TRUST: "Trust" is the first part of this beautiful but brutal "Samurai X" double feature. Just catching the very few moments of the beginning of this film captured my interest and I just couldn't stop watching. A terrific intro to the "Samurai X" trilogy.
BETRAYAL: "Betrayal" unfolds nicely into a somewhat romantic story which lightly softens things up but interestingly intensifying the dramatic tone for a very deep impact in the end. Beautifully twisted.
A very enjoyable assassin flick that both sexes will enjoy. Romance for the ladies and swordplay for the boys.
My kind of "Chick Flick". This film is dreadfully good and the girls are absolutely what I like, they're dark, deliberate and deadly... indeed a dangerous combination.
It's been a while since I've seen a decent "horror flick" and I'm still pretty buzzed out about this movie. I saw the sequel years back and I've always wanted to see where it all started and I'm glad I finally did.
This is definitely one for them "Horror Heads" and indeed a treat!
This film had an unusual affect on me and I couldn't stop thinking about it after I'd seen it.
I'd forgot that this was a vampire flick and had myself drawn to the loyal bond between predator and prey, something like a forbidden romance between a wolf and lamb.
STUNNING! This is a film for those who have a sweet tooth for ACTION! A movie that both girls and boys will enjoy.
It starts off as a delicate drama about a girl who is disabled, but... it then blends into this 'WOW' thing. It just blows you away and you find yourself excited as she finds her autistic gift which is unfortunately a curse to those who cross her path.
It has heart wrenches filled with fist clenching moments and it leaves your face in screws when you see what she can do to her enemies.
--This is "ONG BAK" meets "THE OTHER SISTER".,. Brilliant!!
I loved this film and still do. Its stylish! This is the guy that all the boys wanna be like.
He's cool, smooth and rough at the same time, but he's also smart and importantly... he's got a Big Gun. His mysteriousness keeps things interesting making us boys wanna be like him and girls wanna be with him.
Its a Classic! The flow of the story is quite simple and I guess the simplicity makes this film quite a beauty.
Its old but its definitely a goody! I watched this not long ago in 2009 and its still very enjoyable to watch despite its release date.
If you haven't seen it yet then go and watch it or buy it. It's only $10(New Zealand Currency) which is around about $7(U.S.A Currency) so its not that expensive unless you buy the copy with DVD extras which is a "Few Dollars More".
The movie continues from the last episode of the series and fills in the gap where we thought it suddenly ended.
This movie can be watched by anyone but,.. I do strongly recommend that you check out the series first before you watch this to get a proper understanding of what's going on in the movie.
'The Fullmetal Alchemist' is no doubt one of my favorite Anime series.
Very Original, today its still cool and I can't believe that I can understand what the Matrix is about.. I;m usually a bit duhh?? when comes to these types of films ha ha ha ^_^
Every boys dream to be the big shot... That's why we men and boys watch movies like this.. and like it too ha ha ha.. Sometimes we win some and sometimes we get a good hiding!! Rember, its just a movie!!! ha ha ha ^_^
A brave attempt but it didn't do it for me. It was probably legendary at its released date and I must say, there were some pretty interesting animation ideas that sort of surprised me knowing how pretty old this flick is.
Its funny when we say "No offense" just before we offend someone, well, "no offense" to those who gave more than 2 stars but it bored the crap out of me, but I'm glad it tickled your bum. (Remember "No offense")
It must be because I saw "Peter Jackson's" version, and as a result I find it hard to enjoy it and appreciate its true value. (Let's blame Peter!)
I saw this back in the day when I was still in school and I loved it! I thought I'd go out of my way and hire it cause I am aware that there is a sequel coming soon so I wanna refresh the memory before "Part 2" is out.
Watching this again was quite interesting. The humor is targeted for children so I noticed I didn't laugh as much as I did from what I remembered. It's better if you watch the film from a 9 year old's frame of mind and then you'll start laughing. (I know it sounds dumb but it worked for me)
I reckon this is a worthy check and the whole talking animal thing is truly believable!
It's a fun movie to watch with the family and it keeps entertaining the whole room with a nice story, cheap but well timed comedy and reasonable action to go with it.
