Of Japanese films and Shi

Correct me if I'm wrong but this is the 3rd time I've encountered Kabuki or Noh actors with "Shi" in their name: Shinichiro,  Shinzaburo, Shichinosuke). Is that a fad or something?

The film KIDS Josho - Kizu No Himitsu reminded me why I love Japanese films the most. Although I've recently had this mecha love with Transformers, I guess my heart is at peace the most with Japanese cinema's subtle portrayals of human drama.

 


And yey because Eiga Sai 2009 is coming up this week. I'm so excited! I've checked the schedule but I guess I won't be able to watch The Milkwoman because they glued it's schedule to 2:00 PM. PSSSH. Too bad. Although the title is a little too serious *sarcastic*, it has some great reviews to be curious about.

Anyway, will pimp this blog: Toronto J-Film Pow-wow because they have great reviews. And hello, hello! When I opened their homepage, the latest entry was a top 10 list of Japanese Cinema's best LGBT films. XDDDD I know. That's why I'm pimping it. 8DDD

But this is the film I want to watch next:




I've seen this featured in a magazine before, but I don't remember much of the contents of the article. The captions of the magazine from the film, and the poster alone, was the kind that always left a mark in my mind. And here we are meeting again. I remember my encounter with Kirisawa's "Rashomon".


I missed watching films~ I've watched 3 movies today actually: Transformers 1, KIDS Jusho, and Alvin and the Chipmunks the movie. And yesterday, I enjoyed Transformers 2 at the cinema. Maybe that's why. ^^v

Leave it to my dorky/geeky-self to think that the Deceptecons were transmitting signals to my brain when a slight pain in the head made me twitch in my seat yesterday while watching the movie. Maybe there's a chip inside my brain? Haha.


I'm a little bit too imaginitive. WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE~
