Uncut, Uncensored, and Loads More Fun
Advantages: original version much deeper, plots make more sense, better voice acting than American dub
Disadvantages: original audio not the best, Region 1 only genuine release
...now re-incarnated with her fellow sailor warriors to battle against evil, and seeking her long ago lost one true love. Her name: Sailor Moon. Of course, belonging to the magical girl genre, she is and her cohorts are no ordinary warriors, but ones that each possesses special gifts. Various objects act as magical talismans to release certain powers, but supernatural powers they are none the less, though in this day and age, technology also plays a ...
...Who is Usagi? This is Sailor Moon Uncut, the original unbutchered edition of Sailor Moon, and definitely NOT the highly edited, rescripted, and dubbed Sailor Moon that saw television airplay in the UK and USA. So the Serena that English speaking fans of THAT edition know goes by her actual Japanese name. Usagi means rabbit or bunny, and actually is by far a more fitting name for she who runs in terror and crouches in tears when the time to do battle ...

Interesting Sequel… Complete With CG Schwarzenegger
Advantages: Entertaining - good story - great special-effects.
Disadvantages: Colour is a bit bland - a few continuity problems caught on tape.
...the addition of a humongous Terminator that could not only transform into an aircraft, but also possessed removable motor-cycle ‘attachments’ with machine guns that could be deployed in order to hunt down humans. More than once I felt like I was watching a ‘Transformers’ movie. While I liked both ‘Transformers’ movies, I didn’t much care for the ‘Terminator’ version of a 3-in-1 robot. Also, when the motorcycle attachments are deployed and come off ...
...(character appears as girlfriend in Terminator 3) is expecting their first child - Cameron the lovable Terminator is missing, but then again, Cameron might still come along in yet another sequel because the Terminators in this movie are not as technologically advanced as Cameron, however, the inconsistency remains in the fact that there was never any mention made in the television series about John being married or having a child. The inconsistencies ...

Cirque du Freak - The Vampires Assistant
Advantages: Nothing to shout at really
Disadvantages: Not as good as the book.
...Based on the Cirque du Freak vampire chronicles by UK Darren Shan.
The film is a fantasy adventure. It tells the story of Darren, an ordinary teenager but things begin to change for him when a vampire named Larten Crepsley gets his teeth into him. Now a vampire Darren joins the Cirque Du Freak, a touring freak show, and unwittingly breaks a 200-year truce between two warring factions of vampires. Suddenly, the now not so ordinary teenager, has to ...
...humanity. Its not a great a great plot, it seems rather disjointed and stumbles from one scene to the next.
I found the film hard going( particulary after reading the book, its somewhere in the middle of an adult and childrens film. Some scenes may be to much for younger children.Its tough going but worth a look. ...

Terminator Salvation- An action flick that worked for me!
Advantages: Christian bale.Nice action.Camerawork.
Disadvantages: Sort of cliche.Story is thin
Terminator Salvation is the continuation of the terminator series which gained much popularity in the 90's. Following the trend of recently succesful sequels, this one comes with a newer look at the man v/s enemy battle;the latest addition being a futuristic concept,new technology and advatnced graphics. The story doesn't need to be elaborated,its a plain man v/s machine battle,set in 2018. I am not a fan of Wham wham thank you ma'm kind of films,i ...
...if the genre has to fall under action.Blame it on the technology or the craze of futuristic concepts,the order of the day seems to be robots and machines fighting it out with humans.I guess that makes the concept very novel,saving mankind and similar attributes. The director also emphasizes on human emotion and some time is spent giving both the principal characters some emotional backdrop which works for the film.Behind all the action bonanza and ...

THE STORY
The U.S.S. Nimitz, a nuclear aircraft carrier, encounters a very strange storm in 1981 and, when the ship clears the storm, the crew eventually realise that they have somehow been catapulted back to 1941. (As you do !!)
More importantly, they end up one day before the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbour, and they are near Pearl Harbour. A fully-armed nuclear aircraft ...
...a lot of damage to the Japanese invasion force, possibly even destroy it. So, the question becomes, "Should they?" Should they tamper with history and re-write it? They are United States military servicemen, in a combat situation, and most the crew says, "Go for it!" But, what of the ramifications? That question becomes highlighted when a 1941 Japanese Zero blows up a 1941 private yacht, near the U.S.S. Nimitz, and the survivors are rescued by the ...
