The Runaways
2010
Kristen Stewart as Joan Jett|Dakota Fanning as Cherie Currie
——
This movie was AMAZING. I do have to say before I continue, is that the movie is pretty dark but if they really focused moreso on Cherie’s story(If you’ve read her book Neon Angels), it’d be even darker(obviously it was a movie though so I’m pretty sure they couldn’t and/or fit it all).
The movie mostly focused on Joan and Cherie’s relationship which I kinda expected when I saw the 2 actresses being portrayed on the cover. It made me kind of mad that they didn’t really focus on the others cept Fowley, Currie, and Jett.
Another thing was how much the story jumped in the story. Yes, it’s a movie…there’s a time limit and budget obviously…but it just wasn’t threaded real nicely.
On another hand, it was very refreshing to see Kristen not playing some fag role in a movie(*cough* Twilight *cough*). I do like her as an actress but that movie just totally bombed her rep. The movie though, she clicked so good with it and she really pulled off the Jett role very well. Dakota Fanning, everytime I see her, I feel like I’m still a little kid…not realizing she’s 2 years older than me and I’m already 15. She played the role so good and I never realized till watching this, how much she has blossomed into a young woman.

I only have 1 link. It’s a bitch with buffering and sometimes you’ll have to even refresh the page and click back to the spot you were cause the picture would start lagging really bad. Other than that, the picture was alittle above tolerable(another link I had was so pixelated -_-) and the sound is normal, you just have to turn up the volume a little bit more than usual.
Watch here!

Doraemon: Notiba’s Great Battle of the Mermaid King
ドラえもん のび太の人魚大海戦
(Doraemon Nobita no Ningyo Daikaisen)

This was another good one. It’s way recent(2010 I think) it had a more vague “message” to it but it was cute. I don’t want to go into detail cause I have a headache and I need to get ready for bed :P.

Subbed:
Link 1
Link 2
——
Link 1 is a divX video. Remember to download the web player for it, or it won’t work. Link 2 is flash, but it’s megavideo so pause the video first, then once fully buffered, cut off the internet so you won’t get kicked off at the 75 minute mark.

Doraemon: Nobita and The Animal Planet
のび太とアニマル惑星
(Doraemon: Nobita to Animaru Puranetto)
——
I’ve always loved the Doraemon series but I never really got around to watching many of the movies. I’ve seen only like 2 or three. They are actually quite harder to find on the internet than other 80’s-90’s anime movies like Sailor Moon and such. Even it’s newer ones(2000’s+) are hard to find and the videos break a lot :(.
So back to the movie, it’s obviously directed towards kids who are still very impressionable to take care of the environment and respect your surroundings. It was quite touching, actually, but it’s easy to see it’s message if you aren’t a child lol.

Subbed:
Link 1

I could only find one link and it’s flash but it’s on Veoh, so it requires their web player for anything thats over a half an hour(not a harmful file, nor it’s big. Downloads really quick too). If it’s not working for you I’ll try to find another link but it’ll probably be a divX and those tend to break more than regular flash. I think this one will work for you guys. I had no problems with it at all :).

The Borrower Arrietty
借りぐらしのアリエッティ
(Kari-gurashi no Arietti)

Um, currently this movie hasn’t been released in America yet(that I know of since I last checked) so I just watched the subbed(I prefer subbed over dubbed anyways) when I found out people finally uploaded the damn movie.
The movie was another amazingly heartwarming movie from Studio Ghibli and I wasn’t disappointed at all. I was really excited to find the links actually because I was really anticipating it when I found out they were working on this movie. It’s a very cute and subtle movie. In some ways, it makes you appreciate the little things in life.

Subbed:
Link 1(scroll down alittle bit, the video will be there)
Link 2
——
As how I usually do it, I put a DivX player link first and then a flash. For DivX, it requires a download to play from their site. DivX is 1000000x higher quality most of the time but it gets so buggy with me and it takes time to buffer.
Flash, obviously there should be no problem. If you use megavideo, don’t play the movie. Press pause, let the whole movie buffer, then cut off the internet and play the movie so you aren’t hindered by the 72 minute mark. A link to the megavideo ver. is here.

