Whispers of the Heart (Review)
"Country Rooooaadddsss"
Okay, so I watched this a week ago and I gotta say I really had to think hard about this movie. For one thing after i got over the fact that it wasn’t a fantasy movie. This is a REALLY good movie. Seriously, it is. It stars this girl named Shizuku. Shizuku is having a hard time accepting her life and finding out what her purpose is, taking life seriously, and how to do it as the world around decides to take things seriously before she does. As she finds, talent, love imagination, and at first problems that lead into comfort from her and family/piers. This movie is really special to me because I actually went thought the same thing as Shizuku.( Except for the love part which didn’t work out so well). As she’s beginning to enter high school, her friend Yuko hangout, find out she has a crush on some dude, Yuko does not Shizuku, and they sing a Shizuku wrote called "Country Roads." The movie then goes to tell about her relationship with a boy Shizuku thinks is a jerk named Seije. Her inhabitations to focus and perfect her writing skills and how it affects her imagination, family and how she views her life. This is a really good drama/anime movie and i hope who ever reads this BUYS the movie instead of veoh-ing it. And when i get enough money I’ll buy it too.

(Spoilers)DANG this movie made me felt somthin’ strange inside. The movie representation of being internally lost while the world around you its finding its way is really inspiring. It shows that around that 8-9th grade transition life in some aspects get real. And everything happy doesn’t last always. Like when Seije leaves and she finds a way to look past that into start writing her own book. Or lie how she's confused on how to handle the situation wit that guy who loves Shizuku but Yoko likes him. This little girl is maturating and actually grows though character development. Seije is an extremely handsome/enjoyable character. He's just really heartwarming and at the same time swave. Its easily noticeable that he likes her and that was the reason he said and did the things he did to Shizuku in the first place. The movie shows how growing up with a dream and aspiration at a young age matched with creativity is beautiful thing. I love how it all comes at one time and it builds up and builds up. Also I love how they don’t screw with her being in middle school because at the time she goes though her creative breakthrough she needs to be studying for her thigh school exams and how she get IN TROUBLE for pushing her self so much. It’s really a beautiful, glorious movie that can be looked and loved for so many things and angles. So I give it a

Black Dynamite (Review)

Black Dynamite (Review)

"DY-NA-MITE,DY-NA-MITE"!!!!!

You give mother turkey better watch the baaaaddest movie this side of....where ever this movie was shot at...Black Dynamite gonna kill all yall honkys Out-a-site and Out-a-town. Dang I Iove this movie. Just watched it and I gotta say Scott Sanders the director should get ALOT of more work than he has ever since.....he made this movie. As an homage to the ill reputedly named genre of Blaxploitation. Now if you dont know your history which I asume alot of you don't. Im actually NOT gonna sit down and explain it to you. What i am do is type the word blaxploitation and give you a link to a Wikipedia page about it...right here... blaxploitation. Now if you DONT know what that is DONT see this movie. REALLLLY only black people and Quentin Tarantino should see this movie and not get offended. As a black guy if you watch this and you white and get offended that’s YOUR fault. No body else’s. Anyway I REEEEAAALLLY love this movie. It starts Michael Jai White as Black Dynamite who is the baaaaddest motor scooter in town. Or the world. I'm serious the guy is like the black Chuck Norris. Only more blacker than you would of actually thought. The movie consist of Black Dynamite "an ex CIA agent and Vietnam veteran " who brother just got killed and is after the guy who did it and the same guy who pushing dope onto orphans. Before I spoiler it up it has a great story you should go see it. Anyway the only thing it lacks is a depth a seriousness and actually sitting down talking this out and well long scenes. All this the scenes are very quick precise to the point and do what there suppose to do. But what make this more special is the formatting,  i mean shooting of the movie, in "16 mm camera" but it really helps bring you into its world. If anything like this exists. If you've watched any Blaxploitation move like this..."Shaft" "Coffy" Boss(N-word i wont say because well you know)". Its not too far away from that. Shakey loos cameras crazy cool editing like Mario Van Peebles style and its just a really good "i-wanna-see-black-dudes-beat-the-crap-outta-people-70's-movie"......."to-the-extreme" I feel like this movie was made specifically for me and because of that i want get into EXTREME detail like other reviews and spaz out over the kung-fu. Which i really wanna do. But if you love Blaxplotation , funny, butt kicking, movies,....this is it. All in all i give it

Pulp Fiction (Review)

Pulp Fiction

"SAY WHAT AGAIN" !!!

