The Silence of the Lambs (1991)
Grotesque
"Silence of the Lambs" is the story of a young FBI trainee Clarice Starling summons to help find one serial killer called "Buffalo Bill." by interviewing another.
I am wanted to see the holler movie in summer, and find this movie in the SNS. Many people write that they recommend this film to watch. Therefore, I lent it from the DVD shop. It is a little different from Japanese hollers. Of course, it is scared me a lot. However, I am scared of the grotesque part. The main cast is very odd. Is he a man or ghost? I cannot understand. This film is very mysterious.
It is good experience for me to watch other countries holler movie. I become a different emotion describing to the time when I watch on Japanese holler movies. However, this movie is also makes me much scared. Too many thrillers, so I enjoy it very much!!

Toy Story 3 (2010)
Excellent
The toy delivered to a day-care center. However, Woody is apart from other toys, and leave with Andy. The toys want to return back to their home.
The film has the laugh. It is not only laugh but also moving. It is the first time I crying to watch animation. I am really sympathized with the sad story about the pink big bear. He is bad toys and like a boss. His gap also be surprised me a lot. I especially enjoy watching the friend ship when the toys carry out the execution what they thinking. It can't watch without crying.
It is fantastic ending. I love the first two stories, and this, Toy Story 3 is also wonderful story. I plan to see this movie again someday.
Babe (1995)
Fantastic Babe
Babe, a baby pig is taken cares by the farmer, Hogget. There are many sheep, and a sheepdog named Fly in the pasture. Babe interests Fly's work, and wants to become a sheep-pig.
Babe is very cute. His voice, appearance, and moving picture are really charming. I always aid Babe, like his mother. Because, he is always interested in the news what happens in his surrounds. However, he sometimes makes small problems, so I become to worry about Babe. For the more, I would like to cheer him in the mind.

(500) Days of Summer (2009)
True love
Beautiful woman named Summer meets Tom in the office. After, they become to date, and Summer changes her mind to believe the true love.
Summer, the woman in this film is selfish, natural beauty and a little odd person. It is difficult to understand what she is thinking. That's why I think she looks odd. On the other hands, her character also looks like mysterious, so it is different from other woman. I think it is her charm. I laugh at many times in this film. This film is drawn refreshingly. Tom always lovesick because of Summer. In my view, Tom's behavior looks like excess. If I fall in love with someone, maybe I am also mind excess about my behavior just like him. Tom's friends always support him. He is a lucky man.
Two of them love is blooming or not? Maybe, some of you concern about it. 500days of lsummer is very beautiful picture. The film is moving and slightly refreshing way of ending. I really recommend you to watch it.
Charlotte's Web (2006)
Beautiful
Wilbur the little pig is taken good care from a girl. However, she has to leave the pig from her home. The pig becomes to live in a mountain hut with other animals a part from the girl.
The movie is very moving story. Animal are described vivid manner. Wilbur is very cute. In Other animals, I like rat and baby spider in this film. I don't remember his name, but the rat in this movie is very tricky. He looks like dirty and he always speak like a perverse mood. However, I cannot hate his character. Because, he working for Wilbur very hard. Of course Charlotte, the spider is done the best for Wilbur. Charlotte is very smart. It is also helpful to learn English vocabulary from her writing for me. In general, pig, spider and rat are not so popular because of their ugly appearance. In this film, they play an active part.
Children should watch this movie. It is help for education. People can learn friendship, life and death, and discrimination. I recommend you to watch it with your children.
17 Again (2009)
Every little thing gonna be all right
A man 30's wants to return when he was seventeen years old. He is met one old clerical staff in his old school, and to time travel to the old days.
This is a story mixed by comedy and romance. The main actor, Zac Efron is very famous in Japan. I watched his movie at the time, in high school music lessons before. This movie is also interesting. If I can time travel to the past time, I also wants to return the days when I was seventeen years old. From this movie, I remember the days I enjoy my high school time very much. If he cannot be returned the past time, he must not be recognized his daughter and son deeply. In the high school time, I am also worried about light cares and great ones like human relations, family problem, and future path. Seventeen is really important time for me. On the other hands, people cannot expect the future exactly, and we cannot returns the past time in reality. Therefore, I want to do my best at all things and don't want to regret later.
