Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva Japanese Animation Movie 2010
Cast And Crew Cast: Yo Oizumi, Maki Horikita, Mamiko Noto, Shoro Saito, Nana Mizuki Director: Masakazu Hashimoto Genre: Animation RunTime: 1 hr 39 mins Released By: Encore Films & Golden Village Pictures Rating: PG Opening Day: 18 March 2010 In Japanese with English & Chinese Subtitles
Synopsis: Based on the popular and award-winning Professor Layton Nintendo DS puzzle game series, this movie is set to take place directly after the events of “Professor Layton and the Specter's Flute”, in which Layton's apprentice, Luke, is investigating the concept of immortality. Professor Layton receives a letter from the famed opera singer, Jenice Kaitly, inviting them to see her newest performance. She also asks Layton, Luke, and Remi for assistance in a mystery, saying her friend Melina went missing one year ago but returned later as a seven year old girl saying she had found the secret of eternal life. Naturally, the case fascinates Layton and his apprentices, so they head to the Crown Petone opera house. When they arrive, something is very strange: the pianist, Ozro Vislar talks of a game, and the winner will win the "eternal life." It is up to Layton, Luke, and Remi to solve the mystery of the Eternal Diva before it is too late.
Movie Review: While most of the Japanese movies that were given the theatrical release in Singapore are derived from either Manga, TV series or Anime (or the combination of all three), Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva originated from a Nintendo DS* Puzzle video game series in which chronicles the mystery solving adventures of Professor Layton and his apprentice Luke. The first three games were The Curious Village, The Diabolical Box and The Last Time Travel. In which Professor Layton and his apprentice were called to solve the mysteries that troubling the various location. They were given a series of puzzles and mysteries by the various residents and after solving a minimum number of puzzles, the player would be able to proceed with the story. The fourth game (The Specter's Flute) was a prequel to the trilogy of games. It explored how the Professor and Luke met up for their first adventure together.
This movie, Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva took place immediately after The Specter's Flute and the ending of The Specter's Flute served as an introduction to this movie. There's no linkage between the mysteries in the four games with this movie and The Eternal Diva is a fine place to start exploring the Professor Layton Franchise. The Professor is cool level headed puzzle solver and his apprentice Luke is a cheerful child who often acts as the comic relief while assisting the Professor. Together, the deliberating duo was invited by a famed opera singer, Jenis Quatlane to investigate a case of strange occurrence of immortality. At the performance, a masked man appeared and offered the audience a series of puzzle solving games. The one and only winner in the end would win Eternal Life while the losers will die. Needless to say, the audience became hysterical and broke out in a mass panic. But like every mystery 'whodunit' films, the gamemaster was able to helm and control the flow of the game, forcing our heroic duo and various competitors to solve the various puzzles for the grand prize of Eternal Life. The fun part of watching Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva would be that as viewers, we get to ponder and attempt to solve the various puzzles that lie before the protagonists. It requires a degree of lateral thinking (i.e. solving problems via indirect and creative angle) that gives the brain a good workout. The film gave a certain time to play the puzzle out, therefore allowing the viewers to think about the puzzle. It also shows the different answers by various individuals and the fate that awaits them. As this movie uses a fair amount of sensible detective works, issues arise when the main crux of this movie is based on impossible elements. These two elements especially do not merge well together. On one hand, the Professor and Luke uses smart reasoning to figure out the puzzles but when it reaches the climatic ending, the movie just throw us the ultimate improbable scenario that jarred the whole viewing pleasure. The rule that was set up through out the movie were conveniently forgotten to suit the unexpected fantasy ending and it just dimmed the whole viewing pleasure while The Professors solves mysteries that based on implausible events. It's a pity as the hand drawn 2D animation style is a refreshing change from the recent computer generated 3D animation that been flooding our cinemas. The music soundtracks of this movie stood out as well and probably it's due to their long history of notable soundtracks in their games. The movie started off with a promising and intriguing brain teasing first half but faltered away as a general kiddy fantasy film. Unlike movies like Christopher Nolan's The Prestige, there is very little replay value in going through the Professor Layton's puzzles or reliving the wittiness of how they were designed once the puzzles were solved. Like most other riddles, once they are solved the riddles lost its value.