This would of got 5 stars if I was still eight years old, I mean these are the films that I kept rewinding on VHS to watch over and over again but now... I don't feel the same, but I'll still consider it a classic in my library for all the enjoyment it gave me as a kid.
Super cool! Not many sequels can compliment their original films but this for me certainly did. Awesome stuff, vampires, werewolves and Michael the coolest hybrid.
The action is there, the artistry looks fantastic the whole film is my kind of flick in this genre. Cool actors and a awesome lead actress to bring this story to life and giving me an exiting 2 hour break from reality.
Watching this again has me swinging for the 4th installment and I cannot wait till I drench myself in another tale from the "Underworld".
Not bad... there is truth in the first part but the rest is made up, I hope they make a real one next time and including Bizzy Bone... but otherwise a good movie for Bone Thuggin' Fans ^_^
True to the core... There is something in this movie that ever body can relate to, from rape to suicide, from drugs to alcohol and gangs to gangsters from Parents to children, from boyfriends to girlfriends, from crime to criminals and depression to optimism, from loyal words to broken promises, from love to revenge and Traditions/cultures to poverty the list goes on... This movie does well to cover all such subjects based on the truest nature of any community...Local and Global.
Absolutely awesome.... Although this movie is old, the visuals are stunning! I don't know why they didn't consider this bunch of film makers for the Dragonball Evolution movie?? Makes Dragonball evolution look like crap!!!!
It is FREAKIN' AWESOME!!!! I'm going to watch it again cause the visuals are ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!! It has a very familiar story-line and plot that you've probably seen from older films, but it works, and what an INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE.
Filmed with the new 'Fusion Camera System' that gives you 'Enhanced 3-D'!!
I had quite a ride watching Episode 1,2 and 3 in a row. Honestly, the first half of Episode 1 was quite a drag for me but I put in effort to pay more than the usual attention to see what all the big fuss is about with the "Star Wars" flicks... I think I understand now that I've seen it and have jumped on the bandwagon.
Because I have already seen Episode 4,5 and 6 before this (because those parts actually came out before Episode 1,2 and 3), It was interesting to take note of how a lot the characters I had known from Episode 4,5 and 6 were introduced and how they came to be and why they got involved in what was about to take place.
My experience during this fourth installment which is actually the real Part 1 for "Star Wars" was an enjoyable one and I recommend that if you're going to watch this... then you have to see all the parts to really get the full impact!
Wow... This had a deep impact on me, I expected a kids movie.
There are elements of rejection, betrayal and questionable loyalty that makes this movie very real with situations that stir emotions and decisions that affect everybody.
Despite the reality of negativity, this film does well to encourage optimism, faith, hope and true loyalty. Its about doing things for others, making people happy and holding on to what you have until its gone.
I'm so glad that I've finally seen Part 2 and in 3D!
Its fun watching most of the popular "Super Heroes" in one flick but what I enjoyed most was the story telling. This version was awesome! Its darker and more sinister. I also got a glimpse of some of the other "Justice League" members who were gradually taken out of the group during the comics.
The animation is fantastic and from the credits I noticed a lot of Asian names, most likely Japanese and Korean I believe who mostly dealt with the art and animation department.
I haven't even seen the first 2 "Step Up" films but I had time and the money the other day and decided to watch something I don't usually go for. I was amazed tremendously with the whole performing arts side of this and the 3D did make a few dancing moments look spectacular.
The story however is very standard and very predictable or should I say that it is a story that we have seen and know very well and is probably why I decided to snatch half a star from it. It would of been a whole star but I did like the romantic undertones.
I very much enjoyed it and I would pay to see it again. Ultra cool and super awesome and again the performances is just blazing hot. I'm so glad I decided to watch this after all because it was straight up entertaining.
This brings it back! I remember this flick when it was new and I loved it, I just could not stop laughing. Now, it's not that funny for some reason, maybe I actually grew up but I'm still putting it in my faves for the enjoyment I recall from my initial experience.
It is funny all the way and although I did not laugh as hard as I did when I first watched it, I still managed to crack up. This is another flick where I think very young kids and old as people like my "Grandparents" who love the silliest stuff will burst out in laughter.
