Finally got some time to catch up the spin off the movie Death Note: L.Change The World ..

What can I say ..
It have nothing to do with the Death Note
Only L is the same the rest is new LOL

The movie was good but sometimes it's a little bit slow in the middle of the show.
And sometimes its so disgusting ...
The way they were infected looks more like a horror movie
I like it when the 3 are escaping together to find the doctor
The band they slowly make with each other was just so .....
I like the pink car!! It's so funny and cute!

I think it's so stupid that 'near' got not so many screen
I think they can make another spin off of it ..
Like when L dead Near take his place ..

I still like Kenichi more in Kaiji ..
Although he only got 30 minutes in that movie LOL
I'm so jealous!! HAHAHA

Youki Kudoh was in Rush Hour 3?
As the dragon lady?
I watch it back @ youtube ..
Ahhh I remember it!!

I don't know when I watched this I just know everything ..
It can't be I watched it before .. RIGHT?
Or it's like the movie?
IT CAN'T BE!!!
Oh gosh I can't remember it anymore ...

I like this part more than the previous part ..
There was more action in it ..
The start with 'second' Kira was already good ..
It was really 'thrilling' to kill like that!!
In the middle of the movie.
There was a part when it was a little bit boring
When they keep Misa & Light in 'the rooms' to check if the murders stop.

Rem is actually so cute!
I hate when Light used him and he disappear in sand!!

The ending was expected if you read the manga before.
Actually the manga was more interesting LOL


2 movies on a night!!
Next time I'm gonna watch L: Change The World!

I have no comment on the cast this time!
Oh well Ai Maedi was in here ..
And I only saw her in one scene!? LOL
I love her in Battle Royale?

And about the poster?
The director and the anchorman shouldn't be on the poster LOL

I finally got this movie on DVD
Together with The Last Name & L: Change The World

This movie is based on the best selling manga written by Tsugumi Ohba and illustrated by Takeshi Obata
I read the manga before so I know how it is
There are similar parts but its different ..
Well actually I can't remember it anymore
Such a so long time ago ...

The movie was in my opinion quite boring
The first 100 minutes were ... to slow?
It was all about Light ..
L, Asaka & Misa appearance are way to late
Or the movie was just to long?
It was an open ending so after it I continue with The Last Name
I will write the review in my next entry ...

The best part of the movie were the scenes with FBI agent Raye
The cruel plan from L ..
BUT outstanding scenes were it while on the metro!!
So thrilling ....

I asked myself would you used it when u got the notebook in your hand?
I think L was very cruel when he use Shiori as 'hostage' and just sacrificed her!

I specially bought this movie because Tatsuya ..
I'm a 'huge' fan of him!!
In total I got 7 movies of him ...
This is the first time I see him in an 'evil' role!!

His performance is just so great
Doesn't matter it's evil or kind!!


I saw Kenichi together with Tatsuya in Kaiji
And he was in the news when he married 10 years his senior Koyuki
But anyway he's just so different from his role in Kaiji ..
I really can't recognize him ..
L is cute/weird and Sahara is HOT ^.^

I saw Yu Kashii in Yukan Club before
But I just can't recognize her till I saw her movie list ..
It's actually the second time I see a movie/drama who someone calls Shiori ..
Battle Royale and here ..
Shiori is a part of my username on many site hehe !

Erika Toda actuallly only have a cameo in here
Because she only appear I guess 10 minutes
In the next one she will appear more!

Seems I also saw Asaka Seto in One Missed Call 2 before

Summary:
A death god dropped his note book @ earth and is picked up by law student Light.
The name that written in it will die. In first sake it was to kill all the criminals to create a better world.
But when the mysterious 'detective' L is hunting for the 'Kira' behind all the mysterious murder.
Light not only 'killing' criminals but every one who's in his way ..
What will be the results from L VS Light?

#1757 Kokusai

After 13 days I finally got a day off!!
I hate all the holi'days' ...

Today I just got a dinner with 'friends' from Korean School.
My teacher is also my friend I think?
And also a friend of her ...

We went to Kokusai
An 'All You Can Eat' restaurant in Amstelveen.
It's near my school ...


