Movie Reviews

What would you do if you had the ability to turn back time? Get to school earlier? Score better on a test? Or perhaps sing endless amounts of karaoke?
The Girl Who Leapt Through Time is a story about Makoto Konno, your average (if not somewhat tomboyish) high school student. One day, after an […]

Tokyo Godfathers is the story of a not so ordinary group of homeless in Tokyo. United by common misfortune, three bums and an abandoned baby learn about life, truth, and family. A man who abandoned his family, a homosexual who wishes to be a mother, a child runaway, and a foundling may not be a conventional family, but with love and luck they may make it work.

I watched this movie a couple of years ago but I watched it again just for the sake of writing this article. I bought this video from a friend but I didn’t have any idea what it was all about.
