Che Part Two - Good, but it was so monotonous because I have not seen Part One...
Tokyo! - Bad. So B-movie. I like its theme.
The Wrestler - Good. It's sort of ROCKY with typical american family love story. I like Marisa Tomei.

The International - Bad. Not so fun, Not so thrillling.
Terminator 4 - Bad. I was about to sleep.
High Voltage - Good. The most exciting and nasty movie in 2009.

WATCHMEN is an american graphic novel issued in late 80's, written by Alan Moore and graphic was drawn by Dave Gibbons.
WATCHMEN story is based on the age of the 37th US president Richard Nixon, especially on Cold War.
WATCHMEN is american citizen heroes who got super power. Each character is drawn as metaphor of humanity in the story.
This novel is not a typical comic story of american super hero, but it tells essential theme of human being.
I was impressed with recent Zack Snyder's directed film "WATCHMEN". Though his movie seemd to be criticized by some film commentators, I think he surprisingly succeeded in filmimg details of graphic novel.
My roots of music is soundtrack of the movies. I started to dig wide range of music after a friend of mine introduced me a casette tape of a motion picture soundtrack when I was in the fourth grade.
As vinyl finders dig soundtrack records of the movies, there are lots of good music in motion picture soundtrack.
Motion picture soundtrack of The BEACH is not one of my specials but I like songs in this CD and feelings in the track list. This title reminds me of summer every year.
Be Kind Rewind is the best movie in 2008.
I recommend you to watch without checking out the information about this movie.
This movie which makes you feel the antithesis of Hollywood, internet, and technology is not just like a b-movie but a good movie that drew commedy and happiness between stupid and smart.
Directed by Michel Gondry, starring MosDef and Jack Black.
I went to PEDALMAFIA祭, a party of bicylce movie presented by PEDALMAFIA. In this matsuri (祭 / party), a lot of cool movie was played in 4 hours.
"Fumikiri" was the number one movie in this party. This movie is directed by Daisuke Hayakawa and Toshihiko Nakano. Featured japanese top fixed bike rider, Kai, Kyoichi Ozaki, and MKM of JAN crew.
I could say hello to Kai / Hakusyaku offline for the first time. Thanks, it was nice to talk to you, though you will forget me as you said :D

The legendary night club in Tokyo, "Space Lab Yellow" closed after 16 years since its open.
My friend Koichi Nakamura (filmmaker/DJ) finished the filming last scenes of Yellow and editng it for the documentary film "YELLOW" now.
Details will be announced on the official web site.
I miss this great music place in Tokyo as a DJ who played there.

My friend "Koichi Nakamura" is now working on the film about NewYork dance music and DJs. The title is "HiSTORY The Living Legends of Dance Music".
This film featured well known house music DJs and producers like Timmy Regisford, Danny Krivit, Francois K, Daivd Mancuso, Joe Claussel, Kerri Chandler, Theo Parrish, and more artists.
I get the box set of David Lynch Film "Inland Empire" + his documentation film "Lynch 1".
I define this film as Remix of Twin Peaks, Mulholland Drive, Blue Velvet, plus new sample source rather than Intallation. If you like dark and mysterious world of David Lynch, you will be easily lost in this story.
And you can see Lynch's deep life, senses, and philosophy in the documentary "Lynch 1".
Sylvester Stallone finised the series of RAMBO.
This story is in Burma after Vietnam war. Burmese military rules and genocides minority people in Burma like Karen people. Christian human rights missionary group wanted to help them and asked RAMBO to let them get to Burma. Some member of missionaries was murdered by sudden attack of Burmese millitary, and 2 of them was in custody. RAMBO and mersenary soldiers go to the village of Burmese millitary to get them back, and fight against the enemy...
In this movie, there are lots of cruel scene and bloody dead men's meat. And it makes you feel the enemy's cruelty. But, after watcing the last scene, I thought RAMBO was as cruel as Burmese millitary...
Ofcourse, they are evil people though RAMBO killed so many human being...
Why did stallone use so many killing scene like this...?
