image source: https://www.cinemaclock.com/movies/body-double-1984  I haven't felt the tension like this for quite a while. The story follows a claustrophobic actor, Jake who got a bad luck with his acting world and his relationship. And someone offers Jake a strange gig: house-sitting and watering his plants. Oh, and watching the neighbor through a telescope. He takes the job and... The guy also introduces peeping into a girl while Jake is still at his home. But Jake finds out something is wrong when he notices a suspicious man tailing the girl he’s been watching, turning voyeurism into a possibly bigger mystery.  I don't want to spoil too much.

Even if the long take takes so lo...

I wasn't a big fan of W first time watching now I can tell I appreciate it more and love it even more after a rewatch. I think it has so many good things that make fans love it so much. Great, great, likable character. You can't help but fall in love with the characters, Shotaro, Philip, Akiko (thou she's annoying), Terui Ryu and other non-main character like Jin San the cop, the informant, and Santa chan.

Rope is a story about a couple of friends who're trying to bring sensation (at least that is how describe it) by killing their friend and making a party after it. But they make a mistake when they invited Rupert, a man who's easily get suspicious about all.  Here's the thing, i don't remember but i think it was happening while i watch this movie... This movie was filmed in one take didn't it? I didn't realize until half of the movie. This movie doesn't tell but it shows from the dialogue, character interaction, character expression, the beautiful camera shot (when Ruppert is trying to read what he would have done to David if he was the murderer). The movie is more intense as it progresses towards the end. All the acting was superb. God what a movie. Love it. This is my se...
