Reviews

This movie is short but really good. I liked the shots and the way it was filmed. The length of this film perfectly matched what the creator wanted to convey. Without unnecessary prolongation, the focus was on one topic. The movie focused on Pam and UK's relationship, and we also got an explanation that focused on them as to how the situation came to be. The actors did very well. I thought it was going to be just a funny story about how a party aunt finds herself in a situation where she has to look after her niece. I was wrong. In the end, I shed a lot of tears caused by sadness. Those 44 minutes were filled with a lovely but very sad story.

I simply write this review

I simply write this review so this excelent movie gets more recognition. This drama is until now not subbed and it´s a shame, because from what i understood it´s a really good movie. I can´t really tell much about the story because i don´t understand japanese and i don´t speak japanese.
English is not my first language, so please if there are any grammar mistakes, tell me or ignore it. Thank you :)

From what i can tell about the story is that. Homare Shishio(Sherlock) and Wakamiya Junichi(Watson) go on a small Island to investigate the attempt kidnapping of a young woman. I can´t tell how the Hound of the Baskerville fits into the story and he only appeared for like 10 mins, but i need to say i skipped through much of the movie since i couldn´t understand the dialogs, so maybe the Hound is longer there but i just skipped it. So they investigate sperated again like in the drama itselfe, Shishio in the little Village and Junichi in the villa. I don´t know for sure how it comes to this, but Junichi goes into the mountains, where the Hound was seen, I think Shishio called him there and suddenly Junichi was chased by the "Hound" (it was like in every adaption of Sherlock a simple trick). In an abandon tunnel he then meets Shishio again and they solve the case. Even though I put a few spoiler in this review, i will not tell you the end. That is something you need to see for yourself. :)

For the acting I need to say. It was really good and i just love the little hate-bromance between Shishio and Junichi.
I didn´t pay attention to the music but the ost for the credits was actually really good.
And for the last scentence, I will deffently watch the movie again when he is finally subbed somewhere.

Definiton of Failed Potential

Before anyone gets upset at my review please understand that this review is coming from a place of no bias. I haven't watched anything from this director before, I have not read the manga, and I have no attachment to any of the actors. Full disclosure I have an attachment to 2 actors in this movie but they played (borderline) nameless characters that die within the first 10 minutes of them first appearing on screen. That being said, this movie is just wasted potential. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it but it could've been so much better if it WASN'T a movie. It's already hard in nature to make a written piece of media, into a visual form of entertainment, but to try to cram it all into one 2-hour long movie...wild. I'm a very sensitive person who cries easily at movies...not once did I cry in this movie. Not a single thing affected me deeply because I wasn't given enough to time to form attachments to that character. I wish I could've gotten to see these characters get fleshed out more. The entire movie was just running from one game to another. There should've been gaps in-between for us to learn more about each character. This would've made the deaths in this movie a lot more impactful. But then again, there's only so much they can do with such little time. That's why a show adaptation would've been a much better decision for movie.

In conclusion, it was an enjoyable movie but it's hard to form attachments due to how rushed the movie is in moving from point A to point B.

Just under an hour of absolutely nothing happening

This was on TV in my country (I'm from northern Europe) so I got curious and watched it because there aren't a lot of Asian movies on TV here. It was so boring that it's actually almost impressive. The black and white filming and essentially no music were, uh, interesting choices that did nothing for this movie. In fact they maybe even made it worse.

The story goes nowhere, and you learn almost nothing about the characters. Their personalities and goals are pretty much all unknown. I literally just finished this movie like 5 minutes ago and I probably couldn't name any of the characters other than the "main character" Jongho. Though even calling him a main character is kind of reaching in my opinion. There is no real substance in any of the roles.

On top of all this, the dialogue and interactions between the characters feel extremely stiff and awkward. I think this is supposed to be some kind of art film, but I honestly don't see what the writers and directors were going for. The cinematography could have had potential to be very beautiful, but it suffers from the black and white colour scheme, and the relationships between the characters are not in any way deep or meaningful enough to be considered art.

So yeah anyway, it's a no from me, dawg.

Idiot in Love makes a bunch of stupid decisions

Well this movie is depressing, slice of life romance about a guy who may have a kind heart but is a complete fool and does not know how to communicate, handle liquor and thinks buying a woman's body to blow off some steam is a reasonable way of doing things...

The female lead is kind of cool, I do not really get what made her fall in love with the fool but I do feel for her. I also feel for the fool as his way of buying women and making stupid probably is a reflection of the environment he is in rather his true self, whatever that is... So I did find myself shedding a small tear.

