    Permanent Vacation (1980) It's alright for a debut film. 6/10 Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai (1999) Pretty cool. Loved the mix of black, japanese and italian culture, it's a bizarre film yet it works so well. It's very reminiscent of Le Samourai but it also feels very unique. Chill...

    Information Asian Movie Posters

    I just came across this poster and thought it looked very interesting. C'mon, it's something that we don't see everyday. A memorable scene from another movie in their own poster. I doubt this was the main poster, at least imdb uses different one, but it's still funny. Well I haven't seen the...

    Night on Earth (1991) 5 interesting stories with wonderful characters and great dialogue. I'm really enjoying Jarmush's humour. 8/10 Dead Man (1995) Psychedelic western. Very unique film. 8/10 I haven't watched Gimme Danger yet as I'm watching JJ's films in their order of release dates.

    Army of Shadows (1969) An account of underground resistance fighters in Nazi-occupied France. This film is all about the loyalty and fear of getting caught within the group, I understand that was the main focus, but we never see the resistance members doing anything besides trying to escape the...

    Review Doramas

    I liked Nodame Cantabile too. It has the best love story in dramas. I watched the anime later, but I enjoyed it a lot as well. It's one of my favourite animes. I also loved: Nobuta wo Produce It has a great friendship story and memorable characters. I keep a lot of good memories from this...

    Le Samouraï (1967) The main character is cool as fuck, I was fascinated from the moment I saw him. It's impressive how his emotionless expression, blank eyes and his silence can tell so much about the character. Delon's performance is amazing. Also this film looks gorgeous. 9/10 Howard the...

    Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016) Very disappointing, the plot is so weak. Basically it's about a wizard who tries to find his creatures while a dark wizard looks for some kind of power in abandoned children. We don't know anything about the main character so it's very hard to care...

    I saw it around 5 years ago, I didn't like it that much but it's been too long. But after warming up to Malick's style, I feel like I'm going to watch it for the first time. Thanks! Goodfellas (1990) - 3rd viewing It still holds up, it's so much fun. The characters are very amusing and the...

    Moana (2016) It was okay. The animation is gorgeous (especially the water) and it had 2 nice songs, "You're Welcome" (sung by Dwayne Johnson) and "How Far I'll Go ", which got an oscar nomination for best song. There isn't much else in this film, the story is so simple but it's what I expected...

    2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) - 3rd viewing More than a story, this film actually made me feel like I went into space. The visual effects are mind-blowing, this film is a visual beauty even 50 years later. It also gave me a perfect feel of isolation, I was so terrified by HAL's actions. It's a...

    The Thing (1982) - 3rd viewing Great atmosphere. The fact that the alien is able to take the form of anything it comes in contact with is what make this film so great. You can feel all the fear and paranoia going on inside the characters' minds, it left me thinking who I could really trust. But...

    After the Storm (2016) Pretty much what I expected from Hirokazu Koreeda. His characters always feel very human. I didn't like it as much as some of his previous works though. 7/10 Mulholland Dr. (2001) - 2nd viewing Fantastic experience. Made me feel like a detective trying to put all the...

    The Thing from Another World (1951) It's a fun film, there's enough tension and mystery here, but the alien looked and acted like a wwe wrestler instead of something that isn't from our world. There are only about 2 or 3 encounters with the alien but those moments are good. John Carpenter's...