I would select this as a groupie choice especially for the boys cause we love crap like this, this strand of comedy causes us guys to roll over like animals and make lots of noise while girls look at us like we're stupid. Very funny indeed!
Here we go again and this time, let's take it to the streets! A pretty good sequel with more action and mayhem than the first. The infection from the first flick has now spread to the city and now we have a nice "Zombie Apocalypse" in our hands.
Again I'd like to say that it is more "sci-fi" than horror but it is still a good enough watch for me and my liking and I enjoyed it. "Milla Jovovich" rocks it up and we have a pretty cool hybrid-like hero who swings blades, shoots the guns and rides a motor cycle while doing it.
I like this flick more now as a movie rather than an adaptation of the R.E. games and seeing it right after the first R.E. flick is quite a good watch. Now it's time for "R.E: Extinction", let's go!
It's been a "Resident Evil" week for me! I just finished watching the entire saga beginning with this one. I must admit that back in the day I played the games and didn't like this movie because it was hardly like the game. This time round I decided to watch it not as an adaptation of the game, but just simply as a movie... and I enjoyed it more I must say.
It does take a wee bit to kick off but when it did and things started to unfold the interest was indeed kindled, although predictable. It's pretty awesome sci-fi rather than a horror and the action is not too bad either, actually quite entertaining.
Zombie hounds? That was pretty cool, I'd like to see some Zombie Lions, Tigers and Gorillas aye, try running from that! Anyway, it was a decent watch for me but I still say the game is more fun!!
Again not so scary since it's mostly day time and it still seems like a "Sci-fi" flick to me. Anyhow, I still enjoyed this movie and it is a lot better than the previous two that was released earlier. At least for me this movie collection has gotten better so far unlike the many trilogies and sagas that went backwards with disappointment.
An awesome dose of action and a kick-butt chick with super sonic powers! Zombie birds? that's a good one but I'm still waiting for my Zombie lions and guerrillas! A pretty decent follow up from "R.E: Apocalypse" and a nice conclusion that lets us know there's more!
Again I watched it as a movie on it's own rather than an adaptation of the game and it was yet another treat for my spare time. Now, bring on Part 4!!
The most funniest film I have seen this year!! A flick I found funny no matter alone, with friends and even with family, its just very entertaining and stupid in a stylish comedic although unoriginal way. No plot of the year here but just a really comfortable flow that I found easy to follow and willing to to see to the end.
The dramatic points in the movie really were serious and no joking around which I liked, usually comedies still add comedy in the crucial points that are suppose to be serious but this film really pumped the dramatic points which allowed me to ponder on the situation where as other funny films would distract me with laughter at those points of the story. Also I thought the players were very good.
I've known about "The Tyler Perry" flicks for a while now but this is actually the first I've seen of a "Tyle Perry" film and so far very impressive in terms of my type of humor. I do very much recommend it for groupie sessions or even a lonesome evening, day whatever. A nicely prepared dramatic side-dish complemented the film making it not entirely stupid.
What an awesome film, so glad I got it out of the library for a nosy. I had heard a lot about this flick and it was recommended to me by many but I didn't get the motivation to watch it until I spoke with my cousin in prison who was reading the books and so I made it a goal to check it out, and boy am I glad!
It is a brilliant film with interest ignitions all the way! A very lite but weird romance but great combinations of mysteries and twists that are well set in appropriate points. I can only imagine what an awesome read this must of been but I'll settle for this which I enjoyed thouroughly.
Another one for my "favorites" and I'm sure I'm not the only one. I strongly say "go for it" if you're hesitant because it's a really good watch for both sexes. A really fantastic cast with satisfying results.
One of the COOLEST flicks!! When this first came out and I'd seen it, I just was wow'ed and was totally into this "Underworld" of Werewolves and Vampires. I'm a "Blade" fan so this was naturally enticing and it delivered what I expected and more so to be true cause I watched it more than once.
I mentioned in my "Underworld: Rise of the Lycans" that I saw a fanmade edit which "Rise of the Lycans" and "Underorld" was edited into a single film, a straight to the point edit. That edit really told the story so well that everything I thought I knew was taken to another level coolness.
Watching it back to back with the other installments really intensifies the "Underworld" experience and for me I loved every minute!