So if you are in the mood for some ugly clothing, depressing lighting and a not so happy story of fool falls in love... this is indeed a place to find it.

It is what it is...

What do you get when you mix "She's All That" and "10 things I Hate About You" and add a bunch of words in Tagalog?

Well this, definitely this a lovely teen drama with cliches and things you have seen as far as the eyes can see with a few fun takes, entertaining, cringey, predictable... Oh so predictable, honestly I could probably say their lines before they said them even though it was my first time watching this movie.

However I was entertained and at the moment in desperate need of mindless, bad boy goes soft so it hit just the right spot. So a part of me loved it.

Do I recommend it? Probably not, but if you are in the mood for exactly this (as I was) then yes go for it, as it will deliver exactly what it promises. For those who want substance, or quality of any kind this is not the place you will find it (no offence).

not that deep

everybody keeps on claiming that it has depth, a background or a solid logical base. no my lads, it doesn't. a doctor tries ro implement will to live thru r@pe. it feels lije somebody wrote smut and then tried to add some plot or a base to it. theres no match, pacing sucks, holes in the plot timeline... there was no real shift to affection, no post trauma behavioral disorders or any legit reaction- even stocholm syndrome would make sense in this unimportant piece of work but no, they skipped it for the sake of "good mutual fixed love ending". nobody needed a happy ending, nobody even expected it. they could stick to a effed storyline and make it all about ass@ult or whatever but no, they have to establish all them cute tropes.

sometimes i write last minute essays on my phone- but even them have a better plot structure than this thing. if any of you dig into this movie and find something of value- it is not because of the movie, but it is your own productive and logical thinking skills. Superficial and boring, but yea hornyjail.

Life, Lust, Cancer an a whole lot of bad relationships

There may be a gay relationship in this drama but this is definitely not a romance, or a very pleasurable watch it is more of an artistic, raw depiction of relationships, cancer and figuring out life around it.

To be honest some of the editing will make your head spin being a little bit too artistic and the nudity is pretty much in your face with a lot of heavy breathing and sexual content this is not the typical movie about cancer, having it start of with in loving memory of the writer of it makes it feel just a little bit more real as you know there will not really be a happy well anything in this.

Though there are a few moments of love and support (very few) most of this movie is pain, being taken advantage of and more pain. I love how they show us that contrary to what people often believe or is shown in other movies getting diagnosed with cancer does not automatically cure the broken relationships of the past. This movie even had me thinking who the h*** wrote loving memory when nobody around him seems to care.

Turning this otherwise oddly paced, a bit to artistic feel to it movie in to something worth so much more than most movies out there that show illness. Making me want to recommend it to any one in the mature audience as it has some pretty extreme shots of both sexual content and other situations that are definitely not appropriate to watch without proper guidance of a mature adult. As it is 18 + for a bunch of reasons.

There are also a bunch of pretty shots of scenery and some beautiful artistic nudity too, as not all are raw and in your face... + it does seem to show life with a stoma in a sad but beautiful way.

So watch this for its story when you are up for an artistic yet probably realistic depiction of Life, Lust, Cancer... And a whole lot of bad relationships.

P.S: What takes away points it the too artistic at times, a bit too much nudity and the odd pacing.

People do seem to feel attraction

This short film is oddly slow paced, and most of the attraction is shown by use of gaze. There is not a lot of dialog and I found myself going back to see if I missed something in there, as I find myself confused at the end.

What actually happened?
Why did it happen?
Was it all just attraction?
Or was there more action between the lines that I just did not really get?


So this review may be completely meaningless but for you watching this thinking you will get a 14 minute romance, this is not the place to go but if you want to watch people feeling attraction in situations that they probably should not act upon this is a good place to look for it. Maybe my confusion is that the gazes seemed to show me longing more than attraction...

Wonderfully Stupid

Is it a masterpiece? No.

But was it the perfect comedy to unwind on a Sunday evening? Absolutely.

I’m not a big horror person, but I love objectively silly zombie films “Shaun of the Dead” and “warm bodies”; there were parts in this movie that reminded me of both, so I was sold. If you like these movies and Korean media, I think you’ll like this one. I watched it on Amazon prime uk, which it is free on at the time of writing this, under the regional name of “zombie for sale” rather than the one listed here.

I saw a clip of it online that made me laugh, and I’m glad it made me watch. The ending was perfect. Definitely give it a chance if you’re not sure what to watch this evening.
