Remember Me

Description:
A romantic drama centered on two new lovers: Tyler, whose parents have split in the wake of his brother's suicide, and Ally, who lives each day to the fullest since witnessing her mother's murder.
                                        
I thought it was going to be worse, since I did not like Robert Patterson at all in the Twilight Saga. But this movie made me see he is not that bad of an actor…now if only I could like Kristen Stewart more. Moving on, the movie was more music than anything. The ending seems a little tossed in, not really the closure I was looking for. Also, apparently it takes the death of two kids to notice that one needs to care more. If both die at 22, does that mean they are going to lock the girl up in a room when she turns 22, so she does not die?

How to Date an Otaku Girl

Description:
College student Mutou Ookawa catches a glimpse of Ametani Yuiko, his co-worker from a former part-time job and falls immediately in love. Summoning up his courage, he eventually confesses his feelings to her and she responds "...but I'm a fujoshi." Mutou not having the slight clue what "fujoshi" means, immediately responds "That's OK!"
                                                            
It was a funny movie, with barely any real conflict. As Princess Fluffy and I were watching it, she kept asking questions, since she had/ probably still has no idea what was going on at some points. Only two conflicts(?), them getting use to each other, and then her moving. Sure, it's more realistic than anything I have watched up to now, but I had gotten used to it.
Spoilers:
Some things to point out, she warns him that she is an otaku, because there has been negativity towards otakus. It's a big deal to hold hands in Japan, since most Japanese people do not show affection such as holding hands and hugging in public. The fish symbolize their relationship.

The Cat Returns

Description:
The story is of a girl named Haru, a quiet, shy and unassuming high school student who has a suppressed ability to talk with cats. One day, she saves a darkly-colored, odd-eyed cat from being hit by a truck on a busy road. The cat is Lune, Prince of the Cat Kingdom. As thanks, the cats give Haru gifts of catnip and mice, and she is offered the Prince's hand in marriage. Her mixed reply is taken as a yes.
                                                           
Interesting movie. One of the few movies I can't really foretell much on. After watching it, Princess and I were trying to figure out the movie title; normally we don't talk about movies too in-depth, since most don't call for any real thinking, and sure we love things to be easy sometimes it's too easy and we want to know our brains are working. The literal translation makes more sense to me, The Cat's Repayment, but this one makes more sense on a higher level of thought.
