Major inspiration for Kill Bill

Advantages: If this movie hasn't been filmed, Kill Bill wouldn't have existed.
Disadvantages: Filmed in 1973; hence not great picture quality

Lady Snowblood DVD 1: Blizzard from the Netherworld As a true Kill Bill fan I couldn’t avoid seeing the movie that inspired QT to create Kill Bill Volume 1 and 2. Shuriyukihime (Shuri-Yuki-Hime - AKA Lady Snowblood) is a female Samurai theme filmed in 1973 in Japan. As many other films, Lady Snowblood was based on a comic book. Someone must admit that Tarantino couldn’t have picked a better inspirational movie than Lady Snowblood. So … decades ...
...decade the ' 70, came Lady Snowblood who is a pioneer woman in slaughter, revenge and lyricism. With two films only, she was established as the absolute female samurai. Never before did a female hero avenger like that exist; who would move and impress so much fans of samurai/ swordplay type/ cult films. Lady Snowblood is the original movie that is eligible finally to an honorary indication. The film of Toshiya Fujita Lady Snowblood had engraved ...

Review of Lady Snowblood 1 - Blizzard From The Netherworld (DVD)

Great film, unnecessary extras...

Advantages: Brilliant film which is considered a cult classic
Disadvantages: The extras in the special edition release aren't really needed

I love this film; it is full of hardcore violence, black humour and genuine emotion. However, you can find more in-depth reviews of the actual film on the other DVD reviews since I am going to focus on why this DVD is special edition. To be honest though you shouldn't get too excited about the new cut of the film since only a few additional scenes have been added, and they aren't really essential viewing. Disc 2 contains lots of behind-the-scenes ...

Review of Battle Royale (Special Edition+Collectors Cards) (DVD)

The Bigger the hit, the faster the rush, the Sweeter the revenge!

Advantages: Great action packed film, Great actors, Good storyline
Disadvantages: You may not be able to get into the story-line!

...WHSmith. ***CRANK 2*** Crank 2: High Voltage was released this year and contains Jason Statham again. Chelio’s tears through the town in search for the Chinese criminal who has possession of his heart. Amy Smart, Dwight Yoakham, and Efren Ramirez revisit their roles from the original film. ***OVERALL OPINION*** I think Jason Statham is a fantastic actor anyway and I have to say that I loved this film. It was full of action and also has some funny ...
...I wouldn’t hesitate to watch Crank 2. My dad did how-ever borrow the DVD and after 30mins he switched it off as he couldn’t quite get into the film. If you like Jason as an actor and if you like his other films I think you with thoroughly enjoy this film. I would recommend it to anyone who like’s action packed films. (review als on dooyoo) ...

Review of Crank (DVD)

2012 true or wrong

Advantages: I believe in god so I do not believe the end of 2012.
Disadvantages: 2012 film is entertainment. so make it fun for our minds

...if you buy the hype, 2012 is going to be the year of that will see the end of humanity, much like the earlier 2000s saw the downfall of TRL. The year of shock. Horror. Awe. Awe-some! I am currently much anticipating the apocalypse, especially if it involves John Cusack and will finally foresee that sinful state, California, falling into the Pacific Ocean, where it belongs, obviously. I am anticipating it as much as I did Y2K, with my gallons of water ...
...the claims of December 21, 2012 (in addition to it being my future wedding date), being the end of this current "cycle" we're upon. The Mayans were a very intelligent civilization for their time--they were able to calculate the time of day, and their mathematical accomplishments floored any Europeans' of the time. But there's a lot of controversy as to what December 21, 2012, signifies to them. Of course it's the end of their calendar cycle, but ...

Review of 2012

The fast was fast and the furious were furious

Advantages: Effects, Performance
Disadvantages: Ending

Overall the movie turned out not to be as boring as I thought it would be. When I heard about it I thought "great another movie about fast racing cars". After wathching it, my opinion changed. The actors/actresses performances were very well done. The effects made you hold your breath untill the sence was over and want to know what happens next. Being that I watched it after the fourth one was already out It was perfect Knowing ther was more to come. ...
...see this back round info.The reason it was good instead of excellent was because of the ending, which was really cool but could have been better. Unfortunetley, withut spoiling the movie there is only so much I can tell you. Thankyou for reading and I hope It was Excellent. ...
