Whilst in the middle of lockdown, zoom calls become a common way of catching up with friends and family. Tonight is Haley\u2019s turn to organise the weekly zoom meeting with her five friends. Tonight\u2019s activity, apart from drinking and gossiping, is a s\u00e9ance. Although many are skeptical of the medium Haley hires, the evening begins to take a sudden turn for the worst when during the s\u00e9ance a demonic presence is invited into each of their homes. One by one, events start to unfold that will send a shiver down through anyone's spine. All of this takes place during the zoom call, as an uninvited guest makes their presence known.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\"host_1\"<\/p>\r\n

Have you ever heard of someone making a really good horror film in just 12 weeks? It\u2019s madness! Just three months to create a script, remotely train your actors through a virtual workshop so that they know how to not only film themselves acting out their lines, but do their own stunts, camera work, lighting and effects. Now that is pressure and the actors well and truly deserve that paycheck at the end of the day. The filming style reminds me somewhat of a modern take on the Blair Witch, but instead we have webcams and a group of friends remotely communicating from each of their homes. Now filming during this current global pandemic would usually be impossible, but that did not stop the crew, actors and director of \u2018Host\u2019 from pushing through and making this film. Honestly, it was entertaining. Terrifying in parts, and I actually had to watch something more \u2018calming\u2019 before going to sleep that night. It sent chills down my spin in several moments, from the medium disappearing, to going up into the attic. This is a great film to watch for those that love a good fright.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

There is a good mix of personalities and lifestyles between this group of friends. From those that prefer to live life with an open mind, including the existence of the paranormal. To those that are more skeptical and have no problem in voicing their opinions loud & clear. Then we have those that decide that in order to add some drama to the night, they invent a story that is the lead cause to a demonic spirit crossing over and causing numerous murderous acts. You know, just your normal Friday night zoom call with the girls. Through this film we see friendships being tested and some coming to a sudden end as the evil entity goes on a rampage. Apart from the supernatural aspect, the character personalities, relationships and living situations are incredibly realistic and true to life. It makes it all the more frightening when the chaos begins.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\"host_2\"<\/p>\r\n

From being to end, \u2018Host\u2019 has been a captivating watch. From a relatable script to the sudden change to a horror film. It ticks boxes across the entire film. It is also a fresh take on what is still a new aspect of filming, through using a webcam and allowing the actors to perform all their own camera work and stunts. As though it was an \u2018amaeuter film\u2019 but made to the highest degree. The film industry is ever changing and its fantastic to see what some can do even during a global lockdown.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Having graduated from the prestigious Tokyo University, Kazuhikos\u2019 life has remained unchanged ever since he was in high school. With a lacklustre attitude towards life, he still resides in his childhood bedroom, living at home with his folks and has no job or career. However after attending a local bathhouse one night, he runs into a woman who remembers him from high school. Soon after Kazuhiko begins working at the same bathhouse, alongside a fellow new employee named Akira. With a new work routine and money in his pocket, Kazuhiko begins to enjoy his new lifestyle. That is, until he returns to work one night to discover that the bathhouse also runs as a murder grounds for the Yakuza.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\"melancholic1\"<\/p>\r\n

I must admit, I highly enjoyed this film. Although it was only filmed in 2018, it had a classic feel to it that reminded me of older mob films from the 80s and 90s. The whole idea of using a bathhouse as a place to murder certain individuals was ideal and simplistic, as it will always be easy to clean and was less likely to come under suspicion by the authorities. I highly enjoyed that idea by the script writer. It\u2019s not something I have seen before in film, but when I sit back and think about it - I\u2019m amazed I haven\u2019t come across it before. It\u2019s a film well worth rewatching time and time again, also very easy to recommend to people. The overall plot was believable, well able to keep my attention and the acting was pretty good. Especially considering how Kazuhiko character begins to gradually develop.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\"melancholic2\"<\/p>\r\n

So we begin with our lead actor Kazuhiko, whose enthusiasm towards life was heavily lacking. Even after attending the prestigious Tokyo University, which would have set him up for life if he were to apply himself to any company. He simply sat at home, he didn\u2019t seem to get any grievances from his parents who seemed to just accept the situation for what it was. Perhaps this was Kazukio\u2019s overall attitude his entire life, or maybe he was simply burnt out, I\u2019m not rightly sure. Soon after he reconnects with high school classmate Yuri, he seems to push himself forward to getting a job at the bathhouse she visits. Thus he begins to have feelings towards her and soon enough they are seeing one another outside of the bathhouse. Kazuhiko\u2019s life drastically changes even more when he uncovers the shadier side of the bathhouse. Shockingly he soon becomes involved in the whole business and even manages to put up a fight when it comes to staying involved. Truly Kazuhiko has an unusual sense of morals. We meet an interesting bunch of characters throughout this film, from those that live under the radar and have walked dangerous paths in life. To simple, hard working individuals like Kazuhikos parents and Yuri. It\u2019s a dark humored comedy, with the beginnings of a sweet coming of age romance thrown in, but not forgetting the danger with the sinister Yakuza element.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

So we have blood and gore, a number of gruesome deaths in a bathhouse, as well as knowing how they dispose of the bodies without any evidence. This single element is what I have an issue with, as the way they disposed of the bodies should have left a vulgar smell that would have been vented out of the building and noticed by the neighbourhood. This apparently wasn\u2019t even an issue in the film and was never addressed. Moving on though the most action packed scene was certainly the skirmish on the staircase, well executed and we really did get to see the full set of skills that Akira possessed. And like all decent action films, there was the inevitable twist at the end. Making this a thoroughly enjoyable watch and one I would definitely return to in the future.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Having graduated from the prestigious Tokyo University, Kazuhikos\u2019 life has remained unchanged ever since he was in high school. With a lacklustre attitude towards life, he still resides in his childhood bedroom, living at home with his folks and has no job or career. However after attending a local bathhouse one night, he runs into a woman who remembers him from high school. Soon after Kazuhiko begins working at the same bathhouse, alongside a fellow new employee named Akira. With a new work routine and money in his pocket, Kazuhiko begins to enjoy his new lifestyle. That is, until he returns to work one night to discover that the bathhouse also runs as a murder grounds for the Yakuza.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

I highly enjoyed that idea by the script writer. It\u2019s not something I have seen before in film, but when I sit back and think about it - I\u2019m amazed I haven\u2019t come across it before. It\u2019s a film well worth rewatching time and time again, also very easy to recommend to people. The overall plot was believable, well able to keep my attention and the acting was pretty good. Especially considering how Kazuhiko character begins to gradually develop.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\"melancholic2\"<\/p>\r\n

