Exploring Food and Movies

 Saturday: Weathering with You (2019)       Hodaka is a young teenage boy who runs away from home to Tokyo. Tokyo is experiencing extremely heavy rain for months on end. Hodaka struggles to get by because no one will hire a teenager with no ID. Eventually he finds work with a man he met on the ferry to Tokyo, Suga. Suga has a magazine that prints articles about local legends, alien sightings, and things like that. Hodaka learns about sunshine girls. Girls who have the ability to control the weather and bring out the sun. He realizes he has already met one, Hina. An orphan living alone with her little brother. Due to the current weather her ability is in high demand. They start a business where people can hire her to bring out the sun. For sports games, farmer's markets, weddings, and so on. It goes well for a while. There is more to her power than they now. I thought this movie was good. It's by the same guy who did Suzume . ------------------------------------------...

 Friday: Fight or Flight (2025)       Lucas is a former secret service agent. He was stranded in Bangkok after a failed assignment. Later he receives a call from his ex who know works at a different agency. A target, only known as Ghost, is getting on a plane headed for the U.S. He is the only one close enough to get on the plane in time. Lucas has to find Ghost and bring them home. Soon he discovers the plane is filled with people wanting to kill both of them. Lucas has to protect Ghost. This movie was ok. Except for the two main actors, all the acting is bad. The writing is bad. It's like they thought they could just put in a bunch of swear words and not have to actually write dialogue. There are some fun moments. It's basically Bullet Train but on a plane. Just watch Bullet Train instead. Saturday: Suzume (2022)       Suzume is a teenage girl living in Japan. One day she meets a mysterious young man, Souta, who is looking for an abandoned place with...

When she gets there she soon finds out she is not the only one there on a mission from Valentina. It's a trap. This group of misfits heroes have to work together to survive. Once out they realize there is a much bigger threat they have to worry about. They have to come together again to take it down. I thought this movie was good. The cinematography was great. It's fun. Saturday: The Six Triple Eight (2024)        This is based on a true story. Set during WWII a young black woman, Lena, joins the all black female battalion of WAC. They have to work twice as hard to get any respect. They aren't given any missions. Until the war department starts getting lots of complaints of ...
