Mononoke-hime (1997)
The best anime I have ever seen!
Seriously, this is the only anime I can say I have seen and liked.
The only animes I am familiar with are Dragon Ball, Sailor Moon, Pokemon, etc. You know the television shows. I didn't really like them because they never seemed to take anything seriously. I always wanted something serious from the cartoons, because they were extremely stupid. This movie changed all that.
One of my friends in school was telling me about this movie and I thought it sounded interesting. He let me borrow it and I instantly fell in love with it. Everything surprised me in this movie.
First off it was extremely long. I mean it in a good way. That a movie over two hours can keep me entertained is something special. (Only movies that can do this are the LOTR trilogy) The art style also kept my attention. I have kind of liked anime art style, but it never seemed to take my breathe away. This movie did. The backgrounds were colorful and detailed, every character, no matter how small the role, had different facial features and depth.
To finish this is the best anime ever. The only other anime that has almost held my attention like Princess Mononoke, was Spirited Away. If you like animes and you haven't seen this movie, it is a must.
It's too bad I started out on the best anime ever made first.
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (2003)
Possibly one of the best games I have played in a long time!
This games was that great. It made me like Star Wars again. I have learned to hate Star Wars ever since I saw Episode II: Attack of the Clones. With that movie being nothing short of a soap opera, I had come to hate Star Wars. This game changed everything. I completely loved this game. It had the feel of the old Star Wars. You go to far away planets and explore around. You actually get to have a light saber in this, so thats one more thing Star Wars fans will love. I actually have to acknowlegde a friend who told me about this game. He told me that if I liked Jade Empire I would love KOTOR, and I did. I never wanted to play a Star Wars game ever since I saw the new Star Wars movies. The Storyline is addicting, it has some of the best voice acting in a game, some really difficult bosses. The only thing that could even be considered a problem is that the graphics are a bit outdated, if you could even call that a problem. Buy this game if you like video games, period! You are missing out on a very good game if you do not play this. Buy it and love it!!
Jade Empire (2005)
Very original and great!
This is probably the best game I own for my XBOX. The only game I like more than this is Halo. I bought this game used last summer for twenty dollars, and it was worth every penny.
The graphics are nothing less than breathtaking. The voice acting is beautifully done and all the voices match what the character should sound like.
The only downside to this game is that it is a bit easy and the martial styles are very simple. The loading screens can be a bit long, especially when fighting in the arena. These are the only real problems with the game.
The story is very well written and original. Of course, a teacher, Master Lee, being more than what he appears is used a lot. The story was so good I have played through this game three times, and I am just starting to get all the additional storyline, i.e. romancing characters like Dawn Star and Silk Fox.
I can keep talking about this game forever, but you need to play this game to find everything out. Buy this game if you like RPG's or action games.
Basically a few things in this game keep it from being perfect. Buy it and love it. 10/10
Zeruda no densetsu: Toki no okarina (1998)
The best game ever!!
I am not lying, this game is amazing.
This game has everything a fantasy lover will like. It has an epic adventure in the legendary land of Hyrule. The graphics were top notch for its day. The graphics are still pretty good, even by todays standards.
The music is great. The story is addicting. It has everything a gamer or a Legend of Zelda fan will ever need.
I don't want to give anything away about this game, even though probably every N64 owner has this game, but it is a terrific game.
The best thing about this game is that it made me a hardcore gamer. I just cannot stop thinking about how great this game is. I have had it for over six years, and it still has the same adventurous feeling I got whenever I first played this game. I honestly played this game about ten times in a row because it was that great.
If you own an N64 you need to buy this game and enjoy it. It is probably one of the best games ever created. 10/10
GameSpot TV: Scariest Games (2006)
A great episode
This is one of the better X-Play episodes I have ever seen.
The acting is very cheesy, but it's X-Play cheesiness, so it is very good.
There is only about four reviews in the whole episode, but this episode is about the storyline. The whole world is infected with zombies, and only Adam and Morgan are only of a few survivors.
They seek refuge in a D&D convention, which leads to Morgan being bitten by a zombie. After that, Morgan slowly turns into a zombie, with many Dawn of the Dead references.
Overall this episode is the funniest thing I have ever seen on a G4 program. Watch this episode if you like comedy, or want to know what zombie games are good. My dad actually liked this show, and he doesn't really watch this show. 10/10
Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005)
Really bad!