So we begin with our lead actor Kazuhiko, whose enthusiasm towards life was heavily lacking. Even after attending the prestigious Tokyo University, which would have set him up for life if he were to apply himself to any company. He simply sat at home, he didn\u2019t seem to get any grievances from his parents who seemed to just accept the situation for what it was. Perhaps this was Kazukio\u2019s overall attitude his entire life, or maybe he was simply burnt out, I\u2019m not rightly sure. Soon after he reconnects with high school classmate Yuri, he seems to push himself forward to getting a job at the bathhouse she visits. Thus he begins to have feelings towards her and soon enough they are seeing one another outside of the bathhouse. Kazuhiko\u2019s life drastically changes even more when he uncovers the shadier side of the bathhouse. Shockingly he soon becomes involved in the whole business and even manages to put up a fight when it comes to staying involved. Truly Kazuhiko has an unusual sense of morals. We meet an interesting bunch of characters throughout this film, from those that live under the radar and have walked dangerous paths in life. To simple, hard working individuals like Kazuhikos parents and Yuri. It\u2019s a dark humored comedy, with the beginnings of a sweet coming of age romance thrown in, but not forgetting the danger with the sinister Yakuza element.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

So we have blood and gore, a number of gruesome deaths in a bathhouse, as well as knowing how they dispose of the bodies without any evidence. This single element is what I have an issue with, as the way they disposed of the bodies should have left a vulgar smell that would have been vented out of the building and noticed by the neighbourhood. This apparently wasn\u2019t even an issue in the film and was never addressed. Moving on though the most action packed scene was certainly the skirmish on the staircase, well executed and we really did get to see the full set of skills that Akira possessed. And like all decent action films, there was the inevitable twist at the end. Making this a thoroughly enjoyable watch and one I would definitely return to in the future.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Whilst in the middle of lockdown, zoom calls become a common way of catching up with friends and family. Tonight is Haley\u2019s turn to organise the weekly zoom meeting with her five friends. Tonight\u2019s activity, apart from drinking and gossiping, is a s\u00e9ance. Although many are skeptical of the medium Haley hires, the evening begins to take a sudden turn for the worst when during the s\u00e9ance a demonic presence is invited into each of their homes. One by one, events start to unfold that will send a shiver down through anyone's spine. All of this takes place during the zoom call, as an uninvited guest makes their presence known.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\"host_1\"<\/p>\r\n

Have you ever heard of someone making a really good horror film in just 12 weeks? It\u2019s madness! Just three months to create a script, remotely train your actors through a virtual workshop so that they know how to not only film themselves acting out their lines, but do their own stunts, camera work, lighting and effects. Now that is pressure and the actors well and truly deserve that paycheck at the end of the day. The filming style reminds me somewhat of a modern take on the Blair Witch, but instead we have webcams and a group of friends remotely communicating from each of their homes. Now filming during this current global pandemic would usually be impossible, but that did not stop the crew, actors and director of \u2018Host\u2019 from pushing through and making this film. Honestly, it was entertaining. Terrifying in parts, and I actually had to watch something more \u2018calming\u2019 before going to sleep that night. It sent chills down my spin in several moments, from the medium disappearing, to going up into the attic. This is a great film to watch for those that love a good fright.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

There is a good mix of personalities and lifestyles between this group of friends. From those that prefer to live life with an open mind, including the existence of the paranormal. To those that are more skeptical and have no problem in voicing their opinions loud & clear. Then we have those that decide that in order to add some drama to the night, they invent a story that is the lead cause to a demonic spirit crossing over and causing numerous murderous acts. You know, just your normal Friday night zoom call with the girls. Through this film we see friendships being tested and some coming to a sudden end as the evil entity goes on a rampage. Apart from the supernatural aspect, the character personalities, relationships and living situations are incredibly realistic and true to life. It makes it all the more frightening when the chaos begins.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\"host_2\"<\/p>\r\n

From being to end, \u2018Host\u2019 has been a captivating watch. From a relatable script to the sudden change to a horror film. It ticks boxes across the entire film. It is also a fresh take on what is still a new aspect of filming, through using a webcam and allowing the actors to perform all their own camera work and stunts. As though it was an \u2018amaeuter film\u2019 but made to the highest degree. The film industry is ever changing and its fantastic to see what some can do even during a global lockdown.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The same could be said for Pat Shortt who is in the movie for all of five minutes. You know with a cast like this, that you\u2019re going to get your money\u2019s worth.

There is talk of a serial killer known as the Blissfield Butcher, who attacks and kills people around the time of Homecoming each year. It\u2019s not long before one by one, each of the teens is murdered in a pretty horrific way. The owner of the house is an exotic art collector and has many artefacts in display cases. One such artefact is a mystical dagger, and when the owner of the house returns, he finds his daughter murdered and the dagger missing.. We then meet Millie (Kathryn Newton), a seventeen year old teen who is unconfident and prone to bullying. One day after school, her mum fails to collect her and she is left waiting in the dark.. A tall and shadowy figure appears, wearing a mask and holding a knife. She runs for her life but he is too fast and soon he has her pinned to the ground. It\u2019s midnight, he stabs her.. a shadow covers the moon and there\u2019s a flash of lightning. Someone turns up and scares the Butcher away. Millie is safe but there\u2019s something very different about her..<\/span>\r\n\r\n\"Freaky\"\r\n\r\nThis new movie from Blumhouse (The Invisible Man, Ma) is a bit of a surprise really. Looking at the poster and the title, you assume that it\u2019s something in the vein of the 80s movie, Freaky Friday where a mother and daughter swap places. You\u2019d be very very wrong! Though the very basic premise is there, I think you\u2019ll find it hard to think of another film where this scenario has happened.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe Butcher (Vince Vaughn) is murderous, ruthless, and hungry for the kill and his transition into Millie\u2019s body is very believable, even down to the way she walks and carries herself whilst stalking her prey. Vince Vaughn is the perfect choice to play this psychopath who suddenly finds himself transported into the body of a teenage girl. He captures Millie\u2019s essence perfectly and is great in both roles. Kathryn Newton is fantastic too and is definitely coming into her own as a leading actress.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\"freaky2\"\r\n\r\nFans of extreme violence and bloody killings will most definitely love this film. Some of the killings are unbelievably graphic (circular saw) and admittedly I covered my eyes for that particular scene. I was a little bit surprised that the body count was as low as it was but I guess the story takes precedence.<\/span>\r\n\r\nAs someone who is not really a horror fan (I love Stephen King though) I was actually really surprised by how much I enjoyed this movie. Great story, great acting and some gory violence that will probably make you laugh out loud in places, makes this one to watch on the big screen. A great movie for a first date. ;)<\/span>\r\n\r\nOverall:<\/strong> 8.5\/10<\/span>","post_title":"Freaky Review","post_excerpt":"New movie from Blumhouse","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"freaky-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-12-05 12:28:05","post_modified_gmt":"2024-12-05 12:28:05","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=206510","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":206474,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-06-23 14:45:03","post_date_gmt":"2021-06-23 13:45:03","post_content":"Starring:<\/strong> Vin Diesel, John Cena, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris \u2018Ludacris\u2019 Bridges, Jordana Brewster, Nathalie Emmanuel, Sung Kang, Charlize Theron, Helen Mirren<\/span>\r\n\r\nDirector:<\/strong>\u00a0 Justin Lin<\/span>\r\n\r\nRelease date:<\/strong> 24th June 2021<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nIt\u2019s 1989 and at the Speedway track, Jack Toretto is driving in the final race of the season.

