years old. To me its feels like something was missing there and it wouldn't have hurt to have taken some of that time in the movie as well, it would have felt more complete to me.

Anyways my last word will be There is nothing bad or wrong in the movie it just is...

Piano no mori (2007)

An Inspiring and warm movie

[9/10 · 25 February 2008]

A fantastic movie about piano playing and friendship.

Don't get it wrong thinking you won't like it because your not interested in pianos cause i ain't and i still loved it. Mainly its about 2 boys one rich from the the capital Tokyo and one poor from what we could call the city slums of a smaller town, they become very good friends and find out that they both love the same thing "to play the piano" and they're both trying really hard to become better before a big competition which selects the best pianist in all of Japan

Can't really explain it but there is something in this movie that you don't see much in movies these days something different, slightly mystic fantasy about it may be a way to put it. And then we have the Friendship and warmth which the movie is based on and if you put it together well See it and you'll know what i mean.

Paprika (2006)

A Fantastic and Magnificent Movie

[9/10 · 4 February 2008]

I found this movie to be a lot better than i first thought it would be and the animation was so well done, and then the story just perfect tho very different and a little odd but still so good.

But the first thing that caught me was the soundtrack, i fell in love with it from the start.

It isn't really a movie for kids a little more adult because of the little complicated story and a few sexual scenes

To not spoil anything i will only say: its a kinda fantasy story about a woman who goes in to other peoples dreams and help them out with all kinds of problems but something happens and this woman called "paprika" and a few who she works with tries to find out whats really going on with the world