Okay let me start of as saying this is my FAVORITE movie(so far).Well.....i guess that really wasn't a good way to start...ANWAY this is awesome directors 2nd movie after Reservoir Dogs. The main movie consists of two hit men, a crime boss's wife, the crime boss, and a boxer. The thing i admire most about the movie is their not the main characters. Its the the things they do,say,act and the things that happen to them AS REAL PEOPLE. Quentin Tarantino keeps you edge of your seat and its AWSOME the stuff that happens to these people are adrenaline rushing moments that are crazzy!!!! Not just that every moment is a interesting/exciting. If you haven't seen this movie. Watch it. Its worth it. Watch it with 2 or 3 friends its much more fun that way.

(Spoilers)

THIS MOVIE IS AWESOME. when Samuel Jackson recited the Bible it just came the hell out of NOWHERE. And then he shoots the guy right a the height of the text is just polished badassery at its finest. The whole look of the film is awsomely cool to. The who stylized neo-film noir look is just great and i love. My favorite character would probably be Jules. For him just being so badass and black. It just crazy that a white writes dialogue. The pure amount of profanity, dug implications and reference to other works of film is just great. Films like Bande à part,Saturday Night Fever,Psycho, to Kiss Me Deadly. It really shows that the guys  is a fan of films. This is a filmmakers film. He totally upped the bar on what story telling should be taking normal plots and screwing with them. This movie shows that you can make a movie about ANYTHING you want that's really personal with you and shows the essence of film making. Also what i like about it a the scene's where it just goes slow where they're just conversating and talking like normal people(something we don't see that often in movies nowadays) also how they handle real situation. Like when Mia overdoses or when Jules undertakes divine intervention. Also for those aseome moments like Mia getting stabbed in the hear the adrenaline shot or Marvin's head getting blow off and Travolta just saying "Oh man i shot Marvin in the face" like he dropped a pen or something. Every moment is either horrifying or funny. From Marcellus Wallace getting rapped or having Marvin getting shot in the face. Its just a great movie. I always wondered what Quieten Tarantino ment when he said these are just regular  pulp magazine story lines with a twist. For SOME REASON every one heard the story about the man taking his wife's boss out to dinner but he cant touch her. I guess its more of a film noir/pulp magazine fan kind of thing. Its like if i told you every romance anime consist a regular high school teenager meeting some strange intergalactic hot alien/catgirl/wizard/angel that eventually falls in love with him. If someone made a movie about THAT and put a twist to it you could have 1/4 of Pulp Fiction influenced movie. All in all this is my favorite movie and has shown me what a real movie is. It gets a

"WHAT COUNTRY YOU FROM!!!!!"

Saturday Night Fever (Review)

 

 Saturday NIght Fever

Okay as i start this review i must admit......i dont hate disco. I dont think is the best genre of music but  i understand what it was trying to do....with that said French House music is awesome and over trump disco any day.ANYWAY lets get to the matter at hand, and by that i mean a movie that cant decide what it wants to be. The plot contains of a Young Travolta before his gang banging days with Jules(Pulp Fiction Reference). Living in Brooklyn(with no black people) trying to get by at a paint shop and at night he goes out with his sex seeking friends to a disco. NOW, at first this seems like a little harmless plot about how someone with an ambiguous dream with having fun and being recklessness.....19 year olds. THE DUDE NEEDS TO GET OUT OF HIS PARENTS HOUSE!!!! The thing is they really to make us feels sorry for him, living in the shadow of his older brother, his father never respecting him,and then thing seem to look up for him. He starts training with this I WANNA BE SOPHISTICATED PRISSY soon to be every stereotypical 80's movie girl.

(Spoiler Time)I saw it coming when i understood her attitude, Travolta is gonna eventually have to decide, because he love this girl, whether to grow up or keep being a free loader. and the thing is i HATE these kind of coming of age plots when the movie is forced by love. The thing i do find interesting and where the movie gets its heart and my sympathy is his relationship with his family,brother,and the girl. His friends aint interesting AT ALL. They are the most dry back up characters EXCEPT that one character who commits suicide/stupidity at the end of the movie. Which is REALLY stupid REALLY REALLY stupid. This ultimately leads to the most cheapest way of him growing up after almost raping . So end in the end she forginve him. OH i forgot about the disco, mabey because im borin in ...NOT IN THE 60's ot 70's this doesnt shock me because i know disco exzisted but other that is not very surpizing i only remeber actually two cool dacing teams. Oh i and i doo also like the fact that he gives the trophy to latino(spicks as they call them in the movie)couple is kind of cool. All in all this is a really misguided movie that doesn't understand what it wants to be. Its just a very good/cliche movie. That the average boring American would like. Just like Grease.So being i just remingd my self of that movie i give ths one a...