They prepare for the worst but are soon confronted by some very familiar faces...<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe film franchise for Fast and Furious<\/em> began back in 2001 and was originally slated as being a trilogy of films which focused on illegal street racing.

He just seems to frown a lot and look muscle-y in tight fitting black tops. Anyways, some great fight scenes but just like in the old A-Team tv series in the 80s, no-one seems to get hurt or injured. Some great locations used in the film, including a rather lovely looking Edinburgh that gets totally trashed during a chase sequence.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\"fastandfurious9_2\"\r\n\r\nThat being said, I think anyone that\u2019s followed the series and loved it will not be disappointed. It\u2019s a great movie to just leave your brain at the door and enjoy for what it is; lots of car chases, punch ups, and crazy stunts.<\/span>\r\n\r\nKeep an eye out for Dame Helen Mirren\u2019s crazy driving skills and make sure you stay til after the credits for an extra bonus little scene..<\/span>\r\n\r\nOverall:<\/strong> 8\/10<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n ","post_title":"Fast & Furious 9 Review","post_excerpt":"No one outruns their past","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"fast-furious-9-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-12-05 12:28:39","post_modified_gmt":"2024-12-05 12:28:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=206474","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":206397,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-06-11 12:42:15","post_date_gmt":"2021-06-11 11:42:15","post_content":"

Hutch Mansell (Bob Odenkirk) is an ordinary guy and every day is the same; he wakes, he works, he sleeps. His family life is strained and his relationship with his wife is almost non-existent. One night he wakes to hear a noise downstairs and goes to investigate. Armed with a golf club he sees two people dressed in black entering his home. Things kick off and his son is nearly very seriously harmed by one of the robbers during a scuffle. The other robber points a gun at the boy and Hutch is poised to strike the shooter but doesn\u2019t and the robbers both escape. His family is disappointed in him and Hutch feels like he\u2019s failed them.. He goes to visit his elderly father (Christopher Lloyd) in a rest home and on returning home, his daughter tells him that her favourite bracelet is missing and she is devastated. This flips a mental switch in Hutch\u2019s mind and he storms out of the house.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Not all is as it seems and things soon take a violent and dark turn...<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\"nobody1\"<\/p>\r\n

This is one of those movies that you should know as little about as possible before you watch it. What you think is a straight forward tale of a man whose life is mundane and empty soon becomes something totally different.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Bob Odenkirk (Better Call Saul, Nebraska) comes across as one of those unassuming guys who you wouldn\u2019t really expect to make a movie like this, but he has and is totally made for the role of this husband\/ father whose life is turned upside down after a home invasion. The movie actually starts in an interrogation room and he looks like he has had seven shades beaten out of him. He\u2019s also holding a small kitten..<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\"nobody2\"<\/p>\r\n

I have to say that this is one of my favourite movies so far this year. It has everything you want in a movie and ultimately tells us to never judge a book by its cover. What you assume to be one thing, can be the total opposite. Plus there\u2019s Christopher Lloyd as you might not have seen him before, a pretty spectacular soundtrack and a semi-camp Russian baddie.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

A fantastic movie that I would encourage everyone to go and see on the big screen, though it\u2019s possibly not for the squeamish or fans of non-violence.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

An ordinary day, in an ordinary American town.. Kids playing baseball and families spending time together. All of a sudden, there\u2019s a disturbance <\/span>up above<\/span><\/span><\/span>. What looks like a meteor, is tearing across the clear blue sky and people begin to panic and run for safety. Suddenly \u2018creatures\u2019, unlike anything anyone has ever seen appear in the streets. They kill indiscriminately and some of the locals end up huddled in a shop. This is Day 1.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Fast forward to Day 474 and we are immediately in very familiar territory. <\/span>Evelyn<\/span><\/span><\/span> (Emily Blunt) and her three children are in transit and looking for shelter and fellow survivors. The mother carries a small baby and she and her two teenage children are walking as silently as possible across rough ground trying not to attract the attention of any \u2018creatures\u2019 nearby.. they must do whatever they <\/span>need to<\/span><\/span><\/span> to survive.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

\"quietplace2_1\"<\/p>\r\n

And so we are once again reintroduced to the world of \u2018<\/span>A Quiet Place<\/i><\/span>\u2019, where making any sort of sound or noise can literally get you killed. Back in 2018 we <\/span>first met<\/span><\/span><\/span> the Abbott family and were brought into their post-apocolyptical existence. Back then there was also the dad of the family, Lee (John Krasinsky) and he did whatever needed to be done to keep his family safe. Watchers of the first film will know how his role played out.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

The beauty of this second installment includes a \u2018back in time\u2019 glimpse to a time which we were not privy to the first time around. In the first movie we were literally thrown head first into this new silent world filled with \u2018creatures from another world\u2019. It\u2019s also a bit of a rollercoaster, in that you can be happily pootling along and all of a sudden an attack will happen and it all kicks off. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\"quietplace2_2\"<\/p>\r\n

I\u2019ll be honest with you and say that I\u2019m not really a fan of horror films, which is what this is being billed as, but don\u2019t let fear get the better of you and give this one a watch. The first movie struck a huge chord with movie-goers when it came out and you definitely won\u2019t be disappointed with Part II.

\u2018One Cut of the Dead\u2019 is back once again, with a sequel that takes place just six months after the films \u2018live recording\u2019. The Higurashi family return with Mao, their over enthusiastic daughter stepping up to the directors chair when her father takes an unexpected trip in a removal van as he takes a night's rest in some unusual bedding. They gather up the original cast and crew, with the addition of some foreign talent, as they set their sights on filming their new production in Hollywood.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

With the starlet Chinatsu returning in the leading role, who travels to America, changes her hair, starts working in a restaurant and goes by the name Holly. All the while escaping her past and the horrors she witnessed in the first film.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Now I have to say, I absolutely loved the format of the first film and was thrilled to see a sequel. Seeing as we already had a fairly good introduction to the cast in the first film, you really do need to watch that before diving into the Hollywood edition. In which its their daughter Mao, who takes the reins when things really go to shit just hours before they go live on the air. Not only does she deal with the stress, chaos and even a massive incident with the leading star all on the fly - she also deals with working through a fairly big issue with her foriegn boyfriend, who also ends up playing one of the leads on \u2018her\u2019 film.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\"onecutofthedead_he1\"<\/p>\r\n

