Boys be... (2000)
Realism in Anime Romances
I am a newcomer to the world of anime so I don't really care about the quality of the drawings so thats on of the reasons this is a ten. The other, this show provides a rare glimpse of reality when it comes to romances in anime. The story simply tells the tale of a group of high school juniors who are all taking the steps towards their first real relationship. You won't find any damsels in destress situations, no generic high school love triangles. Its simply the story of how relationships start as friends, move on to something a little more and finally being bf and gf. A great series for people who like realism and, yes sappiness, in their romantic anime.
The Reaping (2007)
Who edited this crap!!!
OK, I just saw this movie tonight, so everything Im complaining about is very fresh in my mind. Even though I think this movie realistically is the worst movie i've seen in nearly two years, there are some positive points. From a suspense standpoint, there are many scenes which will invoke a cheap scare out of you. What I enjoyed most about these scenes is how they were generally unexpected, which kept me involved in the movie.
The second thing I liked about the movie was how when you reach the plot twist in the movie, it is not completely contrived out of nowhere. Unlike "The Number 23" where the plot twist essentially gets made up on the spot, when you find out the girl is not the Anti-Christ, but is actually the salvation of the town and the town is made up of satanic people, the evidence in the movie actually makes since.
Unfortunately, the rest of the movie is absolute garbage. Although the scare scenes do shock you a slightly, they don't pertain to the movie at all. There are about 7-8 random flashback/ hallucination scenes, none of which actually help to make the movie make more since. Honestly, the African guy in white body paint appears around 6 times, can someone tell me why he was important to the story!?!?!?! When Hilary Swank first discovers AnnaSophia Robb, she comes out of no where and just disappears. The locus scene also makes no sense because I know the locus attack the townspeople and kill them, but how? When you see the movie, they just jump on them...then you see dead bodies, not even a body that is disfigured they are just dead.
Lastly, the final plot twist doesn't make any sense...apparently the sex scene was not a dream and Hilary Swank is now going to be the guardian of an angel and the mother of the Anti-Christ...huh????....I know horror movies want to make room for sequels but i beg of the people how made this movie...please let it be over. This movie sucked, long and hard...so please not another movie I don't wanna even have to put up with even seeing the trailers for a sequel to this P.O.S
