Hula Girls (2006)
Nice movie, tear jerker though. I didn’t know till the end but it’s based on true events.
Over the past 40 years the movie said 318 girls have passed through the ranks of Hula Girls.

Silence of the Lambs. It was interesting.
I was pretty distracted by a green line at the bottom of my screen, so I think I'll have to watch it again to really get into it.

I love that movie! Nankai Candies' Shizu-chan (Yamasaki Shizuyo), who auditioned for Morning Musume。once upon a time, is pretty funny in it, too.

I had to see Ōbayashi Nobuhiko's House (ハウス) from 1977 again. I had it earmarked for Halloween viewing, but I didn't get around to it until tonight. It's one of Japan's most bizarre movies, and that's saying something.

Emil und die Detektive — A German children's film from 1931, with a screenplay by the great Billy Wilder, based on the novel by Erich Kästner, which I loved as a kid. A small-town boy named Emil Tischbein goes to visit his grandmother in Berlin, but a man on the train steals his 140 marks. The kids in Berlin help Emil catch the thief and get his money back. It's a very enjoyable film, with wonderful images of Weimar-era Berlin and creepy Fritz Rasp as the villain.

I saw Thor 2: The Dark World today and loved it

^ I saw it this weekend and enjoyed it as much as the first one. Stan's cameo was funny.

Hmm never seen the film but the novel was just so interesting! Though I may have read when I was 7-8 I guess....

Beyond the Valley of the Dolls (1970) on the big screen, as part of the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts "X: The History of a Film Rating" series -- Sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll are the key ingredients in Russ Meyer's melodrama about a female rock band, written by Roger Ebert (yes, that Roger Ebert). You'd be hard pressed to find a more ridiculously campy movie anywhere, but there is some really groovy music on the soundtrack.

Yesterday I saw "The Hunger Games". There are some flaws, but in general as an adaptation it's great!It transmits well the atmosphere of the book and its "nuance"(is it the right word?).

Kabei: Our Mother (2008)

A movie about family, and a tyrannical government. A+.

You know a good movie when the characters stick with
you long after.