So with the returning cast of various characters, we still have a good entertaining mix of personalities for this sequel. Within the film they also still have the very awkward task of working with starlet Chinatsu, who seems to love making the film's crew work around her \u2018demands\u2019. Some of which require quite a change in the script, much to Mao\u2019s anger. Then we have Mao becoming both the saviour and real star of this film, as her father the director disappears. This girl manages to overcome all the obstacles that a live shooting brings, as well as dealing with a heartbreaking situation with her other half. Then we have the two \u2018foreign\u2019 talents in the film, who definitely add to the overall enjoyment of the film.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

So as an overall look back on the film, I have to say the first twenty minutes was hard to watch. It was so incredibly cheesy and with terrible acting, that it felt as though it was trying to make fun of itself. However those twenty minutes was the entirety of the film they were shooting live, so we saw their \u2018finished product\u2019 first before we actually got to the plot. So the film within the film, was pretty bad, but the film as a whole - t\u2019was decent. I wouldn\u2019t be rushing to go back and rewatch it anytime soon. As it hasn\u2019t surpassed the original, but at the same time it was good to just see it again and see how the characters had progressed. As Mao\u2019s character development was practically the whole point of this film, also it was so good seeing how they shot the film \u2018live\u2019 and how it all works from behind the scenes again. It certainly was a passion project. Even though this is a \u2018zombie\u2019 film, it was \u2018John\u2019s character acting that kind of eclipsed it all. I mean, the moment he was stalling in the scene outside with the zombies - he just went pure Scarface.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

On March 11th, 2011 a magnitude 9.0 earthquake occurred just off the coast of Japan, which triggered powerful tsunami waves that decimated many coastal towns and cities. Among them was the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear power plants. Within an hour of the 6 minute long earthquake, they had lost all electricity to power their necessary cooling systems for the reactors. This film reenacts the events of those faithful hours following the earthquake, as those that worked in the powerplant gave their all to protect Japan and her citizens from an event that would rival the effects of Chernobyl. Starring Ken Watanabe as the Plant Manager Yoshida, directed by Setsur\u00f3 Wakamatsu (Whiteout) and based off of the jaw-dropping book by Ryusho Kadota (On The Brink: The Inside Story of Fukushima Daiichi) that depicts the harrowing events of that dark day ten years ago.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\r\n

We are now just days away from the 10th anniversary of the devastating T\u00f3hoku earthquake and subsequent tsunami that struck Japan on the 11th March 2011. These events also led to the nuclear disaster that happened at the Fukushima Daiichi power plants. Where several explosions, nuclear meltdowns and pressure-release venting occurred, which led to the radioactive contamination of the entire town. I remember when the news hit my TV screen that day, I was glued to every update about the country I had longed for so many years to visit. I was checking twitter accounts for manga artists and YouTubers that I had been following for years, to thankfully learn that they were all safe. This event shook the world, as I for one never thought there was going to be another event similar to what happened in Chernobyl in the 80\u2019s. Japan had experienced one of the largest earthquakes in recorded history, which triggered tsunami\u2019s much larger than predicted. The damage done was harrowing to watch, and that was all before the nuclear meltdowns in Fukushima Daiichi occured.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\"fukushima50_1\"<\/p>\r\n

This film depicts the chaos, danger and immense pressure the power plant workers went through in order to prevent a full on nuclear meltdown in all their reactors. If that had occurred, much of Japan would be contaminated, on a scale much larger than what happened in Chernobyl. The actors skillfully depicted the valiant efforts of the engineers, grounds crew and the cooperative workers that were brought in for support. Ken Watanabe played the Plant Manager, who was the one responsible for representing the workers of the powerplant. Having fought with the government officials along the way, trying to make them see sense. This film was an incredible watch from start to finish, although there were several hiccups with playing it on the Altitude player. As the stream kept breaking every half hour, resulting in it playing once again from the start and trying to find where I had left off. All the same, this is definitely a film worth watching. It is also highly rewatchable, as similarly over the last couple of months I have also found myself wanting to go back and rewatch the Chernobyl series that came out in 2019.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Ken Watanabe gave an incredible performance in this film, from start to finish. However he didn\u2019t heavily outshine the rest of the cast. His co-star K\u00f3ichi Sat\u00f3, who played Toshio Izaki the leading engineer in Units 1 & 2, gave an unbelievable performance. As his character took the harsh responsibility of creating suicide squads, which included several volunteers going out in pairs to manually go into the reactors to begin the venting process. This film deserves immense recognition, Golden Globes, Oscars, etc. But ultimately, this film will hopefully have a positive effect on raising awareness for those that were affected by this tragedy. And with the 10th anniversary now on our doorsteps, it has also been announced that the route of the Olympic Torch relay will also include Fukushima, as the 2020\/21 Olympics has been named as the \u2018Reconstruction Olympics\u2019. Which symbolises a new start for Fukushima, which is still in the process of rebuilding and decontaminating the soil & water around the powerplants.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Having graduated from the prestigious Tokyo University, Kazuhikos\u2019 life has remained unchanged ever since he was in high school. With a lacklustre attitude towards life, he still resides in his childhood bedroom, living at home with his folks and has no job or career. However after attending a local bathhouse one night, he runs into a woman who remembers him from high school. Soon after Kazuhiko begins working at the same bathhouse, alongside a fellow new employee named Akira. With a new work routine and money in his pocket, Kazuhiko begins to enjoy his new lifestyle. That is, until he returns to work one night to discover that the bathhouse also runs as a murder grounds for the Yakuza.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\"melancholic1\"<\/p>\r\n

I must admit, I highly enjoyed this film. Although it was only filmed in 2018, it had a classic feel to it that reminded me of older mob films from the 80s and 90s. The whole idea of using a bathhouse as a place to murder certain individuals was ideal and simplistic, as it will always be easy to clean and was less likely to come under suspicion by the authorities. I highly enjoyed that idea by the script writer. It\u2019s not something I have seen before in film, but when I sit back and think about it - I\u2019m amazed I haven\u2019t come across it before. It\u2019s a film well worth rewatching time and time again, also very easy to recommend to people. The overall plot was believable, well able to keep my attention and the acting was pretty good. Especially considering how Kazuhiko character begins to gradually develop.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\"melancholic2\"<\/p>\r\n

So we begin with our lead actor Kazuhiko, whose enthusiasm towards life was heavily lacking. Even after attending the prestigious Tokyo University, which would have set him up for life if he were to apply himself to any company. He simply sat at home, he didn\u2019t seem to get any grievances from his parents who seemed to just accept the situation for what it was. Perhaps this was Kazukio\u2019s overall attitude his entire life, or maybe he was simply burnt out, I\u2019m not rightly sure. Soon after he reconnects with high school classmate Yuri, he seems to push himself forward to getting a job at the bathhouse she visits. Thus he begins to have feelings towards her and soon enough they are seeing one another outside of the bathhouse. Kazuhiko\u2019s life drastically changes even more when he uncovers the shadier side of the bathhouse. Shockingly he soon becomes involved in the whole business and even manages to put up a fight when it comes to staying involved. Truly Kazuhiko has an unusual sense of morals. We meet an interesting bunch of characters throughout this film, from those that live under the radar and have walked dangerous paths in life. To simple, hard working individuals like Kazuhikos parents and Yuri. It\u2019s a dark humored comedy, with the beginnings of a sweet coming of age romance thrown in, but not forgetting the danger with the sinister Yakuza element.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

