Phil of the Future: Tia, Via, or Me... Uh. (2005)
Humorous with some sly twists
Phil has to deal with Keely paying more attention to new friend Via than to him.
They do everything together - movies, shoe shopping, etc.
Phil introduced Keely to Via so he could get out of doing girly stuff with his friend.
But his plan worked too well.
Now the two girls are inseparable !! Good story, lots of humor, some twists.
Juliet Holland-Rose is excellent as Via.
The stuff with Pim and her mom was not so entertaining.
The plot overall moved fast and came to a good conclusion.
We don't always like POTF but this one was excellent.
Kagemusha (1980)
Top Ten All Time
The visuals are equal to if not better than the more recent Asian imports such as Hero. In contrast to these modern wannabe's, the story is superb (also being true !!!). And the acting is fantastic, completely unforced. You feel like you are there in the 16th century.
Akira Kurosawa was one of the 20th century's greatest directors and this is what I consider to be his best work. He made other more "trendy" films but this one is a pure work of art. And it shows.
This is a rare treat if it can be found at a library or video store. A very worthy candidate for digital re-mastering and DVD re-issue.
In any case, however you can: Find it and enjoy !
