Mememe no kurage (2013)
Brought out my inner child
For starters, this movie isn't for everyone. I think if you're a fan of Takashi Murakami's work, Digimon, and Pokémon then yes it's for you. It's something different and unique compared to other CGI films I seen before. You can tell the influences were from Digimon, possibly Yokai Watch, Totoro, and Summer Wars. Despite some of the somewhat corny green screen scenes, this movie is a gem. I would definitely buy this on DVD to one day show to my future kids. If this movie was an anime it would of been TOO much compared to Pokémon & the others. I think Takashi made the right choice to make it an interesting CGI movie.
Big in Japan (2014)
It's like the Hangover.. but in Japan lol
You know what, I'm glad I ran into this movie by chance. It's not for everyone though. I think if you have a strong interest on what's it like in being Tokyo Japan, as well as being into rock music then this is probably for you.
Although you can tell this movie was made in an indie format, it still did a lot of justice with a great soundtrack, quirky characters, and pretty good cinematography. This movie showcases how far friendship and being goal orientated can take you when it comes to achieving something you cant see. I ONLY WISH they shot this movie on film, in my opinion it would of been 5x better because everything looks better on film when shooting in Tokyo. Phil really stole the show with his eccentric personality and optimism. Definitely won't mind watching this again. As a matter of fact, I"ll watch it next month during my 14 hr flight to Japan lol.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)
From 6 years old til 32 , it never gets old !
Even after 32 years this movie still feels the same as if I was watching it as a kid. It never gets old! I was still smiling, remembered majority of the dialogue, and still entertained. This is still coined as one of the best ninja turtle movies ever in the franchise. The film type they used, cinematography, use of dark ambient lighting, etc. It's just overall.. DOPE.
Thank God I still have this on VHS! "RADICAL"🤙🏾
Crazy Rich Asians (2018)
YaWwwNnnn
Nothing about this film catches my attention. It's actually pretty dull and filled with materialism. Maybe they should make a film called "Crazy Rich Black Folks" it'll be better? Oh wait nvm it's called "Empire" *insert sarcasm*
Skate Kitchen (2018)
Extremely VALID
Although this film reminds me greatly of the movie "Mid 90's" and The Sandlot, it still has a great story & concept. I can actually relate to this film as a previous skater (even though I'm a guy) because at the end of the day friendship is a very important aspect in the skating community. Many issues/ obstacles may arise, but as a skateboarder it's important for us to overcome it and grow. The main girl in this film did quite well as far as acting wise in my opinion. I DO feel like Jaden could work more on his acting but he's still at that learning phase. The cinematography and color Grading is dope overall! I could relate to both main girl & Jaden because I used to skate hardcore back in the day & take pictures & videos. This film reminds me of my ex who also skates in the NY scene with her girl friends and lives life to the fullest.
Now this film isn't for everyone.. I feel like you have to be open minded to skateboarding as well as what today's youth indulges in. Everything pretty much shown in this movie is quite accurate of how the Ny scene (even Houston, TX where I'm from) can get down in the underground.
Also too even though the film is a "taboo cult movie", this reminds me of KIDS from the early 90's but ofc a more cleaner/female version of it lol.
