The beginning of summer. Yuka, who has just divorced Haruki after three years of marriage, goes on vacation to a seaside town with her best friend Shina and her boyfriend Dazai. Reunited with Dazai, who she was once in love with, after a long time, Yuka's feelings for him gradually begin to rekindle. Meanwhile, Shina is attracted to Tenma, a poet who lives in the seaside town. Unrequited feelings and a peaceful daily life. The vacation has only just begun.
I came across Urchin by chance and decided to watch it because of the title. It made me think of the spiky animal that lives at the bottom of the ocean, and the old Dickensian novels, where an urchin was an orphaned, homeless child in shaggy and dirty clothes.

Steven Soderbergh’s Contagion is a fan-favorite, as are some of the more science fiction angled movies like 28 Days Later or World War Z. I recently watched the 1995 Wolfgang Peterson-directed movie, Outbreak for the first time, which is currently available on Netflix.
"Spider-Man: No Way Home" isn’t just a movie; it’s an experience. It's one of the best superhero movies thanks to the amazing writing, the fantastic performances from the actors, and a healthy helping of fan service.
“Ad Astra” is a film that possesses similar beats to sci-fi classics, falling into the realm of cinematic hypnotism, and pulling us in with its mysteriously intoxicating identity.
