Okay, who wants to die next?

Advantages: Powerful filming and acting
Disadvantages: Nothing

...tale of the same name, Death Note is an inventive and impressive film which brings a whole new meaning to the carrying out of justice. Asian cinema often impresses me, and this is no exception. When law student Light comes across a notebook entitled Death Note, he soon discovers that anyone whose name is written on the inside will die. He then starts ridding the world of criminals who have escaped the justice system, murdering them under the name ...
...any film. Death Note is taken from a Manga series, and there is an element of Manga retained here, in the form of the Death Note's explanation. It is the notebook of the God of Death, and he accidentally dropped it. Light picked it up, and as anyone who touches it can see the God, Light therefore could as well. The two form an unlikely partnership, which provides a lot of the vocal filler with Light using the book. The special effects for the God ...

Review of Death Note (DVD)

Lacking in so many ways

Advantages: Pretty booklets, lots of extras
Disadvantages: Stupid plot, poor acting and directing

...a spin-off the popular series Death Note, primarily focuses on the last 23 days of L's life and as he tries to solve the case of the bio-terrorist group that is trying to destroy the world by releasing a super powerful virus. My thoughts: Cheesy, corny and cliche. Yes though the movie is titled L Change the WorLd, it was difficult to not make parallels to Death Note since L was fundamentally a key part to the Death Note story. L fighting bio-terrorism ...
...tried to link L to Death through getting character such as Misa and Light to make a minor appearance was Lame, it just confirmed that there was no link, no connection and that made the bio-terrorism storyline even worse, because it was out of place. The movie has no wit, no suspence and lacks that deception that made Death Note so appealing, a psychological battle and the cult of Kira. Here we have the cult of bio-terrorists and a battle between ...

Review of Paranormal Activity

PMS Can Be A Devil

Advantages: Disturbing, chilling atmosphere
Disadvantages: Not all it's cracked up to be; terrible special effects, some laughable bits

...beginning to drastically differ from the sweet young girl she once was. When doctors examine Regan they find that she turns violent and screams profanities at them which she has never done before. Doctors decide that a physiatrist may be the best option for Regan, but when all else fails Regan’s Mother is forced to turn to the church… I wasn’t around when The Exorcist was first released back in 1973 but have heard numerous things about the film ...
...to watch the film but have always been hesitant due to all the harrowing things I’ve heard about it. The film has been named ‘The Scariest Film Of All Time’… fitting? I still don’t know. I have heard about people committing suicide after seeing the film but curiosity got the better of me and surely 36 years after it’s initial release the film wouldn’t be able to achieve the same shock factor would it? That I can’t effectively answer, after seeing ...
