Review: Kotonoha no Niwa (The Garden of Words)

Kotonoha no Niwa (The Garden of Words) is Makoto Shinkai's 2013 release. It's a typical Shinkai love story because the characters don't end up together. (A love story is different from a romance because the latter requires that its characters end up together.)

Review: Possible Academy Award Nominations for Rush

YouTube

As a relatively new Formula 1 fan (thanks to the documentary Senna, and of course to Sue Denim), 2013 is my first real season. My only regret is that I didn't become a petrolhead earlier.

When crashes and deaths were part of an ordinary day in the office.

Rush may not score big in box office returns, but will very likely be nominated for more than one Academy Award. And these nominations are:

Best Actor in a Leading Role

Daniel Brühl as Niki Lauda

"Yes, I look a bit like a young Christopher Reeve. So what?"

I want one of them helmets.

Review: R.I.P.D.

R.I.P.D. literally stands for "Rest In Peace Department". And for good reason. They deal with the Dead-O's (the undead, or more specifically, the dead spirits who came back here in another form.)

Not the kind of dead-o that you're thinking about.

They're kinda' like the aliens in M.I.B. where somebody has to keep the freaky-looking weirdos in check or else chaos ensues.

Review: RED 2

This sequel couldn't get any better! Magnificent plot! Though the action looks kinda' cliche. But still, better than action porn or any type of porn!

I tend to disagree.
