This evening I went to see Shin Kamen Rider on the big screen. It was fantastic! I didn’t know what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised at the fast-paced action, storyline, and cool effects. It’s so neat to watch a tokusatsu-style movie with today’s actors. Recommend!
Beautiful color palette and fantastic story. Suzume is a must-see!
There’s one short (a few seconds only) cloud-lapse sequence that blew me away. It was awesome.
The Japanese movie Call Me Chihiro was #1 on my recommendations on Netflix and so I decided to give it a go. What a slow and thoughtful story. I enjoyed it quite a bit! Definitely my type of movie.
Today I rewatched Lilo & Stitch. I hadn’t seen our kids were small, but I didn’t realize how great a movie it is. I found is way more emotionally moving that I remembered. And I also paid close attention to the colors in the backgrounds. So beautiful! I am going to use them as references for the painting I am working on. I know it’ll be hard to recreate them, but it’s nice to have something to shoot for.
Oh, and before I forget, I really liked the Mulan poster in Nani’s room! (Lilo & Stitch was made by the same team that made Mulan)
I went to see One Piece Film: Red with my son this evening. He’s a huge fan of One Piece so I was obligated to take him! It was a fun movie, but since I am not too familiar with One Piece, I didn’t understand all the intricacies. I know the general plot and characters so that was enough for me to follow along. Enjoyable and some great songs!