Synopsis: Following the success of the popular Japanese romantic comedy drama, NODAME CANTABILE: THE MOVIE hits the big screen! Hiroshi Tamaki and Juri Ueno reprise in their roles and continue their love for music and their pursuit for their ambitions. Chiaki (Hiroshi Tamaki) is an aspiring conductor who faces the challenge of leading an orchestra which is made up of substitutes. Nodame (Juri Ueno) gives her support to her beloved as she works hard towards achieving her dream to pass a promotion exam at their music conservatory. Will Chiaki be able to revive a broken down orchestra and launch his musical career? What will become of Nodame and Chiaki's relationship?
Movie Review: Nodame Cantabile would have top the Japan Box Office for 5 consecutive weeks if it wasn't the James "King of the World" Cameron's Avatar hogging the number 1 spot*. It makes one wonder what the drawing power of this movie which is another one of those movies that capitalize on the TV series popularity. After being exposed to the world of Nodame Cantabile for the first time, it's not hard to pin point the attraction in this franchise which had originated from Manga and had already branched out to an Anime series, a TV series and a TV special. The appeal of this franchise works in 2 folds.
The first unique selling point of this franchise would be how it made classical music accessible to layman / newbies and the younger generation who generally are more involved with other type of music. It provides simple and entertaining explanation of the various piece that had been showcased in this franchise. Pieces such as Paul Dukas's symphonic poem, The Sorcerer's Apprentice and Tchaikovsk's 1812 Overture are used to provide parallelism and enhance the comedic elements that going on in the film. It also provides intriguing history lessons behind those pieces and the reasons why they were preformed in certain ways. It even went on to explain what does Cantabile meant. In short, it's one of the most entertaining introduction to classical music that open the eyes (or ears) of those who were never exposed to this type of music genre. The next attraction of Nodame Cantabile would be Juri Ueno's hilarious rendition of Noda 'Nodame' Megumi and the comedic chemistry that she played off with Chiaki (Hiroshi Tamaki). The coupling of one "Xiao Char Bo" (Singlish for crazy woman) and a ultra serious conductor give rise to many hilarious situations such as painful slapstick and wonderful usage of special effects to generate the laughs. Juri Ueno did a great job protraying Nodame (which incidentally is based on a real person) on screen that it's funny just to watch her walk. Although this is an esemble effort, the live action Nodame Cantabile series and movie succeed mainly due to her performance. However, this movie was great in making classical music accessible and drawing laughs from Nodame's antic, several factors of this movie was lacking. The problems that Chiaki faced with the unsuccessful orchestra were solved automatically on it's own. It doesn't give the protagonist much to fix or do with the problem at hand. Then there were the influx of various characters that appeared near the end of the movie and for those who are not aware of their significance in the TV series might end up wondering who are these bunch of people. Even the characteristic of Nodame and Chiaki took a sudden shift near the end and it could be rather unfathomable if you are not aware of certain human characteristic that made them behaved in their strange manner. All these problems mentioned above occurred because the movie was running out of time and was trying to build a bride to the 2nd movie (yup, this is only a first parter). It's a small nuisance and by the time these problems arise, the anticpantion for more of Nodame would easily override those issues. Nodame Cantabile: The Final Score - Part I is a good introduction for those who are new to this franchise and it's building up an enormous anticipation for the finale. Nodame Cantabile The Final Score - Part 1 comes highly recommended.

Synopsis: "YONA YONA PENGUIN" is a story about the adventure of Coco, a small girl who walks around the town night by night, always in the penguin coat that her late father had given to her. Through the meetings with those diverse types of people and those magical events, it tells the ingenuousness of the children everywhere and the importance and strength, leaving the heart-warming impressions to those who watch this animation.
Movie Review: Do you notice how seldom we use the word “cartoon” these days- except to describe what plays on Saturday mornings on the goggle box? Lately, we’d much prefer to call them “animations”, perhaps in part to avoid the connotation that they are meant for children and children alone. Thanks to the likes of Studio Ghibli and Pixar, films like “Up”, “Wall E” and “Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea” are no longer considered entertainment for those 10 and below, but wholesome fun for everyone of all ages.
