Howl’s Moving Castle – by Hayao Miyazaki
Wonderful anime by the master of the genre Hayao Miyazaki, founder of studio Ghibli.
Earlier I watched Castle in the Sky and the Spirit Away, enjoying these very much. The movies have a strange threatening atmosphere without becoming horror. Yet the movies combine a darkness with a playful touch.
Miyazaki's movies are now viewable on Netflix.
Jackie Brown, Elmore Leonard
Last night I watched Jackie Brown (on Netflix), a Tarantino movie.
Nice movie.
Robert De Niro plays a strange supporting role, a daft accomplice of arms dealer Samuel L. Jackson. I thought: the big De Niro playing such a non-descript character, that's fantastic.
More thoughts.
I saw the movie was based on a book of Elmore Leonard, I writer I had never heard of, but I recently watch an interesting video about him. The role Samuel L. Jackson plays reminds me of his role in Kingsman: The Secret Service. A ruthless criminal shot in the climax of the movie. And then on comparing these stories: Jackie Brown is a way more interesting story than the flat action-movie story of Kingsman.
