Grave of the Fireflies
Amazingly beautiful and depressing as hell. Seriously, I'm not sure I've seen a more depressing film. And it's a fucking cartoon. It's about two young orphans struggling to survive in post-war Japan, but Oliver Twist this is not. Definitely one-of-a-kind. Watch only if you wish to have your heart broken. I'm still not certain if I love it or hate it... it is certainly lingering with me. 8.5/10

The Fly 2
Alright, I'm gonna catch a lot of flack for this, but I think this sequel was actually better than the first one. This reminded me more of the original The Fly, not the remake. So, like it or not, I'm giving this one a decent score: 8/10 |

The Gravedancers
Not bad, I would definately give it a 7 out of 10, and recommend it to anyone who hasnt seen it, but it fell a bit short of my expectations. Being that it was part of the "8 films you cant see in theaters" festival last year, and the reviews i read made it out to be something that would hgaunt me for months and stain my underwear, i was a little let down that i wasnt terrified by it. It did have the first "BOO" moment to make me jump in years, and the ghosts were spot-on freaky looking., i dont know what it was, there was just something missing from it for me. The Sid character couldnt act his way out of a wet paper bag, and really the wife is th eonly truly sympathetic character in the whole thing, but it has a great traditional horror pattern (freaky opening, slow build up to a fsat paced climax) All in all, if you haVENT SEEN IT, WATCH IT, IT IS FUN IF NOTHING ELSE, AND IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF HOW MORE PEOPLE SHOULD AT LEAST BE TRYING TO DO HORROR MOVIES. (I hit caps lock at the end there, and i am not retyping it. sorry)

Duel to the Death
It started off with Ninjas fighting Shaolin Monks... then Ninjas and Monks were exploding...then Ninjas flew in on Kites...then a hot Chinese chick slashes the shit out of some people...then the best Samurai warrior is going to fight the best Kung Fu Monk...then more ninjas show up and one of them strips, and it turns out she's a girl. So there's a hot, naked, female ninja attacking a Shaolin Monk. Add political intrigue, plucky comic relief, a talking bird, touching moments with children, supernatural powers, Ninja stars flying all over the place, the best beheading I've ever seen and an epic fight between the greatest warriors in the world on a cliff hundreds of feet above the churning sea!!!! This is the best movie ever made. 10+/10
