Pokemon The Rise of Darkrai (2007)
"B+"
Wow. This is one of the better pokemon
movies. Darkrai is brilliantly used, and Palkia/
Dialga's battle makes this one worth watching.
I think the film could have focused more on
them. I do think that this will all come to a head
in the movie coming out this summer in
Japan which features Arceus.



Pokemon Giratina and the Sky Warrior (2008)
"B"
The animation and certain plot elements
are good in this. Though the human villain
is really underdeveloped in this film. I still
find it extremely enjoyable. The appearance
of Regigigas at the end was a cool surprise.
Hopefully the Arceus film takes things up
a notch.



Jurassic Park 3 (2001) "B-"
While I like this on the entertainment
scale more than The Lost World,
JP3 is a hollow cgi fest. The introduction
fo the Spinosaurus is pretty cool. The fight
between it and the T-Rex sucks however.
There you go.



Halloween (2007)
"C+"
I've honestly never seen the original
Halloween in one coherent sitting.
I will say that Carpenter is a piss
poor director who should've stopped
after The Thing. Zombie's version is
actually pretty cool. Bothersome things
include hillbilly culture and excessive
language to the point its silly. McDowell's
performance, the score, and how the
violence is handled are the best parts
of this.



Das Leben der Anderen (2006)
"A-"
This destroys the Departed, which I
previously had thought the best film of
06'. However I find this to be just a thoroughly
enjoyable film. Everything about it is exceptionally
done. Thoroughly good. Give it a watch and give
it time to grow on you.
