Tinker Bell and the Legend of the Neverbeast ティンカー・ベルと流れ星の伝説


This film contained a level of emotion and depth that isn't always present in the other Tinkerbell movies, still it contained that spunky Tinkerbell Charm. Also it contains morals and values for kids to learn like all the other Disney movies. You will have a new-found appreciation for Fawn and her compassion for animals of all shapes and sizes. As the synopsis briefly describes, you can never judge a book by it's cover.

Annie アニー


Academy Award nominee Quvenzhané Wallis(クヮヴェンジャネ・ウォレス)stars as Annie, a young, happy foster kid who is tough enough to make her way on the streets of New York in 2014, co-starring with Cameron Diaz(キャメロン・ディアス)as her mean foster mother, and Jamie Foxx(ジェイミー・フォックス)as a New York mayoral candidate. If you hated the original "Annie" or if you don't care for musicals, this may not the movie for you, yet the film didn't overly mimic the original, and succeeded in containing a multi-racial cast with an African-American lead actress.

Book-Book Exchange Program 読ラボ & ブクブク交換会

I joined 'Doku Labo' for the first time last night, and received "Dan-Mitsu's Diary" from a fine lady as their 'Book-Book Exchange' Program gift. Thank you so much. I offered "Bedbug Who Wouldn't Bite" with my translation and the toy in exchange, but they were received by a businessman not a lady caring for children. Please let me take this opportunity to apologize still this might be the real thrill of 'Book-Book Exchange', where people exchange books. Luckily, I also got their free ticket for 'Ebisu English Conversation Club' and an adorable bag of candies, and appreciated their kind consideration. Especially for those who love books, why don't you join 'Book-Book Exchange' Programs to enjoy boosting exchanges?
昨晩「読ラボ」へ初参加させていただきました。ブックとブックを交換する「ブクブク交換」コーナーでは、ステキな女性から『壇密日記』を頂戴いたしまして、誠にありがとうございます。私は訳書『かまないベッドバグ』とベッドバグ・トイを用意いたしましたが、子育て中の女性ではなく、ビジネスマンの手に渡ってしまい、この場をお借りいたしましてお詫び申し上げます。とは言え、これも「ブクブク交換」の醍醐味かもしれません。幸運にも、「恵比寿英会話クラブ」の無料チケットと、かわいらしいキャンディーまでプレゼントいただきまして、感謝申し上げます。とくに本好きの方々、「ブクブク交換」系イベント、交流のお楽しみにいかがでしょうか。

Demonic ダークハウス


Demonic is a movie about a group of teenagers who decided to do summon the other spirits in a house where a mas murder happened in it while they were doing rituals to summon the demon. It has all of the horror elements. The acting was quite straight forward, and the cinematography was nice. The story is mainly told in flashback with a group of people being stuck in a dark lonely house where all the usual horror clichés happen.

Taken 3 96時間/レクイエム


"Taken 3" has some resemblance to The "Bourne Supremacy(ボーン・スプレマシー)". The chase scenes are both action-packed and intriguing. The casting is almost consistent. The addition of Forest Whitaker(フォレスト・ウィテカー)as a smart cop is something of a saving grace, and the plot has enough coherence to do the trilogy justice. Moreover, it is a joy to see Liam Neeson(リーアム・ニーソン)in this role again. There is also the enhancements in script that makes this movie above average.

Big Hero 6 ベイマックス


The movie is so well balanced, and though there isn't romance, the connections between brothers, friends and some of the other family references make it watchable for most people. It should also be an exciting watch for those who can catch on with some of the technology and subtleties. It uses animation and futurism, and there was a large Asian influence such as the city San Frantokyo. Certain goals are made in the movie and once they meet, a sudden turn is taken in an unpredictable way, making it pretty suspenseful. The interesting connection between Hiro, his brother Tadashi, and Tadashi's invention "Baymax", the worlds first robotic health care companion is also enjoyable.