So we have blood and gore, a number of gruesome deaths in a bathhouse, as well as knowing how they dispose of the bodies without any evidence. This single element is what I have an issue with, as the way they disposed of the bodies should have left a vulgar smell that would have been vented out of the building and noticed by the neighbourhood. This apparently wasn\u2019t even an issue in the film and was never addressed. Moving on though the most action packed scene was certainly the skirmish on the staircase, well executed and we really did get to see the full set of skills that Akira possessed. And like all decent action films, there was the inevitable twist at the end. Making this a thoroughly enjoyable watch and one I would definitely return to in the future.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Whilst in the middle of lockdown, zoom calls become a common way of catching up with friends and family. Tonight is Haley\u2019s turn to organise the weekly zoom meeting with her five friends. Tonight\u2019s activity, apart from drinking and gossiping, is a s\u00e9ance. Although many are skeptical of the medium Haley hires, the evening begins to take a sudden turn for the worst when during the s\u00e9ance a demonic presence is invited into each of their homes. One by one, events start to unfold that will send a shiver down through anyone's spine. All of this takes place during the zoom call, as an uninvited guest makes their presence known.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\"host_1\"<\/p>\r\n

Have you ever heard of someone making a really good horror film in just 12 weeks? It\u2019s madness! Just three months to create a script, remotely train your actors through a virtual workshop so that they know how to not only film themselves acting out their lines, but do their own stunts, camera work, lighting and effects. Now that is pressure and the actors well and truly deserve that paycheck at the end of the day. The filming style reminds me somewhat of a modern take on the Blair Witch, but instead we have webcams and a group of friends remotely communicating from each of their homes. Now filming during this current global pandemic would usually be impossible, but that did not stop the crew, actors and director of \u2018Host\u2019 from pushing through and making this film. Honestly, it was entertaining. Terrifying in parts, and I actually had to watch something more \u2018calming\u2019 before going to sleep that night. It sent chills down my spin in several moments, from the medium disappearing, to going up into the attic. This is a great film to watch for those that love a good fright.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

There is a good mix of personalities and lifestyles between this group of friends. From those that prefer to live life with an open mind, including the existence of the paranormal. To those that are more skeptical and have no problem in voicing their opinions loud & clear. Then we have those that decide that in order to add some drama to the night, they invent a story that is the lead cause to a demonic spirit crossing over and causing numerous murderous acts. You know, just your normal Friday night zoom call with the girls. Through this film we see friendships being tested and some coming to a sudden end as the evil entity goes on a rampage. Apart from the supernatural aspect, the character personalities, relationships and living situations are incredibly realistic and true to life. It makes it all the more frightening when the chaos begins.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\"host_2\"<\/p>\r\n

From being to end, \u2018Host\u2019 has been a captivating watch. From a relatable script to the sudden change to a horror film. It ticks boxes across the entire film. It is also a fresh take on what is still a new aspect of filming, through using a webcam and allowing the actors to perform all their own camera work and stunts. As though it was an \u2018amaeuter film\u2019 but made to the highest degree. The film industry is ever changing and its fantastic to see what some can do even during a global lockdown.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The Crood family are still trying to find a place to call home. Guy and Eep\u2019s blossoming relationship is stronger than ever and they are now looking for \u2018Tomorrow\u2019, a place that Guy\u2019s parents used to talk about finding, back when he was a small boy. One day they are journeying across the land, feeling hungry and tired, when they stumble across a colossal wall blocking their path.. They break through it and discover an amazing land, full of all the food that they could possibly need\/ desire. Needless to say, they all go crazy and gorge themselves til they are totally full. Soon they are attacked by masked figures who want to know who they are and what they want.. The masked figures are in fact a family named the Betterman\u2019s, who turn out to be much more evolved and \u2018modern\u2019 than the Croods. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

There are many many marked differences between them and soon they start to discover what makes them each tick..<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\"croods2_1\"<\/p>\r\n

This is the second Croods movie, with the first one being released back in 2013. There was also a tv series back in 2015 but it\u2019s definitely about time we were re-introduced to the Crood clan. Sometimes you wonder why they take so long to release a second movie but it turns out that sometimes that works in its favour, ie people will be more than likely to watch\/re-watch the first movie because they enjoyed this one so much. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

Now that the kids here are off school for the summer, we definitely need some great movies in the cinema that they can watch with their families. Pretty much all of the films in the cinema at the moment are for age 12+ and so this is a very welcome addition. The other great thing about this movie is that there\u2019s something for literally everyone in it. It\u2019s always a bonus when you can have that shared experience on a family visit to the cinema. There\u2019s laughs and slapstick for the younger kids and then you have lots of great \u2018in-jokes\u2019 for the grown ups. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\"croods2_2\"<\/p>\r\n

I have to say, I really really enjoyed this one and will definitely be taking my niece and nephews to see it when I can. If you\u2019re looking for a fun movie with lots of great characters and a brilliant storyline, then this is definitely a must see. I\u2019ll be very surprised if there\u2019s not a third installment at some point in the future.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

