Attack on Titan The Last Attack - 9/10
This is exactly what it was advertised to be, a compilation of the last two specials. It was great to watch Attack on Titan on the big screen in a movie theater, and the post-credits scene was quite funny.

Leap Year
9 out 10
Starring: Amy Adams
It is a feel good rom com, but its fun and in Ireland! In every movie there is a line that sticks with you, that is worth ruminating and the one in this film is, "if you had only 60 seconds to grab anything in your burning house or apartment, what would you grab?"

Her Blue Sky
From the creative team behind the beloved anime Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day, once again we are treated to a story about moving on from childhood regrets and accepting love. Mari Okada's writing has often been considered a bit of an acquired taste, but the distinct character work and ultimately tactful handling of difficult topics is something she excels with. This is no exception and in a more condensed form of a movie still feels like it has the room to breath for what occurs within to matter. Would heavily recommend a watch.

Oh, man, adding this to my watch list. Anohana was one of the best anime I've watched in the past few years.

Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
Rating: 5 out 10 (use to be 9 out of 10)
This use to be my favorite prequel, I even mastered using Anakin's damaged Praetor hilt lightsaber in duels, and sport his hair right now. Upon re-watching, the transition to the Galactic Empire and Anakin's fall is too abrupt, you go from first quarter of movie feeling like a follow up to Attack of the Clones, and then you have literally in some scenes such radical shifts, you have Palpatine worried Anakin will kill him saying, "If one is to understand the great mystery, one must embrace a larger view of the Force, not just the Dogmatic view of the Jedi," to "learn to use the dark side of the force and you will be able to save your wife from certain death." This is too abrupt a transition in minutes, that line about save your wife should have waited till the confrontation in his office when Anakin arrives, and the revelation Palpatine knows Anakin is married would help tip him over the edge. Palpatine suddenly going anti Jedi is too abrupt, when in the optics they rescued him from Grievous at the beginning, a better way to do it is Mace Windu who kept verging dark, suggesting, "The Jedi will have to take over Senate to bring about peaceful transition," and "He is too dangerous to be left alive." Use Mace and his strike team as what Palpatine needs to turn public opinion against the Jedi (which he does, but make it the watershed moment) and leave out he suddenly mistrusts them and puts Anakin on the Council.
Much of movie is like this, too abrupt of a shift, it need a Mini Series or at least two part movie to make it believable.
I had to say it, its my least favorite prequel now, despite the quota lines that get memed a lot.
Also I agree with Ebert and Roeper when it came out, too many duels. It is interesting my estimation of this film has radically changed and here at the Twentieth Anniversary this April.

Kill Bill Volumes 1 and 2
Really good movies. The first one had some noticeable mistakes, but it's kind of hard to stay still pretending to be in a coma without moving a muscle for long periods of time. If you look closely there is some movements when she's comatose. But overall, still pretty good even when watching it when I was younger. I think I was somewhere in my preteens when I first watched it. I don't know why they decided to go to a more Western theme for the second movie. But other than those critiques, I'd give it an 8/10.

Ah. It's a really good revenge story regardless.

Albeit extremely gory, especially in Vol 1. I mean they used so much blood, they had to do parts in anime and etc to give people a break.

All About Lily Chou-Chou
What is youth? Is it innocence? Maybe it is guilt yet to be awakened? There is friendship, love, rage. Released to Japan in 2001, this unconventional digitally shot film is still prescient nearly a quarter of a century later. A tale of two youths and their intersecting admiration of fictional band Lily Chou-Chou, the layers are hidden away at first behind a simple story of a troubled youth. It takes a sudden turn to the past to a time when a well mannered boy meets a more intelligent well mannered boy. They go through school life with their friend group and half way through the film they are on a trip...and something changes as the boys experience more of the adult world. They return different...one more than the other. What once gave them something to bond over becomes a searing pain that only leads to violence. This film is violent. Awfully so, even if every visual and audio cue tell you otherwise. This film is not about Lily Chou-Chou. This film is about pain, in a mental and physical sense.

Rewatched Escape from Germany for the first time tonight with my family; last time I watched it was when it was in theaters, and I've been reminded how much I want to own it myself.
Intense movie all the way through; both times I've seen it I felt like my heart didn't slow down even once. I love it to bits. I think it's one of very few movies in the world I would give a 10/10, though I'm deeply aware that's a highly subjective ranking and anyone who is not interested in/might be triggered by religion as a motivating factor in movies would probably rank it lower.

Amarcord (1973) 9.5/10 This Absurd, nostalgic and quirky look at coming-of-age life in coastal Italy during the 1930s. I strangely felt like maybe that there are parts of this movie that could easily provide inspiration for my favorite filmmaker Wes Anderson. I give this movie a strong 9.5 not because I did not like the movie (On the contrary I actually liked it.) or the fact that there is a language barrier, but because I couldn't figure out how to engage English Subtitles on Max using my Roku Streaming Stick without having to start the movie over again from the beginning just seconds after the opening credits.
