Tokyo Cowboy 2024 Movie Review Trailer

 Hideki is a man who can't quite find his place in the world. He's a mid-level executive at a financial firm in Japan. He's had minor success at his job and has been in a long-term relationship that he can't quite commit to.

Hideki is the main character in Tokyo Cowboy, directed by Marc Marriott and part of this year's SLO International Film Festival's narrative feature film program that promises a powerful exploration of the human experience.

Director: Marc Marriott
Writers: Dave Boyle, Ayako Fujitani
Stars: Arata Iura, Robin Weigert, Goya Robles

In an effort to impress his bosses (including his fiancée, who is his supervisor), Hideki heads to Montana convinced that he can turn a profitless American cattle ranch into a top-notch asset. The communication gap, both professional and personal, between Hideki and the ranch workers becomes immediately apparent as he struggles to navigate this new world.


Once Hideki realizes that he needs to understand the background of the situation and the ranchers, he does his best to adapt and learn both American cattle ranching culture and the English language.


Adapting and finding his place isn't without its fun challenges. For example, he tries to learn to ride a horse and the first thing he does is end up in the mud. The friendly ranch hand who used to be a rodeo star lends Hideki a formal rodeo suit that he looks ridiculous in. And the locals make fun of him for his clothes.


After meeting the crew and being asked about his plans in Japan and the U.S., he finds that he has more in common with the ranchers than he thought. He also realizes that he can combine what he knows about finance with the locals' experience to form a better team.


His journey of self-discovery also includes discovering that he hasn't taken into account what his fiancée wants and he resolves to do better.


Written by Dave Boyle and Akaya Fujitani, this is truly an international film. The first part is set in Japan with English subtitles. It then takes place in Montana and combines Japanese and English speech.

The Acolyte 2024 Tv Series Review Trailer Poster

 There are three main types of Star Wars stories. There's the kind where you write whatever you want and call it Star Wars, common in the many novels published in the 1990s. There's the kind where you recycle existing Star Wars stories and make them familiar; this has been the primary way of doing things at Disney. But finally, there are the stories that enthusiastically use Star Wars as a setting to create something new. There have been several novels that fit that profile, as did the first season of Andor, and now, four episodes in, it looks like the new Star Wars series The Acolyte, set a century before the movies, also fits the bill. in that category. . The Acolyte centers on a pair of twins, Osha and Mae (both played by Amandla Stenberg). The girls were raised by an unaffiliated coven of Force users, but despite living outside the Republic, the Jedi, including Carrie-Ann Moss's Indara, stuck their noses into these women's affairs, leading to the disaster. As a resu...

Nefarious 2023 Movie Review Trailer Poster Online

 NEFARIOUS is a supernatural thriller. A skeptical psychiatrist, Dr. James Martin, takes the place of another psychiatrist who committed suicide. Dr. Martin has to interview a convicted serial killer to see if he's sane enough to be executed. The prisoner tells the psychiatrist that he is a demon called Lord Nefarious. Martin asks Nefarious to prove that he is a demon, but he gets more than he bargained for by making such a foolish demand. NEFARIOUS is an intense and hair-raising thriller with some good twists, dramatic dialogue, great acting, and fascinating direction. It has a strong Christian worldview that dramatically depicts the battle between God and Satan's world of demonic evil. God is clearly more powerful, however. For example, in one scene a character appeals to God and God performs a miracle. However, NEFARIOUS has a very strong execution scene that warrants extreme caution. The movie also has three relatively light obscenities and some scary conversations with a m...
