Your Name (2016) - Rewatch on DVD
Still incredible. Even better the second time around. I checked this out from the library again, but it's definitely worth buying. Makoto Shinkai has crafted an amazing story and an equally amazing cast of characters, and the animation is wholly stunning. Funimation's English dub is also flawless from top to bottom. ADR directors Michael Sinterniklaas and Audrey Burne (and Usagi Tsukino/Sailor Moon) herself Stephanie Sheh are excellent as Taki Tachibana and Mitsuha Miyamizu, the two protagonists who switch bodies, genders, and lifestyles at random times and eventually develop feelings for each other through their time in the other's body, which means they switch characters on occasion. Sinterniklaas is especially convincing as a country girl in a city boy's body as is Sheh as the reverse. I love the scene where Taki-as-Mitsuha grabs her dad by the tie and goes, "You son of a.." and also the one where Mitsuha-as-Taki says, "I could live on what these pancakes cost for a month." Credit also has to go to Shinkai for showing their reactions to the switch without feeling the need to be gross about it. They make the characters likable and easy to connect with, capturing every emotion the two leads experience with aplomb. When they feel sad, we feel sad, when they're busting a gut laughing, we're busting a gut laughing, and when they feel relieved, we feel relieved. All the rest, including Laura Post as Miss Okudera, Catie Harvey as Mitsuha's younger sister Yotsuha, Michelle Ruff in a flashback as Mitsuha's mother, are also excellent, the dub script is completely natural, and Sinterniklaas and Sheh make absolutely sure the dialogue matches the animation. The musical score and songs by RADWIMPS are incredible. Especially cool is that lead singer Yojiro Noda, who sings the songs in Japanese, also sings them in English for the dub. My favorites would have to be Dream Lantern and Nandemonaiya, especially the latter, which play over the opening and closing, respectively. With all the pieces in place, Shinkai has crafted a fun and emotionally rewarding film that offers a fresh and unique view on the human condition and certainly deserves all the affection that's been heaped upon it. Arigatō, Shinkai-san. They don't make 'em like this nearly enough.

John Wick 3: Parabellum (2019) - Chad Stahelski

- One of the most badass cinematic experience ever. Keanu Reeves is just a beast this guy is astounding is so many ways and he make his own stunts. I hope I could be that badass at 54 years old (I can dream). Storyline is pretty simple but the choregraphy and the fighting scenes are amazing. I want moreeeeeee and I can't wait for the 4th one. Love it.
