Queen's Blade

Sorry for not posting in so long, procrastination is my worst enemy. Anyways on with the blog!

Today's anime review is Queen's Blade. This is an ecchi anime which means there are boob shots a-plenty. Needless to say there is fan service in generous portions. Now that we have the nudity aspect out of the way, let's get to the actual story shall we? The plot is that there is a tournament known as the Queen's Blade where women fight to be known as the strongest and most beautiful. Of course all of the characters I have seen in this anime are beautiful, but that's besides the point. There's some pretty great action in this anime, and it's a kind of fantasy medieval sort of setting. So far I am greatly enjoying this series and will soon be reviewing Queen's Blade: Gyokuza O Tsugu Mono. This anime gets an 8/10 and you can watch it here.

Friday the 13th 11 Movie Reviews

Seeing as how it would take a long time and a lot of effort on my part to review every single movie individually I'm going to lump some of them together.

Firstly there is the original movie. This is a great movie that started a generally good series of horror flicks. Mrs. Voorhees kills camp counselors who had let her disfigured son drown because they were off having sex. Very good movie 9/10.

The next two movies, Friday the 13th Part 2 and Part 3 shall be reviewed together. This is the beginning of Jason coming back to life to kill anyone who dares visit Crystal lake. Part 3 is when Jason gets his famous hockey mask and was also originally in 3D. Both of these get 7/10.

Parts 4-6 had some of my favorite deaths in the series, including someone getting their head slammed into the metal side of a van/RV so hard the face leaves an imprint. More greatness about these three include a young boy killing Jason with his machete, another young boy defying the horror stereotype regarding black people by surviving, a character lasting throughout 3 films and the cheesy yet somehow catchy end song of part 6, "Man Behind the Mask". I hereby grant all 3 movies a 8/10.

Parts 7-9 are where the series starts to take a turn for the worse. The plot is at its weakest. Trying to make it even more far out by adding a girl with telekinesis, transplanting Jason to Manhattan and turning Jason into some weird demon slug thing. Overall these movies suck pretty hard, however part 9 does have my favorite kill of the series in which a girl having sex is ripped almost completely in half by a highway reflective pole. These three get 5/10.

Jason X is the 10th movie in the franchise. This movie is a slight improvement over the last three, but not by much. Jason becomes frozen after killing someone and is reawakened in the future to kill and cause havoc. Some decent kills in this movie including the most difficult one in the franchise. It gets a 6/10.

The reboot of the franchise that came out earlier this year was honestly pretty good. Bringing a whole new sense of terror to the franchise. The kills are sadistic and well done. Honestly I greatly enjoyed this movie 8/10.

That about wraps it up for now. Until next time, adios.

Amusement

The first movie of the month is called Amusement. You should absolutely not watch the second segment if you hate/fear clowns. There is one part where "The Laugh" is dressed as a clown and would give Pennywise a run for his money. The series of short stories is strung together by the psychotic killer known as "The Laugh". He stalks three women who he met when he was a boy. A psychotic as a child, The Laugh first encountered the three as a boy. honestly this is quite a creepy movie, and I loved every minute of it. An extremely well-made movie that actually didn't make a lot of money at the box office. Despite being a bit cliche for horror films I still thought the insane disposition of The Laugh was very entertaining. 8/10

Revolving Madness

So last night I saw the movie Revolver with Jason Statham and Ray Liota. A pretty good movie if you like watching insane acid-trip-like movies. Honestly I did enjoy it even if it did confuse the hell out of me most of the time. I think it's one of those movies where the more you watch it, the more sense it makes. Plus, how often do you find a movie where Jason Statham has semi-long hair and a 70s porn mustache? Not very often I'll tell you that right now. This movie is a total mind fuck and I recommend it to people who would like to see a cross between Barton Fink, Ocean's 11 and The Sopranos. Also let us not forget that Andre 3000, a member of the band Outkast did a pretty good job in this movie as well. I give it a well-earned 8/10.

Jackie Chan is City Hunter

Well, due to a busy weekend I've been unable to reach my goal of finishing Slayers by the weekend but I should be able to finish it tonight. I've also decided to bust out some Game Boy Advance games to play for a bit.

I'm also concerned over the lack of a manga update for Kaichou wa Maid-sama the past few weeks. I want to read more damn it! Ahem, despite not really reading much manga this weekend I intend to pick it up again in the next few days. I do have a lot to read and as time goes on the amount only increases. Damn procrastination.

I should also mention that I watched the movie City Hunter this weekend. It was quite funny and very much like a manga/anime. When I went to add it on my Amazon wishlist I discovered that it was in fact based on an anime, which explains the humor. Did I mention Jackie Chan is in it and does a hilarious street fighter parody? I very much enjoyed it so for a comedy it gets 8/10.
