before i comment on this film, i will point out firstly that i have not watch the previous film but despite this the film is self explanatory i would conclude and like a television show explains itself in great detail in the first few minutes. secondly the film with in the first 10 minutes i realised that it was making fun of itself in a blatantly obvious way and this is something a appreciated greatly. i will be watching the next movie with great anticipation, the characters overreacting and interaction with each other held no boundaries but why should it. the acting was raw, intense and experimental at times ( sometimes the jokes worked and at time they didn't but there was so much to take in that you didn't have chances to be disappointed). i review Erika Toda in the Liar Game where she seemed like a naive character but in Spec; Erika Toda is a completely different characters, she is more confident character who is ready for action.Chaiki Kuriyama did not have a big part in the movie but because it is continuous story i didn't think that this matter because the story was interesting if not beqarar at times.the over light-hearted narrative was engaging, with random moments like the grandmother with grenade which no one questions and why should they? Spec is a movie that i have wanted to watch for a while and it did not disappoint. it is unique to say the least and worth a watch.

Ultra Miracle Love Story (2009)

All this nonsense about cabbage's with brains

and people with no brains

I think that makes a whole lot of something?




ultar love story is a film i have been meaning to watch for a while and i really had to force myself to watch this film for many reasons. reason one is because even though it had my favorite actor in it, it felt like a child had written the script and my attention kept wondering off the screen toward other distraction. the film is not a love story and it makes you ask more question's about the characters then any other film; kenishi's character spends the whole film obsessing about about vegetables and acting so childish that he thinks it is a good idea to spray himself with pesticide.kumiko's charmer on the other hand was a straight laced characters, even though i have seen her in simulator roles, her character is usually bizarrely quirky in some way and she was a little to seriou in this role but saying that i think would be impossible to comment with a character like kenishi's who was constantly bouncing off the walls (that's not metaphorical in anyway shape or form). i am disappointed because of the shear fact that this film had two of my favorite actors are in the film but it was not how i envisioned it to be and there was not real acting chemistry between them. the film should be called either the "complex life of the cabbage patch kid" or "killer cabbage ate my brain" because those titles describe the film better i think.
