Movies

Gemini (Soseiji) 1999 - A story by Edogawa Ranpo, from the director of Tetsuo the Iron Man. I keep hoping somone will translate more Ranpo into english before I die, but there seems to be more of a market for teen romance manga. Anyway, this is one of those movies somebody probably thinks is the greatest thing they have ever seen because everything is as weird and crazy as possible and nobody has eyebrows, and they create drama by jerking the camera around instead of actually having some kind of skill or intention. Lots of bright colors and moving objects in some parts, and some scenes are interesting to look at. Maybe I'm still just mad from earlier in the evening. 3/10