I really hate Star Wars. This movie made me hate it even more.
I love the original three Star Wars, but as soon as George Lucas started wanting more money, they started sucking.
This is a terrible movie that has very good special effects.
The video game Knights of the Old Republic is a better piece of Star Wars merchandise than the actual movie.
The acting is terrible. Anakin TURNS EVIL TOO EASILY. Natalie Portman overacts the last hour of the movie.
This is a bad movie that doesn't have the feel of Star Wars. I haven't even watched this movie since it came out in theaters.
3/10
Christmas with the Kranks (2004)
Great Christmas movie
This movie comes no where near as good as A Christmas Story as the best Christmas movie. This one is still very good. I saw this movie with my mother and sister whenever it first came out in theaters, and all three of us were laughing most of the movie. Jamie Lee Curtis is amazing as a typical forty-something mother and really looks the part. She didn't have much makeup on throughout the movie so people could see what see actually looks like. Her performance was great too. The scene whenever she and the other woman shopper are trying to get the holiday ham is priceless. She reminded me of my mother with her mannerisms and her subtle cheerful smile to "nice" lady next to her. Tim Allen was also very good in this movie. I never laughed so hard by his performance in other movie. He was great, even when he had Botox and sunbathing he still held his character performance very well.
This movie is to anyone who likes watching Christmas movies, even in the middle of summer. 10/10.
Return of the Living Dead III (1993)
Really funny!
I am not joking when I said it was funny.
I laughed basically the whole movie. It was terrible.
THe girl was really funny as a zombie, because she had a typical "I'm hungry" attitude. She even eats the brains of a dead store clerk, while her boyfriend is watching her. He doesn't do anything except say "what are you doing." If you want to watch a cheap movie with such bad acting that it is funny, then rent it and then burn it.
This movie should never have been made.
It actually doesn't deserve a 2, it should be a one, but I gave it a 2 because it made me laugh.
Ninja Gaiden (2004)
best ninja game ever!
I love this game! I have never played a more action packed game on the XBOX.
The acting is very good. I can't actually believe these are the same people who made Dead or Alive: Beach Volleyball. The only way I can tell is because of the amazing graphics.
The voice acting very good, from the little bit they talk, and the enemies are very smart. Enemies even know when you block, so they know how to break through your block.
This is definitely one of the best games for XBOX for these reasons.
A very strong 10/10 on my review.
Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne (2003)
I love this game!!
I haven't even played through the first Max Payne, and I already love the second one better.
I bought this game a few days ago in a game store for $1.50. I am not kidding.
I don't see why the game was so cheap, because it is really good.
My roommate actually has this game for his computer, and after seeing him play it so much, I went and bought it.
The whole feel of the game is amazing. I am already addicted to it and I've only had it for three days.
My highest rating ever for an action game. 10/10.
I usually give action games a 7 or 8, but I really love this game.
Ultraviolet (2006)
Not as bad as you think
True I will admit this movie is not perfect, but it does not suck that bad.
The whole storyline was actually built very well, but they did a lot of editing problems.
The storyline was about a women who was infected with a deadly disease. She was told by other diseased people to get a briefcase that was thought to destroy them. In actuality, the case held a child that was a clone of the vice cardinal. After the child was taken, she does whatever is needed to save him.
So far sounds good right, well unfortunately no. The special effects were done very well for a low budget film. The editing was terrible, especially during the fight scene were terrible. Violet would be fighting one person, then in about one minute she would be fighting the same person, even though they were already dead.
If your looking for a nonstop action movie this is it. It stars the beautiful Milla Jovovich, who I am in love with, and deserves more than all these negative comments.
The Grudge 2 (2006)
Definitely worth seeing
I am a very hard person to please, especially when it comes to horror movies. This movie actually freaked me out.
The cheesiness of the first is no where to be seen here. i.e. You don't actually see the ghost appear all time, like in the first one. The last thirty minutes of the movie I was literally sitting on the edge of my seat. The ending didn't really make much sense, but I hope they at least make The Grudge 3.
Some of the scenes didn't make sense until the very last minute.
Definitely worth seeing no matter what other people say.
I give this movie a strong 10/10
