Japachickyburgers: Berserk: Egg of the King

Berserk: Egg of the King. ベルセルク覇王の卵 Toshiyuki Kubooka, 2012. Movie would be bearable because they will condense it into film length and drop all the filler right? The film is set an unspecified kingdom/land, but a blind man could see the medieval. A mysterious “dude looks like a lady” warrior with an equally mysterious egg necklace. It is from this McGuffin that our film takes its name and not much else. At least give me a double bill! Or something. But then, maybe it is more self aware than I’...And Jul...

Japachickyburgers: May 2012

Wim Wenders, 1985. I have just watched german filmmaker Wim Wenders’ documentary Tokyo-Ga. Wenders manages to open his film reasonably well.

However, his inclusion of an overly long clip from Ozu’s Tokyo Story. I have been to Tokyo four times t...

Japachickyburgers: July 2012
http://japachickyburgers.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
The Melbourne International Film Festival kicks off next week and there are a grand total of nine Japanese films. Although some of which are co-productions). I will be endeavouring to see every single one, so stay tuned. Among the nine films showing are not one, not two, but THREE Takashi Miike films (seriously, that man is a one man film making factory) including his adaptation of the popular Nintendo DS game Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. Which looks like a lot of fun. In 3D, no less! Sion Sono, 2010.

Nomad v.o.m.i.t . Monday, 30 March 2009. No great insights into cinema or gay semiotics,. I'm too dazed by the American team's routine! After nothing but good word and various stints at the film festivals worth their salt, I gave . 160;a go at this year's Melbourne . It was well cast and with . One or two striking scenes. Still undecided if it was comforting or depressing that so many of these movie goers fit the Lesbian style stereotypes to a tee. I suppose it's a proud uniform of sorts...More film s...
