Recent Movies

Van Helsing: Sucks... unless you're into cheesy action and love scenes. Predictable movie. **

LotR: Return of the King: Okay, this isn't recent, but I just watched it on DVD (I'd already seen it.) I say WATCH ALL OF THE LOTR MOVIES. They're awesome. *****

Ginger Snaps 2: Horror movie about werewolves. First one was awesome despite not having the best special effects. Very enjoyable movie with cool characters. *****

Last Samurai: Great movie about the Samurai. Almost perfect in the cultural aspect, except for the Seppuku scene in which a guy gets his head cut off (not going to go into why it isn't right, but it just isn't.) Other than that. Great movie. *****

Suicide Club: Japanese horror movie. Very wierd, nothing special, but a good watch. ***

Battle Royale: Another Japanese movie. If you'd like to see Lord of the Flies on steroids, this is your movie. Very good, although a little cheesy at points. ****