“Yona Yona Penguin” arrives at such an inopportune time- inopportune because people expect more than a Saturday-morning cartoon when they step inside the cinema to watch an animation. Though its visuals and even its premise may suggest that it possesses the whimsical nature of the best Miyazaki-Studio Ghibli animations, “Yona Yona Penguin” is really strictly just a cartoon. Indeed, it’s hard to imagine anyone above the age of 10 enjoying this fantasy tale of a little girl obsessed with penguins drawn into an underground kingdom. The little girl here refers to the big-eyes, bubbly Coco (voiced by Ei Morisako) whose hobby of wandering the streets at night in a penguin costume hasn’t exactly won her any friends. Quite out of the blue, she is lured into a carnival-like tent called “Penguin Store” which is really an entrance to an alternate world. Here she meets the inhabitants of a goblin village, who think she is the prophesied flightless bird that will save them from the evil reign of the Emperor of Darkness, Bukka-Boo. Intriguing as this may sound, there’s really very little story in “Yona Yona Penguin”. Japanese helmer Rintaro (of cult animes “Galaxy Express 999” and “Metropolis”), who also came up with the story, is apparently more interested in bringing his audience from one colourfully drawn setting to another- never mind that the movie has the narrative coherence of a six-year-old. So at the end, one knows little about the world of the goblins or the origins of Bukka-Boo to make sense of, or for the matter care, about what happens. Just as poorly drawn are its characters- Bukka-Boo’s right-hand man Lord Zammy who’s really a fallen angel; the goblin Chaley who led Coco to this enchanted land; and even Coco herself, whose character arc as a fatherless daughter seems more like an afterthought. Sure, they may be cute, but once that ‘aww-shucks’ charm wears off, they are just too thinly-drawn for anyone to identify with them on their journey of self-discovery. And that is indeed unfortunate, for this “3D anime” film from Japanese anime studio Madhouse is beautifully animated, both in terms of its colourful landscapes as well as its irresistibly cute-looking characters. A deliberate attempt by Madhouse to introduce the look and feel of an anime into the 3D CGI world, “Yona Yona Penguin” boasts delightfully charming visuals that are ultimately let down by its undercooked storyline and characterisation. Had “Yona Yona Penguin” come out ten years ago, it would have no doubt be enough to enchant audiences with its richly animated images. But in this era of Studio Ghibli and Pixar, where audiences expect animations to be more than just a collage of pretty and colourful pictures, this glossy Saturday-morning cartoon just doesn’t have enough to satisfy.
Cast And Crew Cast: Tatsuya Fujiwara, Yuki Amami, Teruyuki Kagawa, Taro Yamamoto, Ken Mitsuishi, Suzuki Matsuo, Kei Sato, Kenichi Matsuyama (special appearance) Director: Toya Sato Genre: Thriller RunTime: 2 hrs 10 mins Released By: Encore Films & Cathay-Keris Films Rating: PG Opening Day: 11 March 2010 In Japanese with English & Chinese Subtitles
Synopsis: KAIJI is an exciting psychological thriller starring Tatsuya Fujiwara as Kaiji, man forced to enter a deadly gambling competition aboard a cruise ship, to erase a large financial debt. This movie is the first time that “Death Note” co-stars Tatsuya Fujiwara and Kenichi Matsuyama are reuniting to work together! Based on Nobuyuki Fukumoto’s hit manga series which has sold over 11 million copies, Kaiji is a 26 year-old job-hopping bum who suddenly finds himself riddled in debt after a shadowy loan company informs him that he is responsible for a loan taken by his friend (who has since gone missing) and whom he casually co-signed as a loan guarantor for! The company gives Kaiji the solution of a lifetime – to take a short journey on the “Espoir,” a ship where other debtors such as himself gamble to pay off their debt and try to strike it rich at the same time. The rules of the gambling games seem simple at first but there’s much more than meets the eye… Now stuck in a closed world of unsavory characters willing to do anything to defeat him, the game that will totally change Kaiji’s life has begun!
