I watched the latest of the Poirot movies starring Kenneth Branagh and I have to say, this was my favourite one! While I enjoyed Murder on the Orient Express, I thought it had a bit too much backstory that was not really canon (or was that the second movie?). Death on the Nile, on the… Read More A Haunting in Venice – The Best Adaptation is No Adaptation
It’s been a while since I did a movie review, but this one is totally in line with the origins of this blog because it’s a movie based on the Jdrama series Galileo. I don’t think I’ve talked about Galileo in years (and maybe only briefly at the start of blogging) but this was one… Read More Movie Review: Silent Parade
I can’t believe I almost forgot about this! I went for the Jimami Tofu 5D Dining Experience the week after STF and absolutely enjoyed it, but I also started my smartphone detox soon after and with my new reading speed (or rather, with the extra reading time I’ve found on my commute), I’ve been so… Read More Movie Review: Jimami Tofu (5D Dining Experience)
I can’t find the image now, but just after the Avengers Endgame opening weekend, one of my friends shared an image of the top movie in various countries. Endgame topped them all – except in Japan, where the number one movie was Detective Conan: Fist of the Blue Sapphire. If the fact that Detective Conan… Read More Movie Review: The Fist of the Blue Sapphire (Detective Conan Movie #23)
So on Saturday, Silence was released in Japan! It’s directed by Martin Scorsese and has spent 26 years in the making! As a big fan of the book (to the point where my Extended Essay was a comparison analysis of Silence and The Man Within), I was at the first showing at Hakata’s T-Joy theatre… Read More Silence: Movie Review
Today was the last day of exams for me, and after my paper, my friend and I went to watch a movie! This is the one she recommended: Screenshot from: http://himitsu-movie.jp/ The first thing my friend said to me when we exited the cinema was “It was kinda gory, right?” Apparently, all my cowering didn’t go… Read More Movie Review: Himitsu – The Top Secret (秘密)
I’m back! Did anyone miss me? XD I arrived back in Fukuoka today, after a really, really quick trip home for my cousin’s wedding. I’ve actually got a lot to blog about (although I’m not sure if I should be blogging about my cousin’s wedding. Maybe I’ll just talk about the other things in Singapore),… Read More Update/The Throne
After missing one movie, I finally went to see the latest Detective Conan movie. To be honest, I only went to see it because the Black Organisation was on the poster. Kinda like why I watched Dimensional Sniper two years ago. Anyway, I LOVED this movie. It was what the poster (I didn’t watch the… Read More Detective Conan: The Darkest Nightmare (Movie Review + the Singapore Connection)
Image from Fujitv.co.jp/mitarai Um… hi 😀 I know I said FAQ or Shukatsu post next (sorry, Whitney!), but I remembered that I watched this a few days ago and I wanted to talk about it. BECAUSE IT IS REALLY GOOD. Ahem, I’m calm again. I basically decided to watch this two hour plus drama special… Read More Drama Review: Tensai Tantei Mitarai (天才探偵ミタライ)
I don’t know if this film is going to make its way out of Japan, but I hope it is because this is a must-watch!! I went in expecting to watch a moving tale (and I did, having cried for half the movie), but I came out feeling like there’s still hope as long as… Read More Movie Review: Sughiara Chiune (Persona Non Grata)
