I had a spare time today. So I went to theater and saw “A Christmas Carol: An IMAX 3D Experience” with my wife. Its story was so-so but its experience was wonderful. Guess what? We can see it as 3D movie at least in Japan. We were wearing 3D glasses through the 90-minute show. I’ve seen 3D animation movie before, blue and red glasses was needed.
3D experience already exists around us; movies, cameras and TVs. Many 3D movies and DVDs will be released according to releasing 3D-TV next year. I’m looking forward to how our life will be changed !

We went to a cream puffs store in Takaido, Tokyo last month.
That store’s name is “Shirohige no Cream Puffs Bakary”, so-called cream puffs speciality shop. And those cream puffs are for “My Neighbor Totoro” which is one of the best movie in the Ghibli productions.

How lucky we can eat them, you realize that they are made very well when you see above our pictures. Thier tastes are two kind, custard normal and seasonal. They taste very goooood!!! They are not too sweet, controlled, and never tired, I think.

If you want to buy lots of them, you should reserve just in case. We were very lucky because we went on Sunday and could get them. We got the Totoro sticker as free gift.
If you have your children who are under 10 years old maybe, they will be pleased with those cream puffs. This is my recommendation.

I don’t remember how hot it was in Japan, at least in the U.S. it has attracted attention among movie fans.
I actually like ” world of only right and wrong” movies : the Batman is good and the Joker is evil. It is a great movie as simply action one. The cast doesn’t change since the previous work “Batman Begins“. In Japan, the previous one attracted attention better than “The Dark Knight” because Ken Watanabe acts in “Begins”.
Watching this movie reminds me of a TV cartoon which was broadcasting when I was about 10 years old maybe. It was very entertaining too.

“Van Helsing” is one of the movies that my wife recommends for me but I’ve never seen.
It is entertaining than I thought before. The story is very simple : vampire v.s. vampire hunter, and they fight. The compurter graphics is also natural, and I’ve never been bored during I was watching it. Hugh Jackman, the main actor, is suitable for this movie. I like his performance as he acts in “X-MEN” series.

Anyway, the time when we watch movies and relax is going down recently, even if we have a spare time.
I used to watch 4 to 5 movies a week and often go to a movie theater when I was a college student. I don’t any more. I don’t know the name of current popular actors and actresses, either.

Blogging article about movies remains me of my old movie portal web site. It was launched as soon as I entered the college, and provided the informations about movie : reviews, release informations, and theater maps. It was put on a Japanese famous magazine, and I got extra income. It was kind of “take-it-easy” job.

I went to Mitaka Ghibli Musium in Japan. This musium is a place where Hayao Miyazaki founded. He is, you know, one of the best director of animation. We can see the histroy of animation, the process of making, and the productions.
I’ve been there when I was a student, but It still remains fresh. For your information, taking photos inside the musium is banned. Enjoy to see the space not to take pictures.
There are a lots of park at Mitaka. If I lived there, my life will be changed.