This movie is very interesting. All people may be sympathized with the problem which happens to some part of this story. However, it is not including gloomy feelings. The film actually makes people feel refreshed after watching it. I really recommend you to watch this movie.
The Butterfly Effect 3: Revelations (2009)
The Last Choice
One man wants to change his past life because his young sister dies for a big fire in house. The man travels back in the time, and help rescues his sister from the fire. However, that is how it all starts!
It is the third times I watch this series. I'm very surprised from the first because of the killing scene. It is big different from "The Butterfly Effect 1 and 2". It shows us the detail purpose to go back from the begin. In my opinion, it is easy to understand why they should behave to travel in the past. On the other hands, the tale is too simple. Of course, it is very excited for me to expect the unexpected killer. However, the results cheat expectation.
It looks like happy ends. Unfortunately, happiness not comes for everybody, because the main character has to choice the result, and both choice have the risk. Threrefore, he keeps on holding anguish of heart.
In short, it is worth to watch. However my heart is unclear even if I see the results. The last choice for the main character is really interested. However, the other series of "The Butterfly Effect" is more interested for me. I very recommend you to watch from the first series.
Red Riding Hood (2011)
Not just the fairy tale
This is mixing of the fairy tale. The key person changing wolf and make danger. Not eat person, but bite. The main character's sister is bitten, and dies off first of all.
The story is connected many violence. Because of that, I sometimes feel like scare. I remember watch the fable about "Little Red Riding Hood" in the old days. The wolf eats grandmother, and transforms itself into the grandmother. I become the same horrible emotion at that time. I look back on it, and watch it on the YouTube. It is exactly different contents to compare with fable. However, I enjoy this film very much. One of my friends love Amanda, and she recommend me to watch this movie. After watch this, I feel a little bit scare. Because it is perfectly took us the horrible world. Especially, I sympathize with the main character, when she is scared of everyone around her. Who is the real wolf which is called wolf-man in the film? It maybe your friends, family, and somebody who well known of you, and love you a lots! In my opinion, I cannot doubt my family, friends, because I love them. However in this film, the main character, Red Riding Hood should have solving the problem, and rescue villagers from danger.
The only thing I can't agree with this movie is the setting about this story, which says people who bite from the wolf-man will become wolf. I can understand the meaning of the setting, but it is unnaturally and sounds unlikely.
To sum up, I enjoy this movie very much. Amanda is so beautiful and the partner who becomes wolf also looking-good. You will fun to watch this impressive interpretation full of immediacy! It is valuable to watch. People who only watch this movie will be realized the real wolf-man, and why the man kills Red Riding Hood's sister at the first.....
E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982)
Happy End
At night, a little boy finds a strange animal at a shed in his home. He tells it is a monster! The animal exactly looks like alien. He takes care of the monster, and helps it to come back to the home. Then, the monster is called E.T.!
I can remember that E.T. is very famous in Japan several years ago. However, this is the first time I watch this movie. This is very educational story. The little boy tells the alien many things, just like tell a new thing to his own baby. Children in this movie have very kind and pure heart in this movie. For the more, the monster is also has the kind and pure heart. When it behaves something, the children around the monster worry it very much. Because the monster is kept an eye by children, it feels like safe. To compare at the first time the monster is met the people with after pass the time, E.T. undergo a sea change. It completely doesn't afraid of the people.
I think the alien looks like very charming, after he becomes to speak several words.I really envy the last part of this story. Riding bicycle, and flying though the air! From this film, people can learn friendship trough to grow up with E.T.! Everyone will be impressed by the direction, and input by the experience what the film tell.
