This is now the fourth Asian horror film that I give my official stamp of approval (The other 3 are Battle Royale, Ichi The Killer & The Eye.) This was entertaining from start to finish.

A-
Hmm...I thought it was a lame attempt to copy Hollywood's Jurassic Park histrionics, with a very awkward script which made it look repetitive. It wasnt anything originally Asian either, hence my not-too-impressed feelings for it.

The effects were more than decent, so I gave it a 05/10 rating.

What I've watched lately.


Dangerous Beauty: Good stuff, better than I thought it would be.
Back in the day women were able to do two things, marry well or become a whore (hmm, not much has changed)
Very good scene where the cortisan is about to be burned as a witch.

We had a Harry Potter party....
Sorcerer's Stone
Chamber of Secrets
Prisoner of Azkaban
Goblet of Fire: VERY GOOD-EXCELLENT, 5 STARS
We will be seeing the 5th one at the theater tomorrow.

Numb: OMG, stay away from this one.
Children of Men: very emotional, excellent movie, highly recommend.

American Psycho

Haven't seen this one in a while. It's a real treat to take a long break from this one and then watch it with semi-fresh eyes again. Really fun film and something of a black comedy classic. Sure the ending is a little disconcerting, but it works for me and Christian Bale's performance is (as usual) simply brilliant.

8.5/10

Troll - Good shlocky fun.

Eight Legged Freaks - I always avoided this one because I had heard bad things about it. Lucky for me it ended up being a silly, fun, creature feature.
