Day 30- Sex. Violence. Family Values (Singaporean)

 

"

Billed as "three dirrrty stories from the world's cleanest city", Sex.Violence.FamilyValues is described by its makers as a film that "pitches political correctness out the window of Singapore mainstream cinema."^[3]
Cartoons is a dark comedy about a disturbed child whose kindergarten headmistress discovers the boy's penchant for drawing morbid cartoons.
Porn Masala is a satirical farce about a pornographer who casts an Indian actor in his movie after mistaking the latter for an African.
The Bouncer tells the story of nightclub bouncer whose life is upended when he encounters a rebellious teenage poledancer."

A very interesting film filled with interesting characters and multiple culture clashes. I enjoyed this film a lot even if the acting wasn't that great. I like the plotlines as they are interesting and are the kind of stories people tend to shy away from. Its the best kind of movie to watch when you are boread late at night.

2.5/5

Day 6 - Stories of Appariations (Japanese)

"Based on the popular Japanese urban legends of "Shinrei Shashin", or so called ghost photos, Stories is an omnibus collection of five skin-crawling ghost stories of unexpected paranormal encounters, when schoolgirls and office ladies alike come across eerie, otherworldly photographs possessing more than just images."

A few unique stories brought together is a difficult thing to deliver. Yet the directors of this film almost make it but they fail in many ways. I hate the fact the film looks so low budget which is a slight annoyance. Some of the characters were well written but sometimes the story was difficult to follow and at times I felt like my attention was elsewhere. Watch this if you really love Japanese movies.