The Crush (2010)
Love Is Wonderful

This is a really sweet short movie. I can feel full of the love in the movie from the cute little boy. I am sympathized with his acts, trying to be cool in front of the person crush at the moment. He thinks of the teacher any place, any times. However, his pure love is not easy going on. It's attracted me specific when he trying to battle with the teacher's boyfriend. At the moments, I learned his love is extremely serious. Not just a little boy, but he is very stylish man!
I recommend you this short movie especially to male, because I feel it is very pure to love someone like the sweet main character in this movie. It's also very romantic. I think every man should follow his example. It's very wonderful!
Whacked (1998)
A Dangerous Man
Some person is just walking, and the other is taken pictures in New York. They suddenly fell down on the street, so ambulance runs around the big downtown.
This is one of the most amazing short movies I had ever seen. I was very excited from the beginning, because the pictures and sound of the ambulance attracts me a lots. I really excited to expect what will be happened to the next.
The movie's key person works earnest and looks gentle. However, he is a very dangerous man, because he has split personality. There for, it's really unusual for me.
If you are very smart, you can possible realize what's happened to the people in New York. The Hint and key are hidden the whole mystery, so you must be enjoy to expect the fact of this mystery.
Embers (2006)
Virtual World
In a beautiful village, a young woman has been waiting for her husband returning from war. She is worried about her husband, and always haunted by uneasiness.
This is an short film about World War Ⅱ. It occurred between New Zealand and Japan. Most of the scenes surprised me a lot. It is because, I never seen about the war from the other country's side.
In my view, sometimes this film rather grotesque, and difficult to understand the real world and the woman's virtual world.
If you are fine watching vivid scenes, I recommend you watch this film. The war changed even the woman's characters. How cruel war is! I was shocked after I watched the film, but it was very valuable to watch.
Gasman (1997)
Serious Problem
In a Christmas season, father in a family, go out railway with his two children. At there, a woman waits with two children, about the same age as his daughter. The children go a holiday's party with them.
The children of two girls in this story are look like exactly the same without of the character. It is very complex facts for children. I guess the father maybe hides the fact for his wife and the woman might ask a favor hardly to him, playing with the children just one day. The girl wearing on a dress feels jealousy to the girl who treating kind by his father. I know she is also wants to give much love by his father. It is really sad, and I almost crying.
If I were the husband, I won't meet the children together. It will stress for me. Of course, this is his responsibility, but he smokes cigarette often at the film. It might be connected in the title Gasman. He must be felt a big stress.
Parents just hope the children's happiness. The story is real about the adult problem. I don't want children also learn and worry about it. However, I also feel sympathy toward the father's acts. I recommend people to watch the movie, before they are marry. It's valuable time to watch.
Three Days in Kamakura (2012)
Family Love Story
One family David and Keiko, live in Kamakura city. They don't have children, and it makes their relation worse. It is a domestic problem.
This is a movie mix Japan and Western. The music is beautiful and the location is Kamakura, where the place very near to my school. Therefore, I could enjoy it very much! In this story, a meddlesome old lady Miss Yamada makes is big impact for me. It's very real Japanese problem! It is serious, but I laugh at it. Because, David doesn't mention her, so I love his optimistic character. I was especially moved after Half-Western boy into their lives. What a big change Keiko does! She smiles, and even kind to Miss Yamada. I love the family of David and Keiko.
The film shows me what family is! Their troubled relationship during three days with the little boy in Kamakura is wonderful time. I recommend you watch this short film, and thinking what is family.
Paperman (2012)
It's so romantic!
One stylish woman running to come in front of a young man who waiting a train. She catches her paper blown off by wind. Then, the train comes! The man's paper also blown off by the wind! It's beginning of this love story.
This is monochrome film. Its music start from a very beautiful piano's sounding, and the music gradually temp-up. I was attracted by this kind of beautiful background music and the simple pictures.
It's the first time I watch, and I feel more times to watch it. The romantic part in this film is very impressive in my heart. The title of this story, Paperman means "Origami" in Japan. Therefore, I feel attached to this story. It's a Disney story, so it is also a dreamy story.
I love its music, picture, and this story. Especially, the last part is amazing. Origami make miracle. It's very romantic.
