I joined my high school reunion held at Akihabara UDX today, and enjoyed meeting our 406 alumni, who have been successful in their own fields since graduation, while enjoying three lectures by our wonderful alumni, Mr. Hiroyuki Nemoto, a popular psychological counselor, and Mr. Makoto Sahara, a specialist in general medicine and cardiovascular internal medicine, also a fellow of American Heart Association, and Mr. Hideki Kojima, Chofu Community Beekeeping School principal. I also appreciated their carefully selected high-quality Japanese Sake at their fulfilling Sake section, and am really grateful for such a stimulating time. Wishing all of our alumni continued success and prosperity.

Unfriended: Dark Web アンフレンデッド: ダークウェブ

A teen comes into possession of a new laptop and soon discovers that the previous owner is not only watching him, but will also do anything to get it back. Considering that the original movie was a huge commercial success it's no wonder a sequel was made. It maintains the same appearance but the supernatural element got more modern, stylish, and smart.

The Mule 運び屋

A 90-year-old horticulturist and Korean War veteran turns drug mule for a Mexican cartel. Clint Eastwood（クリント･イーストウッド）is definitely one of the most iconic figures in movie cinema, and his ability to keep directing movies at near 90 years of age is just astonishing. The performance from the cast and Clint Eastwood was solid, and the story was moving and realistic.
