Bowling for Columbine(2002) |
Activist filmmaker Michael Moore came up with his idea from
two shooting incidents. One happened at Columbine.
Other happened at Frint Michigan's.
He seeked why American killed astronomical number of people?
Canadian has more than two times their own guns however they
haven't rocked their home key.
In Japan there are much more scary and brutal game softs in
the market but
they don't kill each other? Why? In England the rate of divorce
is higher than America and there are more unemployeement nation
in country. But they don't need their gun to protect their body.
Why? In America people easy to get guns and bullet in stores.
However they aren't willing to regulate it.
Furthermore bank use guns to account opening campaign.
And they are pound of using guns why? They forget about bloodless
coup? But their answers make sense why they got guns.
They are afraid of things which they have done long time ago.
Violent national history, slavery,poverty, they stay away from
those kind of things widespread gunowner system.
It just beginning of "new phobia". |

REVIEW (*****) |
After I wrote this review, Charlton Heston retired(or resign?)
CEO of NRA. How big influence of documentary film!
I said same thing in review about X-men.
American culture based on a "fear" and "consumption"
and "how to sales "Why? They are "Immigrant country"
and "They haven't taken responsibility about what they
have done in American continent.
Obese problem cause from they couldn't their eating roots
too much seek how to eat derisions meal they wouldn't
consider balance of nutrition based on nationality.
Slavery came up the idea from how to have a easy life,
it connected recent out-sawing problem in Big company.
After they replaced their job, it's too much fuss about that.
We can said same thing about gun control.Finally American
no one believe each other "before crush out, you should
crush someone" Probably they wanna said it.
But I thought the most horrible people is people who is
"Americanize"While I watched this someone nodded as
if understand all of American issues.
That's horrible. It was "just" part of America.
We could say same thing in Japan.

REVIEW (***) |
Based on the best selling action novel "The Bourne Identity"
has been tried to cinematize many times. Actually TV-movie
"The Bourne Identity" was directed by Robert Young(Magnum.P.I)
TV-actor Richard Clamberlain performed Jason Bourne.
Cast setting of "The Bourne^" was Jason who came back from
Vietnam secret commander. Age was over middle of 30.
At that time, hero of Robert Ludlum's novel had common things.
They were stricken-animals, matured, such as Roger Hauer in
Osterman Weekend directed By Sam Pekimpar, Micheal Caine in
The Holcroft Covenant directed by John Frankenheimer.
Now they found those kinds of hero are old-hat even though
they are suit in novel image "The Bourne~" borrow just casting
setting and they renovate casting image tried to keep image
of "Europe spy movie". Matt Damon was appropriate to performed
Jason Bourne. His movie hit since "Rounders" I've ever seen.
Now you're talking. He gave as good as his got. It meant
supporting casts were brilliant. Brian Cox who will perform
villain in X2. Shooting point was also good
Speaking of France , it reminds you Ruc Besson or old French
directors however, you could see another face of France.
I kicked the beam the scene mini-coupe run down on the stairs!

REVIEW(*****) |
Matt Damon got this role.
When I watched Bourne Identity, it was not appropriate
this role for him.
Because he was too young for based novel.
But movie story setting different from the original.
It's appropriate for him.
But Karl who played Russian murder Kirill,I wonder what's for
his role. I don't know he was dead or no.
If he wasn't dead, it would suit for the original story.
But it was dead, what's for his role.
There were lack of explain about story concept and drawing characters.
Action and fashion were really good sence.
There were no CG, composed color coordinate, I like those idea.
I'm looking forward to last one.

REVIEW(***) |
Surprisingly it based biographic novel "Le Pianiste".
I saw it after two big award in Canne. I was shocked.
Probably she has tried to go against her mother when
she was young but gave up it due to some reason.
Either way, one things for sure, she exploited her
energy to resist or make a point of create new things.
She wanted to receive "Eternal love" from parents but
wouldn't get it completely.
Usually people should have given it from parents
when they were childhood, she couldn't get it,
so she is looking for it everywhere and anywhere
without discrimination.
Unless Erika (also Walter) couldn't understand those
kind of things, they couldn't figure out best answer
and would continue to look for "Eternal lover "their mind.
They despaired to do it, so the last scene was like that.
Actors and actress's acting were so brilliant.

