Pretty much. That and the two Yuens.

Actually, today I was thinking how much I enjoy our interactions and your reviews and posts. 🦋💕

No, I’m quite grateful for your comments. I did a quick rewrite this morning before heading out. It needed some tweaking. 😄

I needed this short uplifting film after watching Obayashi’s House. Now that was a weirdly confusing film 😳

I suspect my review is what's confusing by trying to not give away all of the story and writing it late at night. 😄 I'll go back and rework it.

The story is completely streamlined due to time constraints but in a way most drama watchers will know how to fill in the blanks. The most confusing part for me was a white priest being the father of his friend's descendant. The priest turned out to be Marty Friedman, Megadeath's lead guitarist who for years now does a lot of work in Japan! 😅

Yes. It was a documentary made by Samantha detailing how they found each other and went from strangers to sisters. It was roughly made but the story was moving.

I think they were trying to make the next Jackie Chan and laid an egg. Although I have a soft spot for Hwang Jang Lee who was nearly always relegated to bad guy roles.

Shaolin Soccer is one of the few slapstick kung fu flicks I actually enjoyed. ⚽️😄

Well she does have to have sex with the ML in the dominant role several times to “sustain” herself. 😏

I don’t know if there will be a second season but they sure left it open for one. Guess we’ll see if Amazon thinks it’s cost effective. If they do I hope Hachi grows up.

Leaving the Criterion Channel at the end of October 2024

Still available on YT

Thank you. 😊

I was looking for something lighter, like one town helping another out because they knew what it was like to lose everything. Then to see the friendships forged as they bonded. Or even to see if the broken couple found their way back to each other after nearly 20 years. This was not that film 😔

Was still available on Tubi as of this date.

I watched this on the Criterion Channel (subscription). There are two different endings depending on which version you watch. The international version has an additional kaiju at the end!

Currently on MAX.

I think that’s part of it. So often the abusive parents are often just accepted as the way it is. Or behavior that is abusive is not seen that way.

Been waiting for this to finish, but was concerned with some of the posts I've seen. Thanks for your review. Getting really tired of awful parents.
