Movie - Pretty Woman

Photobucket

This movie is so Julia Roberts and I can see what everyone was talking about when they said this was her movie. It is amazing that there are still people out there who can take someone at their lowest and show them how to be at their highest. Julia Roberts played a woman who was too ashamed to go home to tell her family that she had failed at her life so she (with the help of a not so good friend) became a hooker. She was good at what she did because she was always very safe and never got attached. She was just a girl looking for someone to love her and that is exactly what she found, her white knight.

This movie earns a complete five stars for being one of those amazing romantic movies that wowed me.

Video Game - Okami

Photobucket

I can honestly say that this is the best game that I have played in a long time. This is a wonderful RPG (and sadly the last of Clover's productions) and a great play. If you ever see this game, PICK IT UP! This game is about a goddess named Amaterasu (the goddess of the sun and leader of all other gods and goddesses and who is also a wolf) who is on Earth to help the people free their world from a horrible evil that has infested it. With the help from a little Poncle named Issun, she travels through the lands for a span of about two years ridding the world of evil and fighting against horrible beings. This game has great gameplay and sidequests and are enjoyable and not too difficult. I one hundred percented the game without any kind of hassel (except a few things I needed to look up). The only downsides to the game I'd have to way were the digging games and blockhead. Blockhead was a very unnecessary piece of the game and only frustrated the people who played the game. If you play the game, you will know exactly what I'm talking about. The cool part of the game is that you use a celestrial brush (her tail) to aid you in certain things. The even cooler part is that you have to draw them yourself as if you are painting for real. This game also puts a lot of humor into itself so that you are not continuously bored and serious, but you actually are laughing and enjoying yourself. I'd say this is a great game overall.

This game earns a full five stars for stealing about eighty hours of my life away.

Movie - Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

Photobucket

This is the sixth movie in case you are not a follower of either the series of movies or books. I must say that I am impressed and disappointed in this movie at the same time. I am impressed at how well the movie was produced and how well the acting was (although it has been really good up to this point anyway). The movie portrayed the book in a way where all could really feel what was going on in the wizarding world and how the horror of Voldemort was taking over. On the other hand, if you are somebody who was a loyal follower of J.K. Rowling's series, you will be thoroughly disappointed in the horrible adaptation of the book to movie scenario. The book is followed to a certain point and then the movie just veers off into a completely different spectrum and just throws random scenes in and even some things from the middle of the seventh book.

All in all, if you have read the books then you will be disappointed by the movie, but if you haven't then I feel you will enjoy this movie a good deal. I give it a four out of five for being a great watch and only four because it didn't say true to the series.

Movie - Night of the Demons

Photobucket

This is pretty much your average old school thriller and is actually very interesting. This is a movie on a Halloween night at a party that is being held in a funeral home. A fun party game turns into a serious problem when demons are unleashed upon all of the partygoers, possessing them into trying to kill the others. The most popular scene that I feel the movie is known for is the scene where the woman puts the lipstick into her nipple. If anyone has seen the movie, that is the scene they remember most out of all of them. It is very sad how the guy at the end of the movie was more of a chicken than the girl who was a wuss the entire movie.

I give this movie a three out of five for mild entertainment and a good laugh.

Movie - Tamara

Photobucket

Oh my lord is all I can say for this movie. I can honestly say that this movie was absolutely gory and strange. A poor misfortunate girl who has no friends or popularity or much of a family life at all is pushed into a prank because a teacher enjoyed her article for a paper. The prank goes too far and she is murdered and buried only to show up the next day at school. I was very confused in some of the parts and the end left me waiting for a sequel which I am pretty sure doesn't exist at this point. I might watch this movie again, but it was pretty much a clash between Carrie and Stir of Echoes. So if you really enjoyed both of those movies then by all means check this movie out or if you are a vivid FearNet watcher, then you will also greatly enjoy this movie.

As for me, this was a mildly amusing film that reminded me of some good films I had seen in the past. I give this movie a three and a half out of five.

Movie - Notting Hill

Photobucket

This movie touched my heart in a way that I never thought possible. I am such a big fan of romance movies and this one was pure gold. Julia Roberts plays the perfect girl just trying to find love in all the wrong places. Hugh Grant is just what she is looking for as they find each other in the weirdest kind of way. Love blossoms and conflict arises. In the end there is complete happiness.

"Don't forget I'm also just a girl standing in front of a boy asking him to love her.."

So classic... so beautiful. I don't even have words for the emotions this movie provoked in me. I will not hesitate to buy this movie if I see it anywhere because I will watch this again and again until my heart bursts from feeling so much love.

This movie undoubtably gains my five star rating with no hesitation.

Movie - Silent Hill

Photobucket

Words cannot express how truly amazed I am at how great this movie was. I have watched it over and over again and each time I am still surprised at how much I enjoy it. If you are a fan of the games, you will instantly become a fan of the movie. While most movies based off of books and video games severely stray from the actual content or fall away from it completely, this movie stayed true to the real Silent Hill games using actual places, creatures, characters, and music from the games. The fact that I could relate the scenes from the movie to some scenes from the game really made me happy. The Resident Evil series was a real let down when it came to the big screen, so as you can imagine I was a little wary in seeing this movie, not getting my hopes up. I can watch this movie again and again and it makes me want to open up my PS2 and get started on the second or third game again. I recommend this movie to any gamer or person who has either heard of or played the Silent Hill series because I assure you that you will NOT be disappointed in this movie my friend.

I give this movie an astounding five out of five for being such an amazing movie.

Movie - Gamera The Brave

Photobucket

This is the first Gamera movie I have ever seen, although it is not the first Gamera movie to come out. This is a rather recent film and from what I have heard had the most work put into it. This movie, although reminding me of the Godzilla movies, is not quite like them. While Godzilla focused mostly on Godzilla and his foes, Gamera focuses mostly on the people around him and how he affects them emotionally. A young boy finds a small turtle which turns out to grow into Gamera's son. He fights for Gamera's son and with the power of all of the children, help save the city. Gamera touches the hearts of the people and it is apparent how he touches the hearts and souls of the children in the movie. This movie was outstanding and I really enjoyed it even though I thought it would be cheesy. It was still a little cheesy and funny at times, but kept me interested and wanting more. I can't wait to see the other Gamera movies so that I can compare and see how these movies have advanced as the years went on.

I give this movie a four out of five for wowing me and keeping me wanting more.
