I will be vacationing in Japan over the next few weeks. See you all when I get back.

I thought "Legend of the Blue Sea" was a decent watch, mostly for the rom com moments. The script was flimsy though.

This movie has some of the most hilarious scenes I've ever seen. I purchased the DVD a few months back but have yet to watch it again. I wonder if it will captivate me like it did when I first saw it back in the late 2000s.

Highly Recommended Hacksaw Ridge (2016) (American/Australian War Drama/Action) – WWII American Army Medic Desmond T. Doss, who served during the Battle of Okinawa, refuses to kill people, and becomes the first man in American history to receive the Medal of Honor without firing a shot. Mel...

Highly Recommended Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons (2013) (Chinese Fantasy Action/Comedy) (repeat viewing) – Two hunters (one mediocre and the other proficient) cross paths while fighting human-demon hybrids. This starts off with a very lengthy, creative, insane sea monster attack...

The Boxer's Omen (1983) is phenomenal. One of the most insane movies ever made.

Just started watching The Legend of the Blue Sea (2016-2017) with Ji-hyun Jun and Min-ho Lee. It's fun so far.

Highly Recommended Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990) (American Horror/Comedy) (repeat viewing) – This creative, witty sequel transports the little monsters into a high-tech skyrise in New York City. There are so many smart little jokes that one might miss without repeat viewings (be sure to...

Highly Recommended Cat Sh*t One (aka Apocalypse Meow) (2010) (Japanese Anime Action Short) (repeat viewing) – The aspect that makes this 22-minute OVA a lot of fun is that it takes a ridiculous premise (bunny rabbits attempting to save two of their own, who have been captured by camels and...

I re-watch Pulse at least twice a year. Kiyoshi's horror aesthetic is very unique. His films just feel different.

Tartan Asia Extreme horror films were the main reason I got into Asian movies. Before that, I only saw Godzilla, Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Jet Li, and Chow Yun Fat. After watching those horror films though, it generated huge interest in all kinds of Asian movies. Once you watch and love a...
