Movies watched week ending Saturday February 18, 2017.
Cameraperson (2016) by Kristen Johnson, who is Michael Moore's usual camera person. It's a meadering autobiography of her work and herself, told from film footage from her years of work. Not great buit still very interesting when you review what she chose from all the films she has done over the years.
With Bill at our Anime Asian Movie Night.
Kakurenbo (2005) by Shuhei Morita."A young boy named Hikora enters the ruins of a forbidden city with a group of other children to play "Otokoyo" (a game of hide-and-seek where the players are said to be kidnapped by ghosts and demons) to find his missing sister." Lot's of atmospher and very creepy. Been looking for this one for a long time and finally bought it from a private seller on Amazon.
Train to Busan (2016) by Sang-ho Yeon. "Sok-woo and his daughter Soo-ahn are boarding the KTX, a fast train that shall bring them from Seoul to Busan. But during their journey, the train is overrun by zombies which kill several of the train staff and other passengers.While the KTX is shooting towards Busan, the passengers have to fight for their lives against the zombies." I wanted to see this last year at Fantasia International Film Festival but it wasn't playing on the weekend we went. This was good from the get go. Family disfunction is repaired as the train chugs it's way to the promised safe haven of Busan while the survivors are picked off one by one by the infected. Every zombie movie trope checked off the list. You could tell the zombie actors had a blast being zombies. We watched the Making of video and I appreciate the hard work in a tight setting like a train car was on cast an crew.