The Lunch Date (1989)
Scatter-brain
In a cafe, an old woman orders a salad, and she goes back to the counter to get the fork to eat it. After she comes back to the seat, there is a stranger sitting her seat and eating the salad.
This is a monochrome picture. The whole package and music is beautiful and just fits this film. In my view, it is very surprising that the stranger is a gentle man. What a funny mistake the old woman makes! No one can comprehend what happens without seeing the last part of the story.
I recommend you should watch this film. The main actress does very charming mistakes in this film. Watch it and you will never forget it!
Lifted (2006)
Never give up
At the quiet of midnight, two aliens try to carry a sleeping boy in their UFO. A little alien operates a machine to carry the boy and another big-size alien checks his operating and writes a memo on the paper.
It is an animation style. The music and images are very mysterious. Because the little alien is very poor at operating the machine, he experiences only failure. However, he never gives up. On the other hand, the big alien wants to help in the end and hand over control finally to the little alien. I feel he is not only a gentle teacher but also cool teacher.
Everyone must have some experience of not doing well even if we make an effort to home at the first experience to do something. In such a case, this movie shows me the importance of watching from the margins.
Knick Knack (1989)
A Funny Story
A snowman named Knick cannot come out of a snow dome. He changes ideas one after another to get out and carries it out!
This is a funny animation. I feel pleasant because the music is also interesting, which high-pitched tone of a singing voice. Apart from the chief character, Knick, all the characters are connected to summer. It is difficult for me to hit on ideas the same as Knick. His ideas to come out of the snow dome always surpass my imagination. I want to cheer him because he tries very hard however luck is not turning on his side.
The sad ending of the snowman is very surprising. It is also an impressive part of this animation. Knick Knack does not let the viewer get tired at the very end of the story.
Otousan no tabako (2007)
The Pure Heart
A girl's father has a bad cough and is sick in bed because of his serious illness. However, he can't stop smoking. Therefore, he asks his little daughter to buy cigarettes.
This is a Japanese short movie. Each of the cast plays the role very naturally. Especially, I love the little girl's acting. She is very charming. I can sympathize with the scene, where the girl can't turn her father's down even though she knows that her father is telling her a lie. I believe she never wants father's death because of the cigarette. She will just want to believe her father because she loves her father with pure feelings.
This story shows me that everyone has the pure heart. I recommend this film because it is very moving that only the little girl can change her father and the family becomes happy at the end.
Father and Daughter (2000)
The Earnest Thought
A father and his young daughter come along a river bank by bicycle. Then, the father separates with his daughter, rows a boat alone, and goes away from the bank.
This is an animation with no dialogue. The picture's touch is gentle and suits the tale which appears not only painful but also has beautiful feeling. The music complements the action which used accordion and piano. I was impressed by the scene where the girl is waiting for her father's return, even in the strong wind and heavy rain, the girl watches the direction of the wave. Involving the season, the young girl grew up and became an old woman however she continues being a daughter.
Finally, I think that this animation is not at all a negative work addicted to sadness. Like the father and his daughter in this story, people continue to think a person is a wonderful thing. It can be also felt in the touch with warmth and tenderness of human beings.
Fish Out of Water (2005)
Nothing will change unless you take actions by yourself
One fishing girl sits near the port secretly watching a young office workers commute by rowing the boat to arrive at the port every day. Later, people get into the young man's boat one after another.
What is most special to me is the film has colorful character and never bores the viewer. Especially impressive is a good-looking but also selfish woman, and a noisy obese man wearing a tie with a picture of an elephant. The music has great effect to bring out the character sensitively.
Personally speaking, both actors and actresses act exaggeratedly. Therefore, I feel lack of realism and sympathy with the lead at several times.
Generally, this short movie is well-made. Therefore, I recommend you should watch this movie .The development of the story is not only humorous but also moving. It symbolizes making a fresh start in life. I want to follow the rowing man's acts of courage. You are certain to be moved deeply by the amazing ending.