Movie Review: For every Japanese movie released in cinemas, chances are nine out of ten are likely based on a manga or anime despite the country having a rich literary world of their own. "Kaiji: The Ultimate Gambler" is no exception as it is based on Noboyuki Fukumoto’s hit manga series and starred Tatsuya Fujiwara (Death Note) as the leading man, Kaiji Ito. With his half-heartening working attitude at a convenience store, Kaiji Ito is a young man who has no ambition of his own or plans for his future. Until one day, a mysterious woman, Rinko Endo appeared and demands Kaiji to return a debt of $2 million yen (with compounded interest), a loan he has casually signed as guarantor for a friend. There’s no way on earth Kaiji can returned the money and Endo offers him a solution - To get onboard a luxurious cruise ship, Espoir where he can clear his debt but also a chance to make a lot of money overnight. But what Endo never tell him is that it’s a deadly gambling competition he is entering onboard and there’s no going back if he loses. When you talked about 'gambling' in movies, you might think of Chow Yun-Fat’s God of Gambler or Stephen Chow’s All For The Winner where the protagonist normally is a gifted card player. But "Kaiji: The Ultimate Gambler" is not opting for the easy road as it does not deal with just an ordinary deck of poker cards. What we have is stage one, a Scissors Paper Stone card battle, if you lose you are forced into hard labor for an underground real-estate project perhaps for the rest of your life or take up the challenge of the Steel Beam Crossing Death Race to redeem your freedom. Participants must cross successfully on a narrow steel beam stretching from one skyscraper to another that is if they managed to escape being electrocuted or fall to their death. And if you are still alive by the end of stage two, you still need to play an E-card strategy game to win a whole load of money against the despicable host and right-hand man of the shadowy Teiai group, Tonegawa. This might sound terrifying exciting as compared to Chow Yun-Fat eating chocolates or Stephen Chow clowning around with his 'mo-lei-tau' jokes inbetween their card-playing sessions. "Kaiji" in fact has far more serious issues on hand. Director Toya Sato (Gokusen the Movie) who started his career with Nippon Television seems to fall back on his goggle-box days and took his time to develop the sinister plot and characters. Not that there is a lot of information being conveyed to the audience at the end of the day. In fact, we are still left hanging in the air about the mysterious Teiai group which Endo works for, this is one glaring flaw perhaps done on purpose by the filmmakers. The gap between the first and second game stretches far beyond one expected and the lull period allows the introduction of a character or eye candy called Makoto Sahara played by Kenichi Matsuyama (also from the Death Note series) to make an extended cameo to satisfy the teenage fanbase. Fortunately the wait is worthwhile, the Steel Beam Crossing Death Race sequence that defies the success of the movie with its calculated amount of tension will grip you tightly to your seat. Tatsuya Fujiwara’s portrayal of Kaiji is whiny and you might blame him for being too much of a crybaby but he put in his best performance to be the underdog and a man caught between being a loser and his desire to escape his fate. Veteran actor Teruyuki Kagawa is the one who stole the show with his menacing performance as Yukio Tonegawa. At times the revelation of the games’ outcome come across as the ones in "Death Note" whereby the protagonists are often required to deliver chunks of dialogues in the capacity of revealing the various bits and pieces of the puzzle to the audience. Then again, employing a similar treatment in "Kaiji" with truckloads of dialogues somehow kills the pacing and excitement as the audience I’m sure are smart enough to follow through the mind-bending tactics, tricks and the rules of the games. This is one obvious downside of this movie that unnecessarily prolonged the running duration. The manga series was a hit with fans with its clever study of the psychological behaviour of the different characters and the unique gambling ideas dreamt up by Noboyuki Fukumoto. In this live-action version, part of the fun is spotting common human flaws such as greed, temptation and the ugly façade of human beings. The movie has certainly showcased the strength of the original manga material thus explaining the glowing box-office in Japan in addition to a sequel being greenlit. In conclusion, does the movie make a stand whether it’s morally right to treat gambling as a form of life-changing experience? "Kaiji: The Ultimate Gambler" for sure carries zilch irresponsible messages or else the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG) will come knocking in no time.
