Neko zamurai (2014)
Cute, Funny and Heatwarming
A Masterless Samurai Madarame who has fallen on hard times is hired by a gang to kill their rival's beloved pet cat, Tama. Upon accepting the assignment, he finds he cannot kill the cat, and instead brings it home. Backed by some great supporting characters, there are a lot of funny moments in this movie that make you smile that are not overdone. Tween cat-loving girl me would have thought that this movie is fantastic. Mid 30's Mom me now appreciates the history, clothing, and of course, the kitty. Light violence of the samurai sword wielding variety. Adapted from a popular TV series, this is sure to be a winner for date night or family movie night.
Not Fade Away: Remembering Buddy Holly (1996)
Not Fade Away
Mainly this is just a film about a bunch of people covering Buddy's work in a CD of the same title. The CD is pushed along with the documentary. We get to see them in the studio talking about how they think they can stay true to the music. There are clips of them recording the music and sitting around. Also shown are extensive footage of The Crickets. Interviews with some of them proceed and they wax nostalgic about Buddy and Maria Elena. There are some good glimpses of rare photos, some anecdotes and some color moving film of Buddy. Not a recap of his life and times per se, but good nevertheless. The CD contains interpretations of Buddy's work, so don't expect to hear some of your favorites. These songs have been stripped down and taken to the next level as shown in the documentary.
The Fairy Faith (2000)
Delightful look
This documentary closely follows the realm of fairy set in Europe. Many people are talked to about their belief in the little people and it's affects on them and the community. Shot on location, this film shows some beautiful scenery, and has some great close up looks at some key fairy points in Europe. You get to visit fairy locations and talk to artists who claim to see fairies, like Brain Froud. You also talk to people who claim to have seen or worked with the fairies, and how this has changed their lives, either for the good or the bad. This is a must see for those who would like to sit back and get a true look at fairies.
