The Trap (1996)

The final part of the Maiku Hama trilogy.

It gets a bit messy and convoluted, but still a lot of fun. Right when everything is finally going right for him, Maiku is framed in a giallo-flavored murder case and has to clear his name.

I could've watched a dozen more of these, easily.

The Stairway to the Distant Past (1995)

The second entry in the Maiku Hama trilogy, now in color.

And HOLY SHIT.

This one starts off as a light comedic romp with our eccentric private eye, and then it spirals into a feverishly strange nightmare descent into the traumas of post-occupation Japan.

The Most Terrible Time in My Life (1994)

What an absolute treat. A stylish, silly, and extremely violent love-letter to the Japanese New Wave.

The first of the Maiku Hama trilogy. Going to need to watch them all now.

The Killer (1989)

John Woo: "what if the assassin from Le Samourai was played by Chow Yun-fat and he was literally the coolest guy ever and he was extremely good at guns and also the lead detective chasing him down wanted to become his best friend"

me: "hell yeah, brother, fuck yeah"

Now Reading: Blindsight by Peter Watts

I've only started this one, and we already have vampires being a real, predatory subspecies of humans that were accidentally brought back through genetic experimentation

and this is just a background detail in a sci-fi story about alien contact

reminding myself "this is an injury," and getting the parasympathetic nervous system to chill the fuck out are super crucial. it's not a panacea but there are some attacks it's very helpful for. Just reminding the body "you are not in danger right now" helps

one thing that helps me through the trauma is to tell myself "this is not happening right now, my mind is attempting to protect me by keeping me vigilant, but I am not presently in danger" and similar

my abuser repeatedly told me I'd never be anything without her because she made sure everyone thought it was all her doing.

one of the most difficult things to do after you've gotten away from an abuser, is convincing yourself that you are not the person they told you that you are

it's the last remnant of the power and control they tried to exert over you, to prevent you from giving yourself the kindness you deserve

Rouge (1987)

a tragedy in the form of ghost story, serving as a warning about romanticizing the past

Anita Mui is heartbreaking in her role as a ghost returning to Hong Kong 50 years after her death, looking for her lost lover that didn't cross over with her

Only the River Flows (2023)

gotta love a police procedural that takes a left turn at "detective slowly loses his mind over an unsolvable case and the film itself unravels with him"

also, bonus points for being shot on 16mm and emulating the look of a 90s film to match the time period/setting

been in a mood for some horror movies. guess it's time to catch up on recent releases

hopefully I'll find something that hits right, feels like it's been... years since I saw anything that *really* resonated with me

A Night in Nude (1993)

oh yeah, now that's a top shelf neo-noir

grimy, dreamlike, sad, and phenomenally shot

watching His Motorbike, Her Island (1986) only confirmed my belief that motorcycles are the most romantic vehicle you can possibly put on film