There is talk of a serial killer known as the Blissfield Butcher, who attacks and kills people around the time of Homecoming each year. It\u2019s not long before one by one, each of the teens is murdered in a pretty horrific way. The owner of the house is an exotic art collector and has many artefacts in display cases. One such artefact is a mystical dagger, and when the owner of the house returns, he finds his daughter murdered and the dagger missing.. We then meet Millie (Kathryn Newton), a seventeen year old teen who is unconfident and prone to bullying. One day after school, her mum fails to collect her and she is left waiting in the dark.. A tall and shadowy figure appears, wearing a mask and holding a knife. She runs for her life but he is too fast and soon he has her pinned to the ground. It\u2019s midnight, he stabs her.. a shadow covers the moon and there\u2019s a flash of lightning. Someone turns up and scares the Butcher away. Millie is safe but there\u2019s something very different about her..<\/span>\r\n\r\n\"Freaky\"\r\n\r\nThis new movie from Blumhouse (The Invisible Man, Ma) is a bit of a surprise really. Looking at the poster and the title, you assume that it\u2019s something in the vein of the 80s movie, Freaky Friday where a mother and daughter swap places. You\u2019d be very very wrong! Though the very basic premise is there, I think you\u2019ll find it hard to think of another film where this scenario has happened.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe Butcher (Vince Vaughn) is murderous, ruthless, and hungry for the kill and his transition into Millie\u2019s body is very believable, even down to the way she walks and carries herself whilst stalking her prey. Vince Vaughn is the perfect choice to play this psychopath who suddenly finds himself transported into the body of a teenage girl. He captures Millie\u2019s essence perfectly and is great in both roles. Kathryn Newton is fantastic too and is definitely coming into her own as a leading actress.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\"freaky2\"\r\n\r\nFans of extreme violence and bloody killings will most definitely love this film. Some of the killings are unbelievably graphic (circular saw) and admittedly I covered my eyes for that particular scene. I was a little bit surprised that the body count was as low as it was but I guess the story takes precedence.<\/span>\r\n\r\nAs someone who is not really a horror fan (I love Stephen King though) I was actually really surprised by how much I enjoyed this movie. Great story, great acting and some gory violence that will probably make you laugh out loud in places, makes this one to watch on the big screen. A great movie for a first date. ;)<\/span>\r\n\r\nOverall:<\/strong> 8.5\/10<\/span>","post_title":"Freaky Review","post_excerpt":"New movie from Blumhouse","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"freaky-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-12-05 12:28:05","post_modified_gmt":"2024-12-05 12:28:05","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=206510","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":206474,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-06-23 14:45:03","post_date_gmt":"2021-06-23 13:45:03","post_content":"Starring:<\/strong> Vin Diesel, John Cena, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris \u2018Ludacris\u2019 Bridges, Jordana Brewster, Nathalie Emmanuel, Sung Kang, Charlize Theron, Helen Mirren<\/span>\r\n\r\nDirector:<\/strong>\u00a0 Justin Lin<\/span>\r\n\r\nRelease date:<\/strong> 24th June 2021<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nIt\u2019s 1989 and at the Speedway track, Jack Toretto is driving in the final race of the season.

Dom is devastated and ends up getting dragged away as he tries to get to his dad\u2019s car.. Fast forward to present day and Dom (Vin Diesel) is now a dad himself to young Brian. He and Letty (Michelle Rodriguez) are living a relaxed life on an isolated farm and one day an unknown car comes speeding down the road. They prepare for the worst but are soon confronted by some very familiar faces...<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe film franchise for Fast and Furious<\/em> began back in 2001 and was originally slated as being a trilogy of films which focused on illegal street racing. Over the years the franchise has steadily grown and has been geared more towards \u2018family\u2019 and the premise of \u2018protecting your own\u2019.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\"fastandfurious9_1\"\r\n\r\nThere\u2019s even a Fast & Furious<\/em> ride at the Universal Studios<\/em> theme park in Hollywood, where there are holograms of the characters and you also participate in a car chase from the comfort of the studio tour trolleys. I actually really loved it when I was there and I think I went on it three times in one day.<\/span>\r\n\r\nIf you\u2019ve already watched the trailer for F&F9 then you\u2019ve pretty much seen all they key stunts and action sequences in the film. We\u2019re introduced to the new character of Jakob, Dom\u2019s brother played by John Cena, but unfortunately there\u2019s no real explanation of his plans\/ goals or why he\u2019s doing what he\u2019s doing. He just seems to frown a lot and look muscle-y in tight fitting black tops. Anyways, some great fight scenes but just like in the old A-Team tv series in the 80s, no-one seems to get hurt or injured. Some great locations used in the film, including a rather lovely looking Edinburgh that gets totally trashed during a chase sequence.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\"fastandfurious9_2\"\r\n\r\nThat being said, I think anyone that\u2019s followed the series and loved it will not be disappointed. It\u2019s a great movie to just leave your brain at the door and enjoy for what it is; lots of car chases, punch ups, and crazy stunts.<\/span>\r\n\r\nKeep an eye out for Dame Helen Mirren\u2019s crazy driving skills and make sure you stay til after the credits for an extra bonus little scene..<\/span>\r\n\r\nOverall:<\/strong> 8\/10<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n ","post_title":"Fast & Furious 9 Review","post_excerpt":"No one outruns their past","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"fast-furious-9-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-12-05 12:28:39","post_modified_gmt":"2024-12-05 12:28:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=206474","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":206397,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-06-11 12:42:15","post_date_gmt":"2021-06-11 11:42:15","post_content":"

Hutch Mansell (Bob Odenkirk) is an ordinary guy and every day is the same; he wakes, he works, he sleeps. His family life is strained and his relationship with his wife is almost non-existent. One night he wakes to hear a noise downstairs and goes to investigate. Armed with a golf club he sees two people dressed in black entering his home. Things kick off and his son is nearly very seriously harmed by one of the robbers during a scuffle. The other robber points a gun at the boy and Hutch is poised to strike the shooter but doesn\u2019t and the robbers both escape. His family is disappointed in him and Hutch feels like he\u2019s failed them.. He goes to visit his elderly father (Christopher Lloyd) in a rest home and on returning home, his daughter tells him that her favourite bracelet is missing and she is devastated. This flips a mental switch in Hutch\u2019s mind and he storms out of the house.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Not all is as it seems and things soon take a violent and dark turn...<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\"nobody1\"<\/p>\r\n

This is one of those movies that you should know as little about as possible before you watch it. What you think is a straight forward tale of a man whose life is mundane and empty soon becomes something totally different.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Bob Odenkirk (Better Call Saul, Nebraska) comes across as one of those unassuming guys who you wouldn\u2019t really expect to make a movie like this, but he has and is totally made for the role of this husband\/ father whose life is turned upside down after a home invasion. The movie actually starts in an interrogation room and he looks like he has had seven shades beaten out of him. He\u2019s also holding a small kitten..<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\"nobody2\"<\/p>\r\n

I have to say that this is one of my favourite movies so far this year. It has everything you want in a movie and ultimately tells us to never judge a book by its cover. What you assume to be one thing, can be the total opposite. Plus there\u2019s Christopher Lloyd as you might not have seen him before, a pretty spectacular soundtrack and a semi-camp Russian baddie.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

A fantastic movie that I would encourage everyone to go and see on the big screen, though it\u2019s possibly not for the squeamish or fans of non-violence.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

An ordinary day, in an ordinary American town.. Kids playing baseball and families spending time together. All of a sudden, there\u2019s a disturbance <\/span>up above<\/span><\/span><\/span>. What looks like a meteor, is tearing across the clear blue sky and people begin to panic and run for safety. Suddenly \u2018creatures\u2019, unlike anything anyone has ever seen appear in the streets. They kill indiscriminately and some of the locals end up huddled in a shop. This is Day 1.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Fast forward to Day 474 and we are immediately in very familiar territory. <\/span>Evelyn<\/span><\/span><\/span> (Emily Blunt) and her three children are in transit and looking for shelter and fellow survivors. The mother carries a small baby and she and her two teenage children are walking as silently as possible across rough ground trying not to attract the attention of any \u2018creatures\u2019 nearby.. they must do whatever they <\/span>need to<\/span><\/span><\/span> to survive.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

