Snakes on a Plane (2006)

AWESOME! So Terrifying!

[10/10 · 18 August 2006]

This movie was nonstop!!! The set-up is quick, so we get to the plane in record time, however there is enough character development so you can get to know your fellow passengers (so to speak). They also don't waste much time getting to the snakes, which is where the fun begins!!!! Oh my gosh, so terrifying! Snakes, snakes, biting everyone, everywhere! This is just the height of fun movies! Everything is better than expected, the acting was just campy enough without being too campy. All the people you want to die, do. Some you don't want to die, do. There is tension, comic moments, action, flamethrowing, hatcheting, broken bottle stabbing, microwaving! You name it! And the snakes get their job done well, also. Such a great piece of wild ride cinema! My heart was racing when it was over! WELL WORTH THE PRICE, this is one you've got to see in the theater, as the experience is part of the fun!

Onmyoji 2 (2003)

love Seimei!

[8/10 · 9 February 2005]

I recently rented this and really enjoyed it. I love the character of Seimei and really had a good time watching it. I thought the story was interesting, but I really fell in love with the character of Seimei. The characters are what make this worth watching. I saw this one before the original Onmyoji and enjoyed it so much, rented the original thereafter. I do have to say that I enjoyed the original a bit more, but this one was also really good.

The Pros:

Abe No Seimei! The supernatural elements are pretty cool. The historical feel to the movie.

The Cons:

I didn't really care for the characterization of Susa. His acting was OK, but I didn't connect as much with him. The ending special effects were OK, but not as good as the first movie's. The story moved along until towards the end, then kind of slowed down.
