The Town

I did not know Ben Affleck was the director.

All I knew before I watched this movie is that this movie is about bank job.

Well, I thought of knew Ben Affleck was the main main character, but I wasn't even sure lol

So, I had no idea what this movie was about.

I kind of expected action movies, but this movie did not meet may expectation at all, which is good.

There are some car actions, which can be seen as actions, but there are a lot of emotional descriptions.

I was very impressed how well the atmosphere was created.

Especially, camera movements and flaming have important roles.

Hand-held camera movement crates the intense situation and represents nervousness of the characters.

Long shot and close up are obviously used to express the characters' emotions, which also shows us physiological process of them, I think.

When we see the close-up of the characters' faces, it tells us what they are thinking though they do not say what they are thinking really.

I really loved the mood of this movie!!

It was amazingly realistic!

The atmosphere of each scene tells us more about the relationships of the characters and their thoughts.

I can watch this movie over and over again because this is so well done!

Inception was the best one I'd watched this year, but I like The Town better than Inception!

If you haven't watched this movie, I strongly recommend to watch it!

This movie have be on your list of must-watch!

Resident Evil: Afterlife

Well, my impression of after watching this movies was " This is it?" lol
The ending kind of makes sense, but it's not really the all audience expected, I think.
It is quite short movie. Its got only 90 minuets, but there are many slow-motions, which means that the amount of time that actually relates to the story is shorter than 90 minuets.
I am sure that I am not the only one who felt that the story itself is extremely brief.
As I said, short amount of time, and lots of slow-motion made me feel even "nothing".
Of course, there are still many things happening, which makes some excitement.
But to be honest, I think Kick Ass was way more exciting lol
And 3D did not work well.
It was very strange to see actions in 3D.
It might have added some sort of excitement such as splashing blood in front of your eyes; however, I personally think 3D is not completed yet.
I don't think it's worth of watching it with 3D next couple years because no one has really figured out the advantage of 3D yet.
Resident Evil is even worse than Avatar(I think Avatar sucks! There is nothing new. Everything in the movie is predictable.) because it does not have any stories that follows previous series.
Resident Evil is getting worse and worse as they make next one.
I seriously think they should have stopped making it after they made second one lol
Anyway, I do not recommend you to watch this movie in the theatre.
You can watch it once they are on DVD.
Don't waste your money and time like I did today lol

The Last Seven

It was one of the movies that you do not know what is going on until you see the end.
Well, you get some hints to guess what is going on, of course.
But I did not understand whole thing till I finished watching lol
The characters in the movie don't know what is going on; you share the feeling with them in some sense.
Long take, long shots, and music increase the sense of sharing, I think.
You feel you participate the events that take place on the screen; however, you also witness what is going on on the screen.
It sounds a bit confusing, isn't it? lol

That's how tricky the editing is in the movie.
I mean you share the feeling with the characters, but you don't share visually with them, so you can guess what is going on next better than them.
You share the memories of them since you see the flashbacks, which I felt kind of classic way to use flashbacks.
I felt I was watching something really spiritual movie, but it was in some sense very realistic.
Well, it's still spiritual, but everything is very confusing and quite ambiguous in terms of "real".
I know you have no idea what the hell I am talking about if you haven't watch this movie, yet it kind of makes scene if you have, I believe.

Repo Man

One of my friends recomended this movie.

I had no idea what this movie was about when I started watching.

Then I figured out this movies is messed up lol

Well, in a good scene, of course.

I liked how the music is used in the movie.

Music sounds always opposited to what I see, which gave an impression that what is going on in the movie is unreal.

It is unreal, of course, but it has influence that everything taked place in the movie is wrong too.

Since the world in the movie and the world we live in is different, but there is a possibility that the future can be like movie because I think artiicial organ would be very demanding in the future.

Anyway, I enjoyed movie a lot.

I enjoyed some comic scenes.

They remind me Old Boy, which is one of my favorite movies.

I bet you enjoy this movie if you don't mind watching a bit of blood splashing lol

The Expendables

This is typical Stallone movie, I would say.

This movie contains lots of actions, explosions, and fighting.

And of course, massive number of killing lol

That is why I say this is typical Stallone moive.

I bet he puts everything he thinks cool, which I think is one important element of Hollywood movie today.

But I feel Stallone has learned quite a lot about movie.

I felt that the editing and music increased the excitement of the movie, so I liked this movie most in his movies.

Besides, big action stars are in this movie, which means more actions!

But I think it would have been better if there are side stories of each characters since they are big names.

I was kind of disappointed how Jet Li is treated.

I still enjoyed his amazing kung-fu skills!

If you love the dynamic action movie, I guarantee you like this movie!

But as I said, there are lots of killing.

So, don't watch it with your girlfriend lol

Go to watch with your buddies!

It would be fun!

Kick-Ass

First of all, I loved this movie title!

Who came up with the title called Kick-Ass?!

It is so cool!

Since I heard this title, I have always wanted to watched this movie until today, but I had never had a chance to watch it.

So, I was pretty glad that I have seen this super cool movie!

This is the movie about super hero, but it is totally different from the super hero movies I have ever wated.

This movie is so realistic at some point, but it is so unrealistic at some point, which I thought that includes both realistic aspect and unrealistic aspect that is usually we expect in super hero movies.

I loved the balance of it.

It is not the super hero movie kids love, I think it is the super hero movie who always wanted to be one of the super heroes just because the main character is an ordinarly kid who wants to be a hero.

Of course, there are many action scenes that impresses you.

And there is romance super hero movies always have, yet these do not bother at all.

Am I the only one who is always annoyed by unncessary actions that is impossible for me to try or romatics that I wish happened to me some time in my life, but never happen?

Well, maybe, but I felt so ass kicked when I watched this movie because a girl is doing all actions.

I think there is a stant, but it was pretty amazing.

At least, amazing enough for me.

I also liked how romantic happens.

You will see what I mean if you watched, I guess.

Anyway, I totally loved this movie and think this is a kick ass movie!

Inception

This is my first post for this blog.

And I believe this movie is good to start off my blog.

I have already watched this movie twice.

Yes, I liked this movie!!

Wow! is the word after I said this movie.

The idea is very interesting because I had never watched this kind of movies before.

It is one of the greatest things in the movie, I think.

Technology is well developed today so that people can visualize what people think about something that is quite difficult to tell by words.

The idea of dream was quite simple in some sense, but it is also complicated.

As well as the idea, the story is quite complicated and confusing sometimes, so I really had to focus on what is actually( This word "actually" is importatn!) going on.

Even though you think you follow everything you see, you still need to think.

I'm not big fan of science fiction, but this movie blew my mind!

As I said, I have watched this movie twice in the theare( and I-MAX!!), but I still love to watch this movie.

There is something you never know about, which might make some of you hate this movie, but I strongly recommend to watch this movie if you have not watched yet!!