REVIEW(*****) |
Based on off-Broadway show ran'98-'00.
Snoppy celebrities went to see it like David Bowie,Maddona.
If you were "Gram-rock lover" or "'70-'80s love lover",
you would be absorbed in it!
If you NOT interested in it, I can guarantee,
"it would be interesting movie"
Hedwig got angry against world that wouldn't buy
him but not angry against person who left him.
That's the point of movie. He is also looking for
"better -half" which has everything he doesn't
have it. But he found one things.
We are complete from the beginning.
To looking for "better half" or "meet friend" is
"Finding good point each other".
It's difficult but we can find easily if he who is
500times stranger than us do that it.
If she or he next to you come to their mind,
could you admit him or her?
Or would you left she or he before they come to
their mind something?
If you couldn't come up your answer,
I recommend to see this movie.
Hewig's lovers have all answer
Hedwig is off cause amazing but as far as concerned
my type was Stephen who scored it

Review(****) |
Based on a true story of Daniel Coyle when he lived in Canadian getto.
It's easy to say if you like to behave cool, ice-hearted...like
"This story is totally Mickey Mouse."
But think about it? How difficult to get over
"shameful situation" like Conor.
He gave himself into gambling to avoid to face himself.
Before he met children who are in Kekambas,
I thought that he hasn't able to find the fact
that "only himself to solve himself".
He found it though teaching baseball.
This movie rocked me. Keanu is natural like
when he played base guitar in his band
Dog Star.
I didn't much expect him ,so I was rocked him.
Also children were impressed me.
Especially G-baby stole the show.
They played how difficult , tough and hard
to live in poverty level parts of big cities.
As far as "ball-game" is two meaning .
Base ball and Gunshot.
And they heeded tough neighborhood,
it couldn't help to they can't believe anybody.
But they believe Conor.
Probably they saw "Ideal man" in his eyes.

Recently he has no brockbuster hit movie and
reprehensive movie, I've ever seen.
If you would be fed up with the movie too much
use CG,i t would be good movie I thought
But I wanna see more development idea for
each casting drawing and story telling

REVIEW(***) |
W.Snipes nominated director after see his first directing movie
Death machine.
Wesley told he is appropiate to directed it no matter
he is up-comming or not.
Also director shot it under influence from Japanese comic books.
So why this movie's atomophere reminds me of Japanese
comic books which category was spectrology.
I don't know or not...story tend to B-movie.
It couldn't help it. I don't wanna see grotesque
CG-creature,bloody scene,it was good in a way of
"Just action movie"
Stephen Dorff tried to play stylish villain,
one of the reason why I saw it but he couldn't
wash away his image(mean age plunkstar)in this movie.
If I could pick up good point of this movie,
K.Kristfferson stole the lime light away from
W.Snipes some of the scenes.
After see it... if I was Blade, I would
be femalephobia...UGH.

REVIEW(*****) |
If you had watched this movie, you've notice this plot
just mention to only 1/5 part of story.
But it's very important to explain to their relationship
before you see it.
This movie was based on J.Giovanni's Auto biography.
It really suits for Alain Delon's life at that time.
After he got numerous of insults in Hollywood,
he came back to Paris.
Probably he identified with himself Manu all of his
experience of setback in this first shooting movie
in Paris.
In this movie , how many times did they setback
their dreams and get over their problems?
After Laetitia died ,they wouldn't stop chasing
their dreams,also Manu wouldn't stop his life
after someone died like his life.
At that time A.Delon was just 31! It's amazing.
Last'60s~'70s Hollywood made some youth- war- setback
movie like Big Wednesday
However. Even J=M=Vincent was 35 at that time.

REVIEW(****) |
It rather "buddy movie" than family movie I thought.
Sonny played Julien also Julien enjoyed with Sonny.
If you see they like "family" you would think
"No way!" but remember Sandler is regular winner of
Kid's Choice Awards.
To sum up he always even with child.
If actors who are mature would do for child like
Sandler's doing, it would become "not comedy".
But if Sandler of J.Black do it, they would catch
trust from kids. I wonder why.
Anyway...character setting kind of same Sandler himself.
Family of Sandler are lawyer, dentist, doctor.
Adam was only son who became a comedian or actor.
Then his father is very strict as same as this movie.
The last scene of this movie, Sonny successed as a lawyer
and got his family.
It's like "preview of his future" don't you think?
His movie is always funny and heartwarming.
Probably whenever he makes his movie he joined his friends.
About casting... Sprouse twins are very talented.
End of Shooing day, Dylan's baby teeth suddenly dropped down.
It was Friday night but his mother arranged for dentist
to see him.

On the other hand alone,wanna heal by someone
has aggressiveness...I thought it's American
Paradxical..we got it's clear just see
the movie.
America is immigrant company then they haven't
figure out how to feel American's trauma.
Then Simonet tried to plan how to heal American's
trauma for his student and he was surprised why
Travor has real answer, I supporse.
If "Pay it Forward" would done, "American
Pradxical" would show their bangs I thought.
