how did you end up living in japan? do you have the cases for any of these movies?? gotta have the cases!! lol

[TaishaJason]

I work in Japan as an English teacher with the JET Programme.

Yes - I have the cases in a big box in storage in San Diego. :)

I know you have past these letter already, but check out Boiler Room, and how can you pass the Fith Element or Conan? Those are great films. Boiler Room is a fantastic drama and I really think you would like the movie.

[TaishaJason]

I'll mention this in an upcoming vlog, but this binder only represents about 1/3 of my DVDs, and only about 1/5 of my overall movie collection when you add in laserdiscs.

The first Conan is a great film! I've heard they might try to remake it, but I hope they don't. No one can top AHnuld in that flick!

I saw Boiler Room - decent flick. Vin Diesel doing his best Alec Baldwin from Glengarry Glen Ross impersonation.

I've never been much interested in a movie's preconditions, like who wrote it or who directed it. Usually I watch anything and everything and if I like it... well, then I like it, so of what importance is a director? :-)

What might deter me is the acting cast, but the only one I really dislike is Tom Cruise, so there's only a fraction of films I'm biased against.

[TaishaJason]

I'll assume you're being a wee bit facetious with the directors remark. :)

I used to see just about anything. In my 20s, I routinely went to see about 100 movies a year at the theater - or about 2 per week, plus many more on video/dvd.

But as I grow older, I've become more discriminating with my time, and certain genres (such as the recent trend in horror of torture porn) hold little interest for me.

It was the terribly awkward writing in Star Wars that made her character seem floppy (no way near as cool as Princess Leia), I think Natalie Portman did the best she could with the awful romance scenes.

[Pompey1990]

Working my way through these videos at long last, but I felt I had to comment on this one simply because Lost in Translation is my favourite film of all time to watch. I could watch at any time, over and over. The performances (particularly from Murray), the interesting and refreshing take on the holiday romance/forbidden love idea, and Coppola's fantastic soundtrack, all make for a fantastic film.

Britihs film: Check out Kes, beutiful

"go on, ask me anything"

"ok....best shag you ever had?"

"Britney Spears"

......

"hahaha, just kidding.......she was rubbish!"

Love Actually=AWESOME. I love the intertwined stories of all the characters. The constant "countdown to christmas" thing they do makes it a movie I only really enjoy around xmas, but it's a good watch anytime :)

Ah Lost in translation..Its by watching this movie that i knew for the 1st time about the Suntory Company,and since then i want to taste their Millenium whisky..lol,It's Suntory time!anyway,bill murray was awesome in this movie.Love Actually was nice too and i loved master and commander.Great taste jason!we have things in common,it's great!

[kansaiPJ]

The Godfather (part one and two, and even 3 is okay) ROCKS!

Lock, Stock and 2 Barrels was also a great film. And I luved THE LIMEY - it was an oddly emotional film. I also have Dark City and though I luv the cinematography, I have trouble getting through the movie in one sitting. And I love ship/naval movies. You have great taste J. ;-)

Another great vid Jason!
