Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives
After having such a good time watching 1985’s A New Beginning (aka Part V) earlier this year, I was going into this one hoping for another good time (watching it on a late Saturday night). Unfortunately, it didn’t work out that way. As much as I found Part V to be pretty tame in terms of the…

Three Amigos
This movie has sorta turned into a comedy classic, but I think mostly because of the strength of the three stars, and the incredibly silly premise. I seem to remember that even back then I didn’t think it was that great a movie. Of course, there are a few funny moments here and there that…

Sunday Morning Cartoon Cavalcade Vol. 4
The best thing about this morning’s cartoon cavalcade was the happy return of Samurai Jack — it had been preempted last week because of the Rick & Morty special. An interesting episode, with the — well, sorta expected — turn of one of the daughters of Aku. I followed that up with three Mickey Mouse…

Ghibli Food Exhibition
You probably don’t need any extra incentive to visit the Ghibli Museum in Tokyo, but I sure would like to drop by in the coming year to check out the yearlong food exhibition (from May 27). More details in this Spoon & Tamago post.

Are Euphoria
What’s Takako Minekawa up to these days? She’s about to release yet another collaboration record with Dustin Wong, entitled Are Euphoria — the track “Zaaab” is pretty fantastic. More details in this Tokyo’s Coolest Sound listing.