What about the food?
The food was OK ..
I just missed the scallops sushi
And to less Cheese sushi's
AND THE ICE CREAM WASN'T INCLUDED!
Further it was OK ...

Well it was very enjoyable
It's actually the first time to eat with a big group from Korean School
And because I hardly know the other 3 ..Only Jessica and JW from my class
BUT it was fun all that chit chat ^.^
We should do it more next time ..
Sometimes I hate my busy schedule ..
Well busy it's more work work ... 

I haven't take many pictures

So must meet the next time!!

So we can take more!!

And thanks Uncle Mike for the ride ^.^

And as result:

Omurice with seaweed salad

It was actually quite easy to make

Only to many steps to handle ..

 I love it ..

I think it's weird to eat egg with ketchup

BUT this is good

Even the tomato in the rice is tasty

And I'm a person that not really like tomato

Definitely gonna make it again!

#1668 Sushi Time!!

Should I count my day off?
Hmm, well it's my 3rd day off!!

So we skip that and only have dinner!

We had dinner @ Genroku
YES sushi time!!
That's a long time ago!!!
I still loving it ~~~





I haven't go to Genroku a while!!
The menu card is a little bit different!!
OMG I just love the cream cheese sushi!

It was really a nice day
With many talks!!
And we finished the day with Starbucks ^^

#1662 Japan VS Korea

#1649 10 Years Love

Title: 10 Years Love
Japanese Title: 十年愛/Juunen Ai
Year: 2008
Country: Japan
Running Time: 75 min
Director: Ataru Ueda
Genre: Drama/Erotic
Rating: 7.9

This is my first movie from this new year.
First movie after 3 months and Japanese one after 5 months

I probably got problems watching the movie
Because I watched it with Chinese Subtitles
And u all know I understand it but hardly can read!
And it was in Simplified Chinese also ..
BUT unfortunately I guess I understand 95% of it
It was just easy conversations and talk LOL

10 Years Love is based on a manga by Kurashina Ryo
This movie is 18+ rated I think
So it's not suitable for children
There's too much nude and sex scenes

It's not porn!!
Just an erotic drama with a 'sad' story
It's not really sad
BUT I think it got a good story line
That probably often happen in real life LOL
What a girl can do for a boy is just so much courage!

The whole movie is a flashback story
How it start, how it end ..
It just got a so sad ending in the flashback!
BUT if you look good she knows that it gonna happen
She was just happy that he left something for her
That made it a little good of the ending
But still sad!!

Great acting from Mari Sakurai
She looks like a bit @ HK star Nathalie Tong or Selana Li LOL
Is she an AV star?
I only envy Sora Aoi LOL ... Joke Joke
I only know her because she share the same birthday ^^




Summary:
Mari is a third grade high school, who is in love with popular soccer team captain Takagi. After Takagi missing a penalty kick during a championship, he turns into a loser left by his friends. Because Mari deeply loves Hiroya, She decides to become a vent for his sex. Unfortunately, Mari loses connection with Takagi after graduation; she keeps searching him in Shinjuku.

Summary:
Kaiji is a man who leads a hand-to-mouth existence working half-heartedly at his part-time job at a convenience store. One day, the president of an unscrupulous loan company, named Rinko Endo comes to Kaiji and demands that he clear a debt he cosigned for a friend. With the company's exorbitant interest rate, the amount blown up to 2.02 million yen. Kaiji has no way of getting hold of such money. Endo then says everything will become clear if he boards a ship that leaves at Harumi Port in a few hours. The ship's named Espoir, which means "hope" in French. Kaiji is skeptical at first but when Endo tells him that "it is his change to change his life" he makes up his mind to accept the invitation. That night's game is 'Rock Paper Scissors'. The players are given 12 cards and 3 star badges. The stars are bet as collateral. The players win if they lose all the cards and have at least 3 stars left at the end of the game.. If not, they will be sent to the feared backroom, where they will be forced into hard labor that denies their dignity as human beings for the next few decades. But for Kaiji this "ultimate game that could turn his life around" is merely a prelude. Soon the players are caught up in the violent of whirlwind of fate ...
