Tennen Kokekko - JMovie - Takes place in a village where the main girl's school only has 6 students in it, including her. One day, a new boy from Tokyo transfers into her class and :shock: he's in her grade/her age! It's a simple, slower-paced movie than most, but it's really cute. Plus, it introduced me to Kaho, and now Kaho and Okada Masaki (the main characters in TK) will be in an upcoming drama together!

Night Time Picnic/Yoru no Pikunikku - JMovie - "Students at a Japanese high school take part in a yearly 80-kilometer walk which lasts throughout a day and night. The long marathon is known to make people admit their true feelings to each other, and everyone around Takako (Mikako Tabe) and Nishiwaki (Takuya Ishida) seems to think the two have some feelings for each other they need to work out."

So I shamelessly stole this from somewhere else because I am CRAP at summarizing movies. XD Because to me, summaries = essays. Anyway, this is another very simple, slow-paced movie. Obviously I love those the most. It takes place mostly in 1 day/night with scenes interspersed from other time frames. Also, if you decide to pick this to watch, I would advise not trying to find other plot summaries of it, because then it'll ruin the subtle twist. ^^

The King and the Clown - kmovie. Set in ancient day Korea about 2 clowns who puts on a play that satirizes the king and are arrested. They are given the chance to be pardoned if they can make the king laugh. The rest of the plot deals with jealousy, court politics, and friendship. There's homosexual overtones, which makes it that much more interesting.

Lee Jun Ki was brilliant as the beautiful, effeminate one of the 2 clowns. I never realized how great of an actor he was until I saw this movie. There's enough drama and plot twists the feed your appetites.

It's just such a beautiful movie, my little snippet doesn't do it any justice.

Intriguing plot! Plus, Lee Jun Ki! I'm currently in the middle of My Girl but I can totally imagine him doing a good witty sort of clown. :D

Ironically, much as I liked Lee Junki in there, this movie made it hard for me to like his other works, coz he's soooo pretty, I can't see him as anything other than a pretty boy /rich man character.

My Mighty Princess (kmovie): romance, martial arts, humour. I ♥ this movie so much, and am determined to get someone--anyone!--to watch it.

YES

YES. If only because I adore Shin Min Ah and I'd watch this movie again and again just for her adorable self.

Re: YES

I'm so glad to have found someone else who likes this movie. I felt so alone!

YES, good three word description!

[topazera]

LMAO! I just looked at the first six caps of your spam and was sold on this movie! I just don't know if I should wait and see if we pick this soon or if I'll go ahead and wind up watching it on my own. DECISIONS.

Kamikaze Girls (jmovie): Momoko is a gothic lolita, Ichigo is a biker, and they make the unlikeliest of friends. Very pretty, with a nice focus on the girls. A bit slow at spots, but the ending is awesome.
