To the true Tenka’ichi (No 1 under the Heavems… Akira Toriyama (1955-2024)
Mar 3-9
DRAGON BALL Z KAI: THE FINAL CHAPTERS (2014) “Seven Years Later Today: Gohan is now a High School Student”, “Who is the World’s Greatest? The Tournament Preliminaries Begin!”, “Everyone Is Surprised! Trunks & Goten’s Super Battle Begins!” Sequel to DRAGON BALL Z KAI, covering the DRAGON BALL Z Episodes of the Buu Arc, re-edited, rescored, and tedubbed (but not redrawn like the previous series). I watched this on Sunday, not realizing the tragedy had happened. Japanese with English Subtitles. Funimation BluRay
25TH ANNIVERSARY
HIS AND HER CIRCUMSTANCES (1999) “A Different Story So Far” YouTube
40TH ANNIVERSARY
THE JEWEL IN THE CROWN (1984) “An Evening at Marshamee” The story moves to introducing Guy Perron (Charles Dance) who will take the protagonist reins for the remainder of the Serial. Amazon Prime.
SPLASH (1984) Romantic mermaid comedy that helped cement Disney’s Touchstone Adult films (as well as the careers of Tom Hanks, John Candy, Daryl Hannah, and Director Ron Howard). First saw this on TV back in the 1980s. The memorable scene to me was “Madison” revealing her true name. Amazon Prime
50TH ANNIVERSARY
THE WORLD AT WAR (1974) “Occupation” Holland during the War. Laurence Olivier quotes a passage from Anne Frank’s Diary. YouTube
CYRANO (1974) Hanna Barbera animated adaptation, with Jose Ferrer reprising his role and the voices of Joan Van Ark and Victor Garber. My intro to the story, I first saw this on Nickelodeon’s SPECIAL DELIVERY in the Winter of 1988. The promo had a child narrating the whole plot, trying to weasel out of what happens to Cyrano. This was probably the first sad animated ending I ever saw. YouTube
The OP Quote:
MAME (1974) Film adaptation of Jerry Herman’s musical adaptation of Patrick Dennis’ novel. Starring Lucille Ball, Robert Preston, with Beatrice Arthur & Judy Connell reprising their roles. The film was a critical and financial bomb (any comments I read joked about “Loving Lucy” over this), and Ball didn’t do another feature film until STONE PILLOW in the mid 1980s. I first read of the play before I fully saw AUNTIE MAME in 1993. I got the soundtrack along with HELLO DOLLY! for Christmas 1994. I saw both film adaptations on the same day (albeit on different channels) in June 1995. On viewing, I realized Beatrice Arthur and Dorothy from THE GOLDEN GIRLS were one and the same. Warner DVD
THE PALLISERS (1974) “Part Eight” YouTube

Anatomy of a Fall (2023) Very captivating court drama that went beyond what the potential crime, in context of the relationship of people involved. Excellent performances throughout. Although, the movie could have been tightened a bit up.  The Zone of Interest (2023) A German family of a Nazi officer moved into a beautiful house during WWII. However, it was right next to a concentration camp. Is that possible to have such a house? We watched their daily life while the sound of ordeal was taking place next door. At the same time the Nazi officer struggle to maintain his position. Otherwise, nothing much happened. Sounds like a gimmick, but direction and the score made it a haunting movie.  Napoleon (2023) Two parts to the movie. First part was about Napolean and Josephine. The second part was the battles. Lavishly looking movie that left a bit emptiness to the Napolean story. Bloated is the word to described the movie. At time, the Joaquin Phoenix's Napolean seemed like a buffoon, especially when dealing with Josephine.  The Teachers' Lounge (2023) An engaging story of a young teacher trying to do the right thing in handling theft in a school. Situation spiraled downward.  The Boy and the Heron (2023) Lovely fantasy a boy trying to handle his grief. Slow and beautiful meditative imagery filled the screen. The story can get very weird.  BlackBerry (2023) Thanks to some of the year-end lists recommendation that I came across this small film about the rise and fall of the Blackberry cell phone. A businessman with shady character joined force with a bunch of tech geeks to lauch this company. Very snappy, and funny at times.  Talk to Me (2022) A bunch of kids played with fire by connecting with the spirit and had a good laugh at it. Instead of a Oujii board, they connected with a sculpture of a hand. Quite good actually, with the main story about a girl who is dealing with her grief of losing her mom.  The Creator (2023) A blend of Blade Runner and Ex Machina. People vs the robot. One man met with a little girl robot who may know what happened to his pregnant wife. Exceptional visually, but the movie could have been much better.  |
