We watched Journey to the Centre of the Earth (a 3-D film adaptation of the novel of the same name by Jules Verne) and Murder of the Inugami Clan (A Japanese Film)...
Journey to the Centre of the Earth
Rating: PGGenre: Action
Language: English with Chinese subtitles
Director: Robert Luketic, Eric Brevig
Cast: Alyssa Milano, Josh Hutcherson, Brenan Fraser, Anita Briem
Runtime: 93 mins
Based on a novel by Jules Verne "Journey To The Center Of The Earth" tells a tale of a troubled young boy who followed his uncle to explore a fantastic world beyond the imaginable where they will find mystery, excitement, and danger.
If you ask me whether I would like to go down to the Centre of the Earth, I would tell you this: "No Thanks! I rather go to the one in Tokyo DisneySea!" The world beneath is so unimaginable and full of danger! Me being so clumsy sure cannot survive the dino chase, magnetic floating rocks and the thin floor that couldn't hold my weight and would give way anytime! I would definitely be the first to be baked under the risting temperature... But then, I really enjoy the thrilling ride at the theme park and would like to return for another ride again. :)

Rating: NC16Consumer Advice: Some Violence and Nudity

Language: Japanese with English and Chinese subtitles
Director: Kon Ichikawa
Cast: Koji Ishizaka, Nanako Matsushima, Kikunosuke Onoe, Sumiko Fuji, Keiko Matsuzaka, Hisako Manda
Runtime: 136 mins
Legendary director Kon Ichikawa's final feature film. When the wealthy Inugami patriarch dies leaving a huge estate, their lawyer hires detective Kindaichi as a series of mysterious murders befalls the family--from attempted drownings, poisonings, to beheadings. A web of deceit, adultery and greed is revealed as the family gathers for the reading of the will, and the race for the inheritance turns even deadlier.
A 金田一 detective film... I've always like to read and watch detective stories since young. This film was confusing and slow at times. There were a lot of suspense but not a lot of scary scenes (only the one that showed the masked man revealing his true identity). However, I quite enjoyed watching Nanako Matsushima on the screen again. She still looks fabulous.
