Finding Dory ファインディング・ドリー


Such a colorful, fun and entertaining animation. This one is more to kids than "Finding Nemo(ファインディング・ニモ)". "Nemo" was more realistic and smarter while this one takes its premise more optimistic and more adventurous. Voice acting was superb, visuals were amazing and there were some interesting and very impressive action sequences.

Irrational Man 教授のおかしな妄想殺人


This film fits majestically within possibly Woody Allen(ウディ・アレン)'s most noble ambition: to have the same movie be as good a comedy as it is a tragedy as it is a story of triumph. In other words, it's an ambitious script. Joaquin Phoenix(ホアキン・フェニックス) and Emma Stone(エマ・ストーン) are clearly enjoying themselves as the grumpy philosophy professor and his admiring student and lover. Allen's script plays in a lighthearted way with serious philosophical concepts such as guilt, evil and righteousness. Also, he throws in a murder mystery and makes the suspense last until the very end.

Ex Machina エクス・マキナ


"Ex Machina" deals with a familiar theme in a very unique way. It focuses on the subtle and nuanced performances of its tiny cast as the film explores what it means to be human. Performances from all three leads are flawless and excellent, most notably Alicia Vikander(アリシア・ヴィカンダー)as the beguiling Ava, who absolutely passes for being almost human. Her precise movements have a tinge of a mechanical skeleton, yet she is undeniably seductive. The very goo writing underpins the success of the film, and the dialogue feels real and non-cliché. Another very impressive science fiction for those who appreciate the genre's more cerebral side.