\"quietplace2_1\"<\/p>\r\n

And so we are once again reintroduced to the world of \u2018<\/span>A Quiet Place<\/i><\/span>\u2019, where making any sort of sound or noise can literally get you killed. Back in 2018 we <\/span>first met<\/span><\/span><\/span> the Abbott family and were brought into their post-apocolyptical existence. Back then there was also the dad of the family, Lee (John Krasinsky) and he did whatever needed to be done to keep his family safe. Watchers of the first film will know how his role played out.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

The beauty of this second installment includes a \u2018back in time\u2019 glimpse to a time which we were not privy to the first time around. In the first movie we were literally thrown head first into this new silent world filled with \u2018creatures from another world\u2019. It\u2019s also a bit of a rollercoaster, in that you can be happily pootling along and all of a sudden an attack will happen and it all kicks off. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\"quietplace2_2\"<\/p>\r\n

I\u2019ll be honest with you and say that I\u2019m not really a fan of horror films, which is what this is being billed as, but don\u2019t let fear get the better of you and give this one a watch. The first movie struck a huge chord with movie-goers when it came out and you definitely won\u2019t be disappointed with Part II. It has everything we need in a movie at the moment; that bit of escapism and a movie experience that we can share with our friends and family.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

We\u2019ve been away from cinemas for far too long now and \u2018<\/span>A Quiet Place Part II<\/i><\/span>\u2019 is a great way to get reacquainted with the Big Screen and a bucket of popcorn.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u2018One Cut of the Dead\u2019 is back once again, with a sequel that takes place just six months after the films \u2018live recording\u2019. The Higurashi family return with Mao, their over enthusiastic daughter stepping up to the directors chair when her father takes an unexpected trip in a removal van as he takes a night's rest in some unusual bedding. They gather up the original cast and crew, with the addition of some foreign talent, as they set their sights on filming their new production in Hollywood.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

With the starlet Chinatsu returning in the leading role, who travels to America, changes her hair, starts working in a restaurant and goes by the name Holly. All the while escaping her past and the horrors she witnessed in the first film.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Now I have to say, I absolutely loved the format of the first film and was thrilled to see a sequel. Seeing as we already had a fairly good introduction to the cast in the first film, you really do need to watch that before diving into the Hollywood edition. In which its their daughter Mao, who takes the reins when things really go to shit just hours before they go live on the air. Not only does she deal with the stress, chaos and even a massive incident with the leading star all on the fly - she also deals with working through a fairly big issue with her foriegn boyfriend, who also ends up playing one of the leads on \u2018her\u2019 film.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\"onecutofthedead_he1\"<\/p>\r\n

So with the returning cast of various characters, we still have a good entertaining mix of personalities for this sequel. Within the film they also still have the very awkward task of working with starlet Chinatsu, who seems to love making the film's crew work around her \u2018demands\u2019. Some of which require quite a change in the script, much to Mao\u2019s anger. Then we have Mao becoming both the saviour and real star of this film, as her father the director disappears. This girl manages to overcome all the obstacles that a live shooting brings, as well as dealing with a heartbreaking situation with her other half. Then we have the two \u2018foreign\u2019 talents in the film, who definitely add to the overall enjoyment of the film.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

So as an overall look back on the film, I have to say the first twenty minutes was hard to watch. It was so incredibly cheesy and with terrible acting, that it felt as though it was trying to make fun of itself. However those twenty minutes was the entirety of the film they were shooting live, so we saw their \u2018finished product\u2019 first before we actually got to the plot. So the film within the film, was pretty bad, but the film as a whole - t\u2019was decent. I wouldn\u2019t be rushing to go back and rewatch it anytime soon. As it hasn\u2019t surpassed the original, but at the same time it was good to just see it again and see how the characters had progressed. As Mao\u2019s character development was practically the whole point of this film, also it was so good seeing how they shot the film \u2018live\u2019 and how it all works from behind the scenes again. It certainly was a passion project. Even though this is a \u2018zombie\u2019 film, it was \u2018John\u2019s character acting that kind of eclipsed it all. I mean, the moment he was stalling in the scene outside with the zombies - he just went pure Scarface.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

So this release is actually a combination of the first film and the Hollywood edition, with a bunch of bonus material. If you haven\u2019t bought the first film already, then I would highly suggest this version. You also need to act quick, as it is limited to just 2000 copies. Based on the fact that this includes the original film, my score is going to be higher than what it would be based on just this sequel. You can also check out the full review of the first film, \u201cOne Cut of the Dead\u201d in the link here -<\/span> http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/one-cut-of-the-dead-review\/<\/a><\/p>\r\n

On March 11th, 2011 a magnitude 9.0 earthquake occurred just off the coast of Japan, which triggered powerful tsunami waves that decimated many coastal towns and cities. Among them was the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear power plants. Within an hour of the 6 minute long earthquake, they had lost all electricity to power their necessary cooling systems for the reactors. This film reenacts the events of those faithful hours following the earthquake, as those that worked in the powerplant gave their all to protect Japan and her citizens from an event that would rival the effects of Chernobyl. Starring Ken Watanabe as the Plant Manager Yoshida, directed by Setsur\u00f3 Wakamatsu (Whiteout) and based off of the jaw-dropping book by Ryusho Kadota (On The Brink: The Inside Story of Fukushima Daiichi) that depicts the harrowing events of that dark day ten years ago.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\r\n

We are now just days away from the 10th anniversary of the devastating T\u00f3hoku earthquake and subsequent tsunami that struck Japan on the 11th March 2011. These events also led to the nuclear disaster that happened at the Fukushima Daiichi power plants. Where several explosions, nuclear meltdowns and pressure-release venting occurred, which led to the radioactive contamination of the entire town. I remember when the news hit my TV screen that day, I was glued to every update about the country I had longed for so many years to visit. I was checking twitter accounts for manga artists and YouTubers that I had been following for years, to thankfully learn that they were all safe. This event shook the world, as I for one never thought there was going to be another event similar to what happened in Chernobyl in the 80\u2019s. Japan had experienced one of the largest earthquakes in recorded history, which triggered tsunami\u2019s much larger than predicted. The damage done was harrowing to watch, and that was all before the nuclear meltdowns in Fukushima Daiichi occured.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\"fukushima50_1\"<\/p>\r\n

