I really liked this movie. It had a western type feel to it. I think that may have had something to do either w/ the horses or the dirt. I'm not sure which. I really liked how the story progressed & how the 3 main characters were linked. There were really awesome fight/shoot out scenes. I am not sure how accurate the history is on this, but I did look up Manchuria region & how it connected the 3 countries. Well 4 if u count Russia. It was interesting the history of the region.



The male lead in Iris is "The Bad" in this movie & he does an excellent job of playing his character. "The Weird" is comes out to be more than u expect him to be in the end. "The Good" is the most accurate moving target shooter I have seen in any movie. I have never understood how they expect ppl to believe that u can hit a moving target when ur moving as much as the target. I can kinda understand if ur standing still, but moving like they do in this movie; I'm not so sure. But it is pretty cool to watch.



I enjoyed watching this movie, it made me laugh, it made me think, & it made me grossed out (cutting off body parts). I hope others enjoy it 2.

The 90s have own charm. Everything is so... different. Almost I see another world. I've watched this film with pleasure, in spite that the main character is Akanishi. I never like him on stage, when he acts... I tolerate him only, because of great voice.

I suppose that majority notice Natsu, but I'm interested in Ryuuji more. I don't know why, but he was amazing under this lamp and at the seaside.

As to LANDS' songs... I don't like this style, but it suits to the movie very much.

Perhaps, it is next strange japanese movie. After watching I say I cen't understand this plot, but the idea and this all stroy is ok. They could change this thing with cell phone-toy, which suddenly magically disappeared. I suppose that if Ryou and Shinya use this toy and they don't talk by mind, it could be more reliable. At the end, I was moved, but I don't understand why this couple couldn't meet and why there was that finish. Do they live in other space or what? Strange. Very strange.

The plot reminds me Liar Game a little, but fortunately, this movie is much better than drama. The action keeps in suspense all the time, so we can't be bored. The main character isn't naive so much or though he learn from mistakes and conclude it.

Hmm.. Though, Endo made the best business at th end.

Ahhh! I totaly dislike horrors. I watch them only on day or with friends and then I close eyes... Luckily, this curse don't scare me. It is crazy story with this unborn baby synrome, but I understand at all.

There are some brutal scenes, but rather not to much. Aww.. and the most important! Film isn't disgusting, it means there aren't nasty scenes.

Unfortunately, I'm very susceptible to all disgusted scenese and I can't watch it. Jue ming pai dui is movie, which I coudl not finish, though I tried. I've watched about half the movie, but when I substract the time, when I cover eyes, it was maybe..I don't know.. a little. My seanse was restricted to quick rewinding scence...

Maybe, I will comback to this film someday, but now... I'm too sensitive.

Crime, investigation and Jang Geun Seok. I was totaly absorbed by this film, though I was angry when I watched the end. In spite of blames, I suspect Pearson, because I saw in him... a greed? Anyway, he wasn't reliable and he described all this incident very detailed... with passion... like professinal.

Unfortunately, the end is evidence that justice often is fiction.

The story about the sick girl from 1 litre of tears is known by most of drama-fans. The movie isn't as much popular as drama and it's a pity. The film shoud be appreciated too, because though the plot is shorter, it's amazing. The cast is other one... I can't be objective about their acting, because I've fall in love with drama's cast... Anyway, everybody who love tragedy of main character in drama schould watch this movie.

I was struck by this film. Two people, whose fates would be finish soon. Suddenly, they start enjoying thier life. All decision were realize in dramatic way and this film shows it perfectly. Although, I completley don't catch this scene when they fly by this rainbow bus. Really. I was convinced they die there. Anyway, after secret resurrection, these couple achieve their purpose. The final scene is very lofty and touching...

Final film is just like next drama's episode, which is summary all this story and it makes beautiful end. The all series is epic, so I suppose that this movie doesn't require bigger comment. When I watch that long drama I always feel sadness that I have to part with characters, but on th other hand it is a huge benefit, because if something is too long, the plot loses sense and casts has more crazy threads. In this case I know I can always comeback to drama and characters won't be changed.

It is typical school movie and it perfectly shows power of influence on ther people. Se Ri and Eom Yun Mi are totally different like fire and water. Time goes and the situation is changed. The girls makes friendship, which isn't easy... The topic about strong relationship between girls is interesting thing in movie, though I'm not convinced to way of presenting it there. Maybe it's the director's fault, maybe bad actors.. I don't know. Film could be better.

Shinobi is an exceptional telling of this story of the koga and iga ninja tribes. The scenery was spectacular, the fights believable and the acting was awesome.

I saw Basilisk before so I was familiar with the plot already, but the film inspired me to go find out the actual story. I felt like the story was a little rushed but they had to get a lot in a little time.

I loved the set design and the scenery. The camera seems to do a lot of scenery pans and where I would usually complain I didn't mind at all.

Although the acting was good I didn't feel Yukie was as good as Joe. However, she performs better here than in Gokusen. All the supporting cast did really well, they had a way of making you really believe they were from that time. I love movies that just suck you in and make you want to see if maybe the end will change from what you know it to be. This is one of those movies.

I've not seen so many good scenes of battle for many months. The movie has the great beginning. Actually, these moments of fight and soundtrack are the biggest trumps of this production. The main character, played by Oguri Shun has surprised me too. I coudn't imagine this actor in t a h a t role earlier. What is more, he did it the best! The huge appreciation.

In spite of all these benefits, there are some boring moments. The dialogues were so.. uninteresting.

不能說的秘密 is one of the best taiwanese movies I have ever seen. I know Jay Chou is genius. Is there something what he can't do? I'm not surprised he is one of the most influential people in branch.

The plot is so absorbing, especially in the second part. I must admit the idea is very oryginal! Mysterious Lu Xiao and the old piano's story... I will never guess what is the secret!

Music, effects, acting... It's worth to see it!

Undoubtedly, Kisaragi and Mamiya are cute couple. The boys learnt something from each other. Even the beginning suggets, that the end will be tragic or dramatic.. but this is that charm. There aren't typical, schematic happy end. Mamiya... I didn't suppose that he will finish in this way..

The quotations about love, screening during the movie makes, that whole includes deeper meaning. Great film!
