Gekijôban Tensei shitara slime datta ken (2022)
Fantastic movei!
I've been a big fan of the series, and the movie is a perfect bridge between the 2nd and upcoming 3rd season. Rimuru is the best protagonist possible. His story is a common one; An overpowered main character who easily solves problems. What makes this so compelling is not what he does, but the character he displays. Rimuru helps people because he wants to, but he also encourages others to step up and become better people by example. He succeeds because he empowers others, and is trusted and loved by his friends, allies, and subordinates. Without knowing the background of the character and his friends, no one could possibly understand how deeply the relationships built over time and through suffering dictate the flow of the story. Sadly, I can't understand why the only other review posted is by someone who never bothered to watch the series. Ill admit that the larger themes and fun might not be obvious under those circumstances. The fans can do better!
Warm Bodies (2013)
Best movie of 2013
A zombie horror-drama-romance? Really? Sounds cool. Was it? In all honesty, I didn't believe it could become my favorite movie of 2013, but it did. The scenes, the sets, the dialogue, the acting, the plot (it actually had a Romeo and Juliet plot with highly spiritual themes), the truly frightening scenes....Brilliant...Still, no matter how well made, the movie was over the top great not because of all the reasons listed, but because of the score. The music was perfect, blended into every scene, and was truly meaningful. Zombies communicating their feelings to living humans through old records was brilliant, and the rest of the score amazingly relevant at every scene. This was the final piece of the puzzle that planted this movie in my mind enough to watch it over and over. The Hollywood elite will never give it the credit it deserves, but it was better than any of the Golden Globe winners.
