I bought 6 DVDs during the weekend, that's a total of $50 wasted. I was working for the SEAS booth for the Senior Day 2002 in the Culture Center. I owe SEAS 6.5 hours of work, so I needed to make up for it. After work, I planned to head home directly. Then for some reason I decided to check out the video shop there instead. Well, an hour later, you can guess what happened. It was such a great deal, 3 DVDs for $25 tax included. I initially only wanted to buy 3 of them, but then the movie "Laputa Castle in the Sky" caught my eye. I was under the impression that the movie itself ( made by Studio Ghibli in 1986 ) was never realeased either domistically in Japan or Internationally on DVD. However, there it was, a DVD copy of the movie, right there in front of me. I just knew I had to get it, so instead of paying for the $15 on the price tag, I decided to go for the $25 special, pretty smart eh? Here's what I got: My Sassy Girl MY Wife is a Gangster Laputa, Castle in the Sky Spirited Away (the Japanese version, so it's "Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi" ) Gojoe ( The Record of the War of the Five Bridge, at least that's what the title says, the Chinese on the cover says "Ying Xiong" or "Hideo" for hero ) Musa ( or Warrior ) Among all these movies, I only regret buying Gojoe. Such a boring movie with plot that doesn't make sense. The sword fighting sucks too, Japanese should stick with making anime and love stories, not action movies. My Wife is a Gangster is ok, but it's not as good as some people told me. Everything else I really enjoyed watching. Oh, go get Musa if you can, it's pretty cool.
