A Dog's Life - 3.5/10. Well that was stupid. A short silent movie about a homeless guy adopting a puppy, finding some massive fortune because of said dog, and getting into slapstick shenanigans through sheer stupidity. Seriously, the attempts at comedy here are piss-poor at best, with all of it consisting of people losing all of their brain cells and acting artificially stupid. The whole conflict could be resolved in five minutes if people actually used their heads! Don't waste your time on this one. Just stupid all around.
Her Blue Sky - 7.5/10. A lot better than I thought it'd be. It's a nice, heartfelt story about coming to terms with your past and the ups and downs of adulthood, but pacing issues, lack of time to flesh out certain characters and subplots, and compressed structure make it feel like it'd be better as a TV series than a movie. Also, the present day version of the main guy is a huge jerkface who's needlessly cruel to the girl who admired him so much, and one other girl was just a shallow brat who didn't add anything to the movie at all.
A Whisker Away - 6/10. Man, I wish I could like this more than I do! A movie about an insecure girl turning into a cat to find love and affection from someone seems right up my alley!...but the writing and execution are just all over the place. The main character is annoying, selfish, and creepy, but the movie doesn't seem to realize this and wants us to sympathize with her and her inappropriate behavior, the other characters are bland, I wish the cat island had been explored more, and all sorts of things. At least the music and animation were great. But man, I really expected better from Junichi Sato and Mari Okada.