If you need new links, just pop a msg in my ask.
Enjoy!~

The Red Shoes
     분홍신

Well, it’s been awhile since I’ve watched a Korean horror. This one was pretty good. The plot kind of got messy though. Hard to keep track of what was going on. I didn’t like the sudden introduction of new characters and their sudden leavings too. Other than that, it was good. As usual, Korean horrors usually have that weird twist at the end, so as expected, this one did too.
Very gory, but in a stylish way lol.
btw…the shoes were MAD cute. I’d wear them if they weren’t cursed lol.

I actually have this movie on dvd so I didn’t watch it online. If any of you guys want to watch it, message me and I will try to find a link for you.

Pom Poko

I never got around to watching this one either when I was on my Ghibli spree. Very cute movie. It got very bitter-sweet towards the end T^T;…

Link 1 is subbed and is divX.
Link 2 is dubbed and is Veoh.
Remember to download the web player and whatever else is required to play these videos.

I could not find another subbed link. Most ones I could find were dubbed. If neither work, message me and I will try to fish for another link.
I watched it on link 2 cause for some reason, my divX player has been very stupid.

Sakuran

Wonderful movie. Oh my x3~~ Deffinetely reccommend this to people who are into the whole Oiran culture. Very colorful and funny. Anna Tsuichiya was AWESOME in this movie. Very witty. I do say though, this movie can be very explicit since the nature of Oirans and building up to that status was prositution. It’s not full fledged porno, but at some parts you do see and hear things o_o;; Don’t watch around family or children!!!

I could only find one link that had a working video with english subs. I had a hard time letting it buffer(probably my internet causing that) so I just clicked the download link at the bottom of player. This player requires Codec-C which they provide the download for you. If you download the actual movie, it’s almost 1gig and it’s in .mp4 format.

NITABOH The Shamisen Master
NITABOH 仁太坊―津軽三味線始祖外聞
(Nitaboh: Tsugaru Shamisen Shiso Gaibun)
——
Very enticing movie. It was around 100 minutes long, and oh my was it worth the time. If you are into historical Japanese movies, then here’s your ticket to a great one. It’s starts off in the late Edo Period and slowly progesses into the next(1853-1875 it says in the movie when it says how many years in certain parts). Anyways~ It was a VERY good movie and I deffinetly reccommend this.

There’s no divX links I can find to this movie. Both are flash. Link 1 is to youku site(a chinese site but don’t worry, just press play and thats it. No time limit or other stupid stuff. Don’t get intimidated by all the stuff on the page too XD!)
Link 2 just go’s to megavideo and I’ve already went in depth about that.

I hope some of you enjoy this movie like I did! :)

Princess Mononoke
もののけ姫 (mononoke-hime)

I know this movie is popular and stuff but I never got around to watching this when I was on my Studio Ghibli spree. It’s good. I loved it lol. Not much to say, because I might spoil it, but I will say I reccommend this movie.

Dubbed:

I provided each subbed and dubbed links with 1 divX player and one regular flash, so if you prefer a quick loading but not perfect quality link, just go with the flash(link 2). If you have downloaded divX and it works fine for you, click link 1.

I think the veoh.com links require you to download their web player also to unlock the whole video. If so, it’s ok. I have it, no viruses, no popups, or whatever. It’s a smaller download than divX too.

Miyori’s Forest

すごい！！！
This movie was really good :). I loved the character progression of Miyori and her determination to being the forest’s guardian~

Very cute and the forest spirits were very adorable ^_^;

I watched this one with DivX player, so if you want to watch it on link 1, please download the DivX player here.

Link 2 is just to megavideo. TIP: If you have some patience, pause the video and let it buffer all the way then disconnect the internet so megavideo doesn’t kick you off at a certain time cause you “ran out your time limit” or whatever.
I’d rather wait a bit to watch a full movie instead of getting to the good part and suddenly having to wait 75 minutes just to get back to it.
