DVD review "Gang Of NewYork"

I watched "Gang Of NewYork" on DVD tonight. I felt this movie was too long to keep my concentration. The theme seemed to be one of things that I can't understand due to the difference of region, age, culture etc. that I was brought up.

DVD review "World Trade Center"

I felt that "World Trade Center" was a very realistic movie directed by Olvier Stone. This movie is from a real life. I like this kind of drama. From the point of view as the entertainment movie, it should be directed to enjoy the viewer but the true story is so persuasive that the viewer can satisfy. I surprised their astonishing toghnesses. Their adomirable lives of the survivors of the tragedy give us huge power to live. It seemed for me that the cruel fact come into my heart more rather than what the directer wanted to tell. This time, the director Oliver Stone just might want to tell the fact itself.

DVD review "The Sentinel"

For me, Kiefer Sutherland is Jack Bauer of CTU. In "The Sentinel", Jack protected Mr. president of the US this time either. On the way home, I felt that I wanted to wath the action movie tonight. It is a good movie to see when you don't think about anything, just want to be into the movie. You can give the passing score to it instead of not getting the originality. I came to be tempted to see 24 season6 as soon as I can.

movie review "The Police Inside Out"

I went to see a documentary film "The Police Inside Out" tonight. I am neither a fan of The Police nor Sting, but my friend invited me again because she've got 2 invitation tickets for the movie. I know that The Police was a famous rock group, but I was too little to listen their music in their heyday. I may know their songs after they broke up. The movie was produced by Stewart Copeland who was ex-drummer of The Police. He was not a professional of the film making, of course, the quality of the film was not good. On the other hand, there is only a thing he can express through his camera as a nonprofessional person at the same time as a member of The Police. The young men rushing through over the world with their dreams cheered anyone up.

Classical Japanese dance

I got to know a master of Classical Japanese dance these days. Honestly I am not interested in Classical Japanese dance. I'm rather interested in ballet or modern dance than that. I want to wear kimono by myself, that means I want to learn dressing kimono, kitsuke in Japanese for wearing kimono by oneself. She is not a teacher of dressing but a master of Classical Japanese dance. Besides she was inviting her new student. She told that she didn't mind if I was interested in just kitsuke, she would like to talk turkey. She come from a very traditional school of Classical Japanese dance. Both her mother and her grand-mother were masters of it. So she also have to looking for more students for herself. I met her with my friends who were interested in kitsuke this afternoon. After all, we started learning Classical Japanese dance from May. The key point was that I want to wear kimono or to make wear kimono. That is, dressing school teaches the way of putting on a kimono to look gloumorous. Meanwhile, in Classical Japanese dance, you wear kimono to dance and do ordinary thing, not to show someone the kimono. No women now wear kimono as a daily clothing since European clothing is easier to move than Japanese kimono. You can take a small bottle of soysauce without paying any attention when you are at the table, however you have to pick your sleeve up because you keep your sleeve from touching dishes on the table. This is a kind of manner. You can't do it if you get used to it. She told that you had better see Classical Japanese dance as a learning of such a graceful carriage suited for kimono. Anyway I will try it.

DVD review "INSIDEMAN"

I saw "INSIDEMAN" on DVD tonight, directed by Spike Lee. I have ever seen some Spike Lee film. The dynamic camera work was good just like him to do that. The story is not like him. It was a suspense film which was addressed a perfect crime without murder. It is worth seeing.