This film depicts the chaos, danger and immense pressure the power plant workers went through in order to prevent a full on nuclear meltdown in all their reactors. If that had occurred, much of Japan would be contaminated, on a scale much larger than what happened in Chernobyl. The actors skillfully depicted the valiant efforts of the engineers, grounds crew and the cooperative workers that were brought in for support. Ken Watanabe played the Plant Manager, who was the one responsible for representing the workers of the powerplant. Having fought with the government officials along the way, trying to make them see sense. This film was an incredible watch from start to finish, although there were several hiccups with playing it on the Altitude player. As the stream kept breaking every half hour, resulting in it playing once again from the start and trying to find where I had left off. All the same, this is definitely a film worth watching. It is also highly rewatchable, as similarly over the last couple of months I have also found myself wanting to go back and rewatch the Chernobyl series that came out in 2019.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Ken Watanabe gave an incredible performance in this film, from start to finish. However he didn\u2019t heavily outshine the rest of the cast. His co-star K\u00f3ichi Sat\u00f3, who played Toshio Izaki the leading engineer in Units 1 & 2, gave an unbelievable performance. As his character took the harsh responsibility of creating suicide squads, which included several volunteers going out in pairs to manually go into the reactors to begin the venting process. This film deserves immense recognition, Golden Globes, Oscars, etc. But ultimately, this film will hopefully have a positive effect on raising awareness for those that were affected by this tragedy. And with the 10th anniversary now on our doorsteps, it has also been announced that the route of the Olympic Torch relay will also include Fukushima, as the 2020\/21 Olympics has been named as the \u2018Reconstruction Olympics\u2019. Which symbolises a new start for Fukushima, which is still in the process of rebuilding and decontaminating the soil & water around the powerplants.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Having graduated from the prestigious Tokyo University, Kazuhikos\u2019 life has remained unchanged ever since he was in high school. With a lacklustre attitude towards life, he still resides in his childhood bedroom, living at home with his folks and has no job or career. However after attending a local bathhouse one night, he runs into a woman who remembers him from high school. Soon after Kazuhiko begins working at the same bathhouse, alongside a fellow new employee named Akira. With a new work routine and money in his pocket, Kazuhiko begins to enjoy his new lifestyle. That is, until he returns to work one night to discover that the bathhouse also runs as a murder grounds for the Yakuza.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\"melancholic1\"<\/p>\r\n

I must admit, I highly enjoyed this film. Although it was only filmed in 2018, it had a classic feel to it that reminded me of older mob films from the 80s and 90s. The whole idea of using a bathhouse as a place to murder certain individuals was ideal and simplistic, as it will always be easy to clean and was less likely to come under suspicion by the authorities. I highly enjoyed that idea by the script writer. It\u2019s not something I have seen before in film, but when I sit back and think about it - I\u2019m amazed I haven\u2019t come across it before. It\u2019s a film well worth rewatching time and time again, also very easy to recommend to people. The overall plot was believable, well able to keep my attention and the acting was pretty good. Especially considering how Kazuhiko character begins to gradually develop.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\"melancholic2\"<\/p>\r\n

So we begin with our lead actor Kazuhiko, whose enthusiasm towards life was heavily lacking. Even after attending the prestigious Tokyo University, which would have set him up for life if he were to apply himself to any company. He simply sat at home, he didn\u2019t seem to get any grievances from his parents who seemed to just accept the situation for what it was. Perhaps this was Kazukio\u2019s overall attitude his entire life, or maybe he was simply burnt out, I\u2019m not rightly sure. Soon after he reconnects with high school classmate Yuri, he seems to push himself forward to getting a job at the bathhouse she visits. Thus he begins to have feelings towards her and soon enough they are seeing one another outside of the bathhouse. Kazuhiko\u2019s life drastically changes even more when he uncovers the shadier side of the bathhouse. Shockingly he soon becomes involved in the whole business and even manages to put up a fight when it comes to staying involved. Truly Kazuhiko has an unusual sense of morals. We meet an interesting bunch of characters throughout this film, from those that live under the radar and have walked dangerous paths in life. To simple, hard working individuals like Kazuhikos parents and Yuri. It\u2019s a dark humored comedy, with the beginnings of a sweet coming of age romance thrown in, but not forgetting the danger with the sinister Yakuza element.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

So we have blood and gore, a number of gruesome deaths in a bathhouse, as well as knowing how they dispose of the bodies without any evidence. This single element is what I have an issue with, as the way they disposed of the bodies should have left a vulgar smell that would have been vented out of the building and noticed by the neighbourhood. This apparently wasn\u2019t even an issue in the film and was never addressed. Moving on though the most action packed scene was certainly the skirmish on the staircase, well executed and we really did get to see the full set of skills that Akira possessed. And like all decent action films, there was the inevitable twist at the end. Making this a thoroughly enjoyable watch and one I would definitely return to in the future.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The rest of the cast have very little information available online regarding their careers, but each of them gave very good performances throughout.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Whilst in the middle of lockdown, zoom calls become a common way of catching up with friends and family. Tonight is Haley\u2019s turn to organise the weekly zoom meeting with her five friends. Tonight\u2019s activity, apart from drinking and gossiping, is a s\u00e9ance. Although many are skeptical of the medium Haley hires, the evening begins to take a sudden turn for the worst when during the s\u00e9ance a demonic presence is invited into each of their homes. One by one, events start to unfold that will send a shiver down through anyone's spine. All of this takes place during the zoom call, as an uninvited guest makes their presence known.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\"host_1\"<\/p>\r\n

Have you ever heard of someone making a really good horror film in just 12 weeks? It\u2019s madness! Just three months to create a script, remotely train your actors through a virtual workshop so that they know how to not only film themselves acting out their lines, but do their own stunts, camera work, lighting and effects. Now that is pressure and the actors well and truly deserve that paycheck at the end of the day. The filming style reminds me somewhat of a modern take on the Blair Witch, but instead we have webcams and a group of friends remotely communicating from each of their homes. Now filming during this current global pandemic would usually be impossible, but that did not stop the crew, actors and director of \u2018Host\u2019 from pushing through and making this film. Honestly, it was entertaining. Terrifying in parts, and I actually had to watch something more \u2018calming\u2019 before going to sleep that night. It sent chills down my spin in several moments, from the medium disappearing, to going up into the attic. This is a great film to watch for those that love a good fright.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

There is a good mix of personalities and lifestyles between this group of friends. From those that prefer to live life with an open mind, including the existence of the paranormal. To those that are more skeptical and have no problem in voicing their opinions loud & clear. Then we have those that decide that in order to add some drama to the night, they invent a story that is the lead cause to a demonic spirit crossing over and causing numerous murderous acts. You know, just your normal Friday night zoom call with the girls. Through this film we see friendships being tested and some coming to a sudden end as the evil entity goes on a rampage. Apart from the supernatural aspect, the character personalities, relationships and living situations are incredibly realistic and true to life. It makes it all the more frightening when the chaos begins.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\"host_2\"<\/p>\r\n

From being to end, \u2018Host\u2019 has been a captivating watch. From a relatable script to the sudden change to a horror film. It ticks boxes across the entire film. It is also a fresh take on what is still a new aspect of filming, through using a webcam and allowing the actors to perform all their own camera work and stunts. As though it was an \u2018amaeuter film\u2019 but made to the highest degree. The film industry is ever changing and its fantastic to see what some can do even during a global lockdown.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
