This movie, which easily surpasses "MAD" and even past "FURY", is at its "MAX" (masterpiece)! Ever since I saw the first film when I was 16 years old, George Miller has saved me, encouraged me, and changed my way of life countless times. He is my God, and the SAGA that he tells is my Bible.

All of Us Strangers

One night in his near-empty tower block in contemporary London, Adam has a chance encounter with a mysterious neighbor Harry, which punctures the rhythm of his everyday life. As a relationship develops between them, Adam is preoccupied with memories of the past and finds himself drawn back to the suburban town where he grew up, and the childhood home where his parents appear to be living, just as they were on the day they died, 30 years before.

I had work in the afternoon, so I saw “All Of Us Strangers” first thing in the morning. Only four people appear, but it was a good movie. I felt like I couldn't bring myself back to the real world for a while after.

I watched "Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire.” It was a monster movie from "Toho Champion Festival" that I was crazy about as a child.

Lady Caliph

La Califfa's husband was killed during the strikes so she takes the side of the strikers. Her conflict with the plant owner Doverdo gradually turns into a love relationship.

I watched the movie "La Califfa (1970)" which was not released in Japan. Even if you have not seen this movie, you must know its music (OST). Not only fans of Morricone, of course, but also even if you haven't, you must have heard it, as it was used in an NHK documentary program and various musicians have covered the song several times.

Infinity Pool

While staying at an isolated island resort, James and Em are enjoying a perfect vacation of pristine beaches, exceptional staff, and soaking up the sun. But guided by the seductive and mysterious Gabi, they venture outside the resort grounds and find themselves in a culture filled with violence, hedonism, and untold horror. A tragic accident leaves them facing a zero tolerance policy for crime: either you'll be executed, or, if you’re rich enough to afford it, you can watch yourself die instead.

Brandon Cronenberg's latest film "Infinity Pool". Highly recommended. 4/5 in Japan. Wrote a quote. Brandon, you are awesome. 👍

But when the discovery of an ancient artifact unleashes an evil force, Ghostbusters new and old must join forces to protect their home and save the world from a second Ice Age.

I watched "Ghostbusters/Frozen Empire". It is a legitimate sequel to "Ghostbusters: Afterlife," which I enjoyed. The staff and cast are the same as before. There were no casting surprises like in the previous film. Kumail-San was in it.

Dune: Part Two

The second and final chapter of ‘Dune’ (2021).
Hideo Kojima
Director, Screenwriter, Designer
This fim shouts, "This is cinema!" and provides the “spice” that we need to live. This masterpiece of Denis will likely become a “resistance” that will significantly delay the spread of subscription services.

Watched "ARGYLLE" in Dolby Atmos. This film begins with a glass with an argyle pattern. The idea, the sense, the camera, the look, the humor, the costumes, the music selection, the sound effects, the casting, the whole film is in full bloom in Matthew Vaughn's style!

Watched "Past Lives" on the plane. It was wonderful! It was heartbreaking from start, and even though it almost tore me up in the middle, it gave me positive strength in the end! If I had seen this movie last year, it would have been in my top 10!

I watched "Revolver Lily" on the plane. I am a Haruka Ayase fan and also a fan of the original author, Kyo Nagaura, so I had decided to definitely watch this movie. I had bought the original book and the pamphlet, but missed the timing and could not see the movie in the theater.

The charming characters, well thought-out foreshadowing, and various other elements are melted down and solidified to provide the best Christmas movie ever made. You will be enchanted by Timothée's sweet singing, dancing, and Oompa-Loompas. It will make you want to eat chocolate.🍫

I saw "SOCIETY of the SNOW" at the screening yesterday. It was very different from the documentary film "La odisea de los Andes" which I saw as a child. At the time, the film was all about "cannibalism" and was sold in the style of a mondo film.

What a wonderful film. The actors, camera, special effects, editing, special makeup, sound. It is Friedkin's masterpiece. Well done. It was perfect. It is no longer a horror film, but a masterpiece of human courage against the supernatural. I also watched the making of the film. Friedkin, you are kind.

On the plane I saw Sam Mendes' "Empire of Light". The film is set in the early 1980s at the Empire movie theater in a seaside town suffering from recession and riots under the Thatcher administration. The film is beautifully shot by Roger Deakins.
