Last friends (2008 Jdorama)
Takeru being a fashionable male is great character. But at last he get only friendship.... too bad. Michiru is dumb, again and again being sabotage by Sosuke and still believe in hi,even delivers his child. Her mom is wise enough to ask for an abortion. Yet she ignores her Mon as any children will do.. Sosuke being a hateful character brings so much of negative energy into happy family. Ruka fits the character well and too bad she has to like women. My opinion this series is comfortable to watch minus the sosuke portion. its mostly rinse and repeat sosuke abuse michiru and run to share house and back to sosuke and to share house and to sosuke..... they never get tired of that... the best thing is that the theme song is prisoner of love by Utada Hikaru. I guess the series is trying to describe that many people is imperfect, unable to handle relationship. even the other half is poison they will still go for it blindly.

Far and Away (1992 movie)
Wow it blew me away far far away. Irish farmer bad landlord (the landlord actually is good, his henchmen is bad) and landlords daughter and free land and boxing. man, the boxing scene is really an exiting one. The opponent was twice his size. blood spilling all over. Nicole Kidman is very beautiful. He could have won the last boxing fight. Too bad Nicole got shoot, and she had to be sent back to her family. His horse is crazy fast if u ask me. well, happy ending.

Seven Years In Tibet (1997 movie )
Seven Years in Tibet is based on true story. Which a foreigner make friend with the Holy 14th Dalai Lama ). Great mountain climbing scene. Great Tibet country side view. Felt almost i was there for a moment. Very pleasing , and beautiful. The movie does a great job of showing the Potala Palace and Jokhang Temple in Lhasa as well as the rural villages of Tibet. Not to mention the breath taking views of the Himalayas. The Dalai Lama give the music box as a present for Mr Harrer before the leave Tibet. In the end the story is about father and son reunion and climbing the mountains. The greatest strength of the Tibetan is peace. Before watching this film i always thought Tibet is a part of China. It seems that Tibet is a country and China invaded the country.

Elizabeth I (2006 movie)
Elizabeth I .. Yupp the Queen that is virgin. The most memorable scene is where she signs the death warrant of the Scottish Queen Mary. She was unbearable to the order but she has to do it. She ask the delivery man to delay it but the guy delivers it anyway so his advisers deliver the sentence. 2 chops in the head .. " God save the Queen?" Earl of Leicester was dead in the bed in the first dvd disc.
Okay, the second half is where most things go out from the rail.. The Queen and her young lover. The Earl of Essex. Its disturbing to see the old and young together. Oh . now i know its based on history .. Earl of Essex rebelled and off goes his head. "The most difficult thing to govern is the heart"
Kitchen stories (2003 movie)
At first i was like this is a kitchen related film , for sure there will be some scenes where there will be cooking scenes of delicious meals. No cooking scene. this must be the first no cooking scene related movie. Well, as simple the title can be, its story is bizarre. Unique in a way that i will remember for some time and its somewhat heart warming.
the Swedish fellow Folke works for the Home Research Institute. He’s been sent out to rural Norway to observe how much a single man walks in the kitchen. The institute found out that the housewife walks the equivalent from Sweden to the Congo in a year.
Isak volunteered for the study but changed his mind. (at first he wants a horse that the institute offers) (but when he found out its just a wooden horse he regretted) Folke has to wait several days parked in his trailer before Isak finally lets him in the house. Neither is allowed to speak to each other or interact. As Folke sits in his pedestal chair watching, Isak makes life miserable for him. Isak even takes to secretly observing Folke. Finally, the two men become friends.
I like it when Folke celebrates birthday with Isak with birthday cake and booze. as useless as he can be he was wasted the next day and caught by his boss.
I like it when there is a eating scene where Folke gobble down the food his aunt sent him... He gobble down scrumptiously , the pickles, bread, ham and sausages .. So he is not feeling well afterwards..
His boss finds out they’ve become buddies and he fires Folke. The researcher has to take the trailer back to Sweden as part of his contract. He takes it to the Norse-Swede border and leaves it there, so he can spend Christmas with Isak. He arrives back on the farm to find Isak’s sickly horse being loaded onto a truck and that Isak has died. (i wounder if Isak committed suicide.)
Folke stays in Norway and lives in Isak’s house. He even becomes friends with Isak’s neighbor who hated him initially.
as i said bizarre story but somewhat memorable.
