Second place, here was also awarded the Academy Award in two categories "Dreamgirls". Threesome female chorus group dreams even while drawing a show over the business community of the success stories, dirty lurking in the back, shed light on the human drama of the feud and betrayal was muddy. Especially not to be missed in this work, more than the presence of starring, Beyonce, singing and acting skills of the great power of the supporting cast, Jennifer Hudson. Only she put the Oscar in hand in the movie's first appearance is, you might say that a real dream girl. Similarly, in the Hollywood work at the 4-position "Spider man 3"Cameron Diaz at the 5-position, Kate Winslet starring romantic comedy"Holiday", Laughter comedy that unfolds on the stage of the Natural History Museum is comedian Ben Stiller at the 6-position"Night At The Museum"I was ranked at the top.

Next, while the mini-theater screenings, social faction documentary was to follow in the upper third place "Darwin's Nightmare". Wealth to bring the giant fish Nile perch that have been released into Lake Victoria in Africa, on the other hand Nile perch is destruction of nature that cause, further poverty, the reality that there are children suffering from AIDS. Does this Nile perch is when you know the fact that being sold in Japan in the supermarket, for such we should take any such action? It it's easy not to eat Nile perch for nature protection, So what about Africa? Look at this movie, to know the reality, and what can not do or will not than I'm sure many people that I was annoyed to myself. I strongly feel that can not be of the negative spiral of the horrors of that exit never. Of this website "BUNKA × PERSON"But because you have an article published this work at the end of last year, please take a look if you are interested.

As well as the mini-theater documentary, was ranked in the upper level is genius Alexander Sokurov of supervision "Celebration of Rostropovich life". Speaking of Sokurofu, Hitler was a hero movie "Molech God", was the protagonist of the Lenin "Taurus", such as movie the "sun", which was the leading role of the Emperor Showa, in a sense, and a director who does not fear the taboo you say. "Celebration of Rostropovich life." This is, instead hit the work up to now, worldwide cellist to represent Russia, documentary heartwarming look back on a life of 80 years of Rostropovich. Japan about talent seek conductor, Seiji Ozawa and the teacher to be representative is, of course, in a carefully drawn works married love with his wife-Vishinefusukaya an opera singer, in TokyoImage ForumI got strong support in spite of the single museum screenings only.

Although the Hollywood epic movie was conspicuous and look back on the movie rankings of the first six months, among them, "Sonata for good""Darwin's NightmareMini theater system for movies such as "was to put up a good fight. I think that after "Bowling For Columbine" by Michael Moore, but to face the taboo as this recent trend, Historical casts posed problems to us, has been drawing attention to the social faction work. Also only 60 years from the end of World War II, today that has undergone nearly 20 years from Berlin collapse, depicting the dark of the German Nazi "Sonata for good", "Black Book"And, also for a growing number of public, such as" Letters from Iwo Jima, "which depicts the desperate struggle of the Japanese military and the US military of end of World War II, it may be because age is seeking to know the truth. Peace, to also talk about the environment, I thing that our own does not become a story if you do not know anything.

Well, if you are out of the work that was ranked in the top 20, I saw in the theater about what this? Busy, anyone who missed is, Why not take a look at the rental.
