Double Review: Kiki’s Delivery Service / Howl’s Moving Castle
Kiki's Delivery Service Another one of Indi's favorites. I sat down prepared for a cute animated film and was not disappointed. I don't think it carried near the heft that Totoro did as far as the story is concerned, as it felt like a more traditional fish-out-of-water coming-of-age story, just in a slightly fantastical reality. … Continue reading Double Review: Kiki’s Delivery Service / Howl’s Moving Castle

Michael Jackson Memory
Most that know me know I'm a child of the 80's. I love 80's memorabilia and especially music. When news broke that Michael Jackson was dead, I was as shocked as everyone else. Seeing it on Indonesian TV was a little surreal. I'm not going to talk about "omg he was innocent" or "he molested … Continue reading Michael Jackson Memory
