Starship Troopers 2: Hero of the Federation (2004)
This is not a movie...
That's what I keep telling myself. However, it seems that the definition of a movie gets wider and wider each time I take a look. I know that many of you will claim that I'm not fully entitled to comment on the movie since I haven't seen the whole thing. I, however, believe that the experience of the movie is all you need to comment on it.
My experience was that I watched for 15 minutes before both me and my friend got fed up with the unbelievably bad effects, lack of plot, lousy acting, and a script which must have been doodled on a post-it note during lunch break. After 5 minutes, I was wondering what was going on with the movie. After 10 minutes I was wondering why I was living in a blind hope that it would get better. At the 15th minute, I asked my friend if he wanted to watch something else. He promptly responded "yes" (with a stroke of relief).
Take my advice; you can do something better with those 15 minutes of your life (any sane person won't last longer than that). Cure cancer, talk to someone famous, kiss someone, start a war...do whatever you want to, as long as you don't waste your precious time with this garbage.
Mindhunters (2004)
Frighteningly stereotypical
I was enjoying myself through about 20% of the film. Then I realized that even though I've never seen this film before, never read about it, or even seen the poster, I've seen it a hundred times. The last 80% were easily predicted by looking back at every slasher film, lousy thriller and wannabe psycho thriller that's been released the last 10 years. The plot and script is so thin that it couldn't take much more than a day or two to reinvent completely, and the movie seems to rely only on gory details for entertainment and "suspense". The only reason I give this film a few points is that ONE scene during the whole movie managed to catch me off guard, and even surprised me a bit. If you're utterly desperate to watch a movie - any movie - and don't have anything else available in the house, this film may be OK to watch. Other than that; don't touch it with a ten-foot pole.
Honô no rabirinsu (2000)
One of the funniest animés I've seen!
This is, without a doubt, one of the craziest and funniest animés I've ever seen! It will especially appeal to those that like Excel Saga, Puni Puni Poemi, and other series with that type of humour. Some others claim that this is a lousy animé from the reason that there are a lot of pantyshots. I've got a message to these guys (but please don't take it personally); it's an ecchi-show! It's supposed to have panty-shots, that's half the point of making an ecchi-show! Now that THAT's out of the way, I can go into details. First of all, the animation is very well executed. Fluid, realistic movements are used when necessary (***SPOILER-ALERT: The manipuri dance performed by Erola***), and when something funny happens, the style and animation transforms into a weird style with quick movements - something that sets the mood perfectly.
The music and voice acting is top-notch, with perfect use of sound, voice (and so forth) to exaggerate the events. In fact, the voice-acting alone made me laugh my guts out sometimes! The story isn't the most intricate plot created, but that's not a goal when making such an animé either! This is pure entertainment, executed in a sexy way, with humour, action and beautiful animé-gals wearing shamefully short skirts...just the way an ecchi-show is supposed to be! If you have the slightest interest in animé - no; If you have the slightest interest in LAUGHING - watch this 2-episode show as soon as possible!
