The 100th Love With You
19 persone hanno trovato utile questa recensione
No matter how many times you go back in time to try to change things if it isn't meant to be that it will never be. Seems you really can't change what is bound to happen. You just have to accept the fact that whatever is meant to be will find its way eventually. Enjoy the moment and make the most put of it, keep those memories and make sure you tell those you love how much you love them.

Alessandra De Rossi and Empoy did a very good job with how they showed the emotions of their characters.
This movie will definitely make you cry, laugh and fall in love.
And Kz's version of Two Less Lonely People In the World was just awesome.
I rarely praise movies or TV series from my country Philippines, this is definitely an exception.
If you want to watch something worth your time from the Philippines, this is the movie you should be watching.

Blade of the Immortal
9 persone hanno trovato utile questa recensione
The over-all execution was really awesome, flawless, for me. The flow of the film from the black and white to the colored one was superb. I am not a big fan of bloody movies but I am glad I watched this. I am also very glad that they stuck to the manga as best as they can.
If there is one this I feel that is lacking, it is the musical scoring. I don't know if it was as intended but I felt like some scenes would have been more effective with a good background music.

Wouldrecommend this drama?
My answer? HELL YEAH. DEFINITELY.
The story line is not perfect by any means but I am very happy with it as it is very close to reality. How the characters react to certain situations make it more realistic. I also like that there are action scenes, not much but enough for me, what made it even nicer is the fact that Takuya Kimura did not get any doubles for any of his scenes (of course I can be wrong).

Second was the CG (computer graphics) used. It gave justice to how I imagined it would be. It may not be the best but it did the job for me. It was not half baked.
For me the characters portrayal was also on point. I was able to watch the anime and I felt that they tried their very best to stick to the soul of the anime. Until now I am astounded how they are able to make Al's character come alive. And the Nina chimera, it was heartbreaking but good. If you weren't touched, I don't know about you. I also liked how the villains are very close to how it was in the anime.
And just to clarify the WIG issue:
The hair is not a wig, it was an unruly hair extension.

I wanted to watch something with Erika Toda and this is what I saw.I thought it’s just something silly, light and I would just laugh through it. Well I did laugh here and there. But, God, I never though I’d be crying for this movie. I though wrong, so wrong.
I liked the part of the stubborn daughter and gangster father, but my favorite was the story of the old couple. Dang, I cannot stop crying when I knew their story. I was so touched!

I liked it. For me, it was not something predictable and it was different.
You definitely should watch it. It may not be for everyone's taste though since the theme was dark.
I liked how the characters were played, very interesting.
I'm happy that I did not waste almost 2 hours of my life by watching this.

The OST was a plus, it was very catchy.
I really hope it is longer! I'm gonna miss the all the staff at Grand Maison Tokyo!

Chokotto Kyoto ni Sundemita

I loved the documentary feel it has, I think it was a great decision. No dramas, no frills.
I love the scenery, it is very picturesque.
I loved that they used "real people" of Kyoto instead of actors to interact with Fumino's character.
My want, rather need, to go to Kyoto just went higher!
Please do watch it!

Also, I felt like the actors are lacking something. A spark perhaps? I don’t feel that they are meant to be paired. It’s like the pairing was forced. No “kilig” factor or romantic excitement coming from them.
So, I’ve been telling you what I don’t like about it but there is actually one thing I like about this. And that is the fact that it is very realistic. The story is good, sad but good, and it’s something that you wouldn’t want to happen to you and your lover. It’s always a ‘so-near-yet-so-far” kind of ordeal. A “we’re-destined-but-we-can-never-be” kind of relationship. It’s very hard.

Tori Girl is a very fun movie to watch.
At first I thought it was a little boring but after the first 15 to 20 minutes, the story starts to build and it gets very funny.
Tao, Shotaro and Mahiro did a very good job with their role. I also am happy to see Elaiza Ikeda in this movie.
The movie is interesting especially the aircraft part of it.

Destiny: Kamakura Monogatari

The story revolves around a couple living in Kamakura. A place where “supernatural” is normal, like dead people walking around, or having kappa’s walk around the area, or even having the God of Misery drop from your ceiling. LOL.The story is unique itself and that is enough to get you to watch it. The story has a mixture comedy, fantasy, romance and mystery to it. It also talks a little about the concept of "destiny" and “forever” in a very subtle and relate-able manner.
I over all liked it.
8/10

This movie was screened in the ‘Un Certain Regard’ section at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival with Mugen no Junin (Out of Competition).Just like where it was screen in Cannes, I too am a very UNCERTAIN with my feelings toward this movie. (PUN intended. LOL.)I don’t know if I like it, hate it or if it’s just OK.
There are some parts of it that I find amusing and nice, some that I do not like at all. I wonder if it was because of the characters, the plot or how the story unfolded or maybe how it was told?

Destined to be Yours

I am a fan of the tandem, they're collectively called ALDUB, and they were supposed to be the leads of this series. But when the female third party was added it felt like she was the lead of the series. Imagine an episode where you do not see the leads interacting at all? Yeah, such happened a lot with this series.
So, am I disappointed as to how something really good turned out to be so bad? Hell yeah, super disappointed, hence the rating.

Love You 10000 Years

I really have a very low, low, like 2.5 (IMDB Rating) low expectation from this movie. But hey, it was actually ok. Not great but ok. It made me laugh every now and again.
I loved that Vic was laughing a lot here and showed his tender side. He's a great actor indeed. The Japanese girl, I have not seen her before. I don't have any other works where I can compare her acting. SO there.
I love the songs they used. I loved that I heard him sing again. Vic is a great singer as well.
It was worth a one time watch or if you really love Vic, you can go ahead and watch it again if you have nothing else to do.
