Boy and the Heron
A masterpiece, Miyazaki wanted to make a bookend to a career showing that his writing and direction is timeless.
I hate to spoil movies but the film reminds me of Pans labyrinth and Baron Munchousen.
So engrossing I felt like I forgot to blink.
10/10

For point 1
I think it's excellent table setting for who, where, what.
I think he lets you have a sneak peek as to the fantastic, then a long break back to mundane just to let you forget it's coming
As for part 2
Yeah it's neat

Broadcast Signal Intrusion is a waste of time and a waste of Chicago's cool history of pirate broadcasts

Sweet Home (1989)
_{Directed by Kiyoshi Kurosawa}

A TV crew is documenting a famous fresco painter, and they gain access to a mansion where this painter once lived hoping to find undocumented pieces of art. Long abandoned, and locked up because it was thought haunted, they begin to document what they find. It doesn't take long for things to get weird and spooky. This was a proper haunted house flick that was pretty good. The effects were decent, especially the ending. Apparently, there is an NES game that was developed side by side with the movie as it was being filmed, and it's well received.

3/5

Been meaning to see this, the team that made the game sought out to make a 3d sequel, botched it and ended up making Resident Evil out of it instead. Its weird mansion and Gothic puzzles are it's legacy

Man this is what bums me out about live action Japan stuff. They don't put real money into it. Sweet Home has a bit of a legacy, it's from 1989 and only been on VHS and laserdisc

The Great Yokai War: Guardians (2021)
_{Directed by Takashi Miike}

Two brothers must save Japan from a large creature crushing its way across the country. Along the way they meet yokai, which are all sorts of creatures in Japanese folklore. I was not expecting to watch a children's movie from the same director who did Ichi the Killer. This movie was really fun, and had so much going on you never got too bored. Hundreds of yokai, bone dragons, enraged gods, and more! The costume and practical effects were pretty amazing with so many amazing characters. The story itself has recognizable parts from other top tier childhood movies and makes for one huge epic adventure. I think as a kid I would have absolutely loved this.

3.5/5

Here's my review of all the yokai war movies before this Mike didn't make

Classic weird gems with great cinematography and practical effects pure fun
4/5
