Cyborg She (2008)

The main character of this movie, Jiro, is the guy who plays Mika's second bf in Koizora the movie.
I really like him in Koizora, and I like him too in this movie. (He's in Linda Linda Linda too, but I can't remember him.)

This movie is about a cyborg who comes from the future to save Jiro from disaster.
Overall, it is a good movie although it is not the kind of movie that I would want to watch twice.
I think the time line of this movie is kinda messed up.
Although the director resolves everything and gives a detailed explanation in the end,
but I still think that there are things that are not quite right.

Ayase Haruka makes a very good and cute cyborg.
Her figure and facial expression suit the character well.

While watching this movie, I thought, "So, this is how earthquake like." So scary.
I like the way they portray the future in this movie.
It is full of hope and possibility.
Overall, 8/10.

I took a snapshot of this scene to show you her cyborg body.

BANDAGE (2009)

Some people love it, some people hate it.
To me, I like it more than I hate it.
Everything in this movie is realistic to me.
The scenes are not exaggerated, and the acting are all natural.
Many people complain that the plot is not clear and it keeps skipping to the future w/o telling us what happen.
As for the plot weakness, I agree that I don't see in what way Asako breaks the band apart. 
But, other than that, I think this movie is ok. Overall 7.5/10.

I am not a big fan of Akanishi Jin, and watching this movie does not change my perception about him.
I like the girl who plays Asako.

Personally, I think Asako is the lead actor of this movie. I couldn't really feel Jin in this movie.

I can't wait to watch Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa. 

The preview is awesome.

Malaysia boleh!

Funky Forest: The First Contact. (2005)

This is a bizarre movie. Everything in this movie is surreal. Nothing makes any sense whatsoever.
Definitely one of the weirdest movies that I have ever watched.
However, it is enjoyable to watch something out of ordinary like this.
Overall 5.5/10.

Try to make sense of what's going on in this pic.

No caption can explain this.

The Girl Who Leapt Through Time

1. The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (live-action movie). (2010)

I like it so much. This movie is based on a novel of the same title (if I'm not mistaken).
It's about a girl, Akari Yoshiyama, who leaps through time (by drinking a potion) to meet her mother's friend in 1974.
The main actor and actress are so cute together.
When the girl's memory is erased (so that she don't remember her visit to the past), I cried a bit.
Although the plot is questionable, but it is still a great movie to watch.
Overall 9/10.

Riisa Naka

Falling for a guy in the past.

2. The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (animated movie). (2006)

I watched this award winning movie quite sometimes ago.

Although it has the same title, but this movies' plot is nothing like the novel or the live-action movie.

In fact, it is supposed to be the sequel(?) to the novel.

The story is about a girl, Makoto Konno, who gains the ability to travel through time after she discovered a time leaping device.

The voice actress for Makoto Konno is Riisa Naka, the lead actress in the live-action movie.

Personally, I prefer the live-action movie than the animated movie.

Overall, 6/10.

Death Game Park (2010)

Not bad at all. Seeing all the young actors, I feel so old... haha...
The story is about a group of prisoners who are forced to play a game,
in which, if they fail to complete a certain task, they'll die.
Pretty much like Saw, right. Ternganga-nganga aku tengok.
I am satisfied with the movie; the settings, costumes, props, and choreography are nicely done.
However, the ending is a bit loose and unclear. Guess it is up to the viewers to interpret it.
Overall, 8/10.

Hujan Sakura aka Sakura no Ame aka Sakura Rain

Again, finding a good song really made my day.
In 2009, this song is one of the most popular graduation songs in Japan.
Sakura no Ame by absorb(?).
Too bad the band that sings this song was currently disbanded.

Sakura in Washington DC during the Cherry Blossom Festival. I really wanna see Sakura in Japan =)

Hotaru no Hikari

I watched Hotaru no Hikari back in 2007, and I found it very interesting and funny.
While watching the drama, someone told me, "You are a lot like Ayase Haruka".
I thought, 'No way I am that kawaii'.
I even searched for Ayase Haruka's pictures to see which part of my face that resembles her.

Hotaru no Hikari 2 was released in 2010. I don't have time to watch it yet. So far, the first two episodes that I watched are good. While watching the second season of this drama, it came to my sense what that person meant when she said that I am a lot like Ayase Haruka. It turned out, she was referring to the character that Ayase plays in the drama, Hotaru Amemiya.

So, I am a himono-onna ne. Can't do anything about it.

Koizora The Movie (2007)

This movie is so full of dramas. Can Mika's life be much more dramatic than that? Hahaha.
Anyway, I still love this movie. In fact, this is one of the movies that I didn't skip any part of it.

So many sweet scenes and dialogues that would make one goes "awwww".

Although I don't really like the first half of this movie (yes, I am quite conservative), but I think that is what really happens in our society, isn't it?

Plus, Mika is so lucky to have two sweet guys that love her so much.

Overall, 9/10 from me.

The Little Match Girl

Is it just me, or is this year's winter colder than ever? Ok, maybe it's just me.

Walking back home from class on a windy and snowy night, I remembered a story that I read when I was little, The Little Match Girl.
