The other schedules are for CCP and Shangri-la Plaza, so I decided not to include them in this post. ;P Let's watch one of these films! Come on people! Just like before, then we can go head to cello's or Grill Queen something after. XD I looked up the films on the internet, and most have a pretty good rating and good reviews:

Shangri-la - Revenge. pero nice daw. I dunno if I want to watch this though. 0_0
Out of this World - joe odagiri is in this(guy in shinobi XD). about post war japan and a group of guys (they're a band) trying to make it in the Japanese music industry. Each guy has a story and a reason for trying to make it in the industry.
Blue Spring - nice daw... all-boy school gang story, each with his side/background story, etc. Violent, and often compared to Battle Royale.
Inochi - aww.. "live long enough to hear him say my name." sad in a touching kinda way. Girl gets preggy with some married guy and so an ex-bf who's dying of cancer agrees to help her. But i have a feeling this is gonna end very sadly. 0_0 For some strange reason, I was reminded of axyll and deepscar, in that Deepscar will take care of axyll's son even though it's not his, etc. XD
Kamikaze Girls - comedy-drama about 2 girls who are so different - nice and really funny, with a super nice soundtrack! A review mentioned that the only bad thing about it was its US name: Kamikaze girls. XD
Hotel Hibiscus - so~so. family comedy.
Harmful Insect - psychological isolation of a young girl. might be interesting
No One’s Ark - :( - depressing ata... ends in failure for the lead characters...
The Stars Converge - jap girl meets korean guy, the two hit it off and decide to meet again the next year, same event. As things would have it, the said event was cancelled...
Blue - lesbian drama... i think. 0_0

Let's watch something~
