A "Helter-Skelter" Movie!

Before introduce Erika Sawajiri's new film to you, it's better to share some information about her.

Erika Sawajiri, born in 1986, actor and singer, played heroin "Ririko" in "Helter-Skelter" movie.
She has started her carrier as model at first after she graduated elementary school.
Then she appeared in TV drama in 2003.
In 2005, she played the leading female role in "1 liter of tears"(TV drama) and in "Pacchigi!"(movie), and she got several prizes in this year.
In 2006, she started her carrier as singer.

In 2007, an incident made her well-known. It was happen at the movie premiere for a movie which she played. She refuse to give any comment in this opportunity to promote the movie, so the media criticized her.
After that, Erika was a kind of disappear from TV or a movie theater.

This "Helter-Skelter" movie is a first movie after long absence.
Based on a legendary Kyoko Okazaki's comic, Erika tried to show us her best acting in this movie.
People might be confused, Erika is Ririko or Ririko is Erika?
Both of them are similar. They are so pretty, challenging, and scandalous.

Directed by Mika Ninagawa, photographer, and a daughter of Yukio Ninagawa, colourful imaged her world will be shown.

I felt story was slow and redundant at some part of this film. but still, I think you can enjoy to watch this movie.

Erika is fabulously pretty in various colourful gorgeous dress in this movie.

"I want to see Erika!"

That's one of the reason that people came to theater, I guess.

Men In Black 3

Finally I went to a theater to watch "Men In Black 3"!

So sad, there is no Frank the Pug(but actually there is Frank's photo in J's bedroom! ).

In this time, Agent J(Will Smith) must save K(Tomy Lee Jones)'s life in his past 40 years ago...

And J found young K was a cheerful man not reticent and poker faced. K has changed. But what happen? J would find at last.

Story is simple and not so many (crazy)aliens this time. But after everything was happen between J and K(oh, I was exactly filled with tears), I feel happy to see them working together again.

Waiting for MIB3

Men In Black will be back.

MIB3 will be shown on 25th May...... 25? Yes, Today!
(But now is midnight and I must sleep before going to work)
I can't wait to watch it anymore!

Because it was long time ago when I watched MIB(1997) and MIB2(2002), I really didn't expect to watch MIB3. But finally agent K(Tommy Lee Jones) and agent J(Will Smith) will be back!

They are secret agents who dressed in black suits, and try to keep people who saw UFO or aliens quiet.

Well, in MIB2, there was an unique agent. His name was Frank, actually he was a dog(pug).

This is my favorite scene. Cute, isn't it?
Agent Frank was singing "I will survive"(Gloria Gaynor) and "Who Let the Dog's Out?"(Baha men).

Can I see agent Frank again? Well, I think it's skeptical... but I hope that MIB3 will be amazing even agent Frank will not be shown.

"Thermae Romae" movie!

Did you watch the Japanese movie "Thermae Romae"?

I have just watched that movie on Saturday.

This Japanese comic/manga(by Yamazaki Mari) based movie has a simple story about an ancient Roman Public Bath Designer, Lucius.

Lucius was played by Japanese actor, Hiroshi Abe who has unbelievably an ancient Roman Like appearance.

His acting was really funny and people in the theater couldn't stop laughing!

You know why? Because Lucius was suddenly transported to today's Japan and found unique Japanese bath culture. So he brought many ideas to ancient Roma.

How about you try to watch trailer first?
