2LDK, a review by Jimmy

Title : 2LDK (2002)

Overview
A twisted, skillfully paced black comedy, '2LDK' (2-Bedroom, Living Room, Dining Room & Kitchen) packs a startling amount of inventiveness, razor-sharp wit and filmmaking fervor to tell the story of two roommates at odds with the world and each other. Two struggling actresses share a Tokyo apartment. As they compete for the same film role and the same boyfriend, their petty squabbles soon turn into all-out war and when they break out the power tools and electrocution devices, you know these two ladies have forfeited more than their security deposit. Director Yukihiko Tsutsumi, one of the most promising young filmmakers in Japan, pushes his film's premise to the extreme, making for an unforgettable, non-stop barrage of laughs, fights and ultra-violence.

My Impression
I've got this one as a part of a 3 movies boxset and it was unknown to me the first time I've watched it (not this time). I really like this one, I'm familiar with the apartment sharing life with all the good and bad sides. Many little things usually get on our nerves and sometimes we want to react like the girls in this film 

This is a 2 actresses show and they are quite good and attractive. The director make a good use of the short running time (1h10) and the movie didn't have any dead time. If you think that the Japanese cinema is just about the boring grey little girl ghost try this one, you'll pass a very good time in front of your tv or computer.

After "Tangled" I am in a Disney princess movies mood. So I watched Little Mermaid again. I always enjoyed this movie. I especially enjoy the songs in this one. These are among the most memorable of the Disney songs.

Pete's Pilots, a review by addicted2dvd

Ghost Whisperer
Melinda Gordon (Jennifer Love Hewitt) is a young newlywed with the unique gift to communicate with spirits of people who have died - a talent that was inherited from her grandmother.

The dead seek out Melinda's ability to help them relay significant messages and information to the living. Despite her fear, compassion compels her to help these earthbound spirits cross over by completing their unfinished business with the living. Relive these amazing journeys in all 22 first-season episodes.

Pilot
Melinda is haunted by the spirit of a restless soldier who died 30 years ago in Vietnam. She helps the veteran and his living son find closure.

My Thoughts:
A wonderful series... one of my all-time favorites. This series is what made me a big Jennifer Love Hewitt fan.... as while I did hear of her before I really wasn't that familiar with her until this show. In the early episodes the show was focused more on the dramatic touching storylines. But it didn't take long for it to become more then that. To put some eerie scenes into the show. To put an over-all story arc. If by chance you never seen this show... I highly recommend it.
