Hey JepGambardella, did you take a look at the director of Inuyashiki's filmography? Shinsuke Kato should be a more well-known name. He directed "I Am a Hero", the "Library Wars" films, the films you just reviewed (including "Bleach"), and "All Around Appraiser Q."

I've always disliked Chen Kaige as a director, even his more acclaimed films, and The Promise is one of his worst.

Actually, Sitenoise, I thought you would be most interested in "Wet Woman in the Wind."

I had an awesome week of fun movies, a few of which surprised me. Highly Recommended Operation Red Sea (2018) (Chinese Action) – PLA Navy Marine Corps launch a hostage rescue operation in a city on the Arabian peninsula and undergo a fierce battle with rebellions and terrorism. This movie...

There are some YouTubers who film walkthroughs of Japanese areas. The video below is from a guy who doesn't even talk during the videos, so you basically get raw video and audio. I like watching these videos sometimes, because it feels like I'm walking around in Japan. Some pretty cool stuff...

I'm actually neck deep in Queen Seon-Deok right now. This is a 62-episode monster but it will probably end up being one of my favorite K-dramas ever.

Yeah, I agree on My Ordinary Love Story. It's a good one.

Highly Recommended Ten Nights of Dreams (2006) (Japanese Horror/Drama Anthology) (repeat viewing) – This is an anthology of 10 short films (lasting about 12 minutes each) that span a variety of genres, including horror, drama, and comedy. While there is much ambiguity and subjective...

Highly Recommended Tremble All You Want (2017) (Japanese Romantic Comedy) – A girl in her mid-20s works as an office lady who still romanticizes a school-mate, but has the opportunity to move forward with a man at an after-work get-together. First things first, the lead actress (Mayu Matsuoka)...

Yeah, I have seen "The Tai Chi Master" with Jet Li and I thought it was good. I prefer the "Tai Chi Master" film starring Wu Jing a lot more though.

Highly Recommended This Is Not What I Expected (2017) (Chinese Romantic Comedy) – Romance and cuisine mix when a perpetually dissatisfied hotel executive (Takeshi Kaneshiro) finally encounters the perfect meal, and the chef that made it (Zhou Dongyu). This is a bit silly in a conventional rom...

Highly Recommended The Royal Tailor (2014) (Korean Drama) (repeat viewing) – After decades of service, the royal tailor sees nobility within his grasp . . . until a flashy, creative competitor earns the attention of the queen. Well written and acted, with intriguing royal tensions and a...

Bayside Shakedown: The Series (aka Rhythm and Police) (1997) (Japanese Crime Drama/Comedy Television Series) – A former salesman becomes a detective at the Wangan police station, which is considered an inferior and incompetent sub-section of the police force. He gets paired up with one of the...

Highly Recommended 1987: When the Day Comes (2017) (Korean Thriller/Drama) – In 1987 Korea, under an oppressive military regime, the unlawful interrogation and death of a college student ignite ordinary citizens to fight for the truth and bring about justice. This is a solid dramatic film...

Yep. It should be a good one.

Work has been atrocious lately. This is what I've managed to see during the past few weeks. Highly Recommended Birdshot (2016) (Filipino Drama/Thriller) – A 14-year-old girl wants to explore the land beyond the family’s isolated shack, but her father does not approve. She hunts and kills an...

Good calls on Battle Royale 2, Bad Guy, Desire, and Camel(s). I hated all of those. Here are a few of mine: Rebirth (2007, Japan) - NOT to be confused with the film starring Hiromi Nagasaku from 2011, which was great Virtual Recall (2010, Hong Kong) Hibi Rock (2014, Japan) My Darling FBI...

My Wife Is Having An Affair This Week (aka Listen To Love) (2016) (Korean Romantic Comedy/Drama Television Series) A TV program director (Sun-kyun Lee) suspects that his wife (Ji-hyo Song) is having an affair. If you think this K-drama is going to cop-out with its premise, it does not! The...

Thanks for the recommendation on Birdshot. I just finished it and it's really good!

I saw Birdshot advertised on the internet somewhere a few days ago. It looks cool. I will watch it soon.
