bay girl Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 Dragon Ball The plot kind of jumped around a bit, and the back-stories to Piccolo and Goku were somewhere between confusing and incomprehensible, but for what I hope was just the first installment of more movies, it wasn't bad. It kept all the fun and charm that I associate with Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z. And underneath all the make-up and voice manipulation, I could still tell that it was James Marsters as Piccolo, so that made me happy. The rest of the cast were great too. Goku was very amusing, and I'm glad that Yamcha was in it. I always felt he was an underrated character in the cartoons. Im very iffy about seeing this. Ive been a dragon ball fan for a very long time, and im scared that this movie may ruin it for me. It's definitely a departure from the series, but I think the essence of it is the same. Roshi isn't a creepy little bald man, for instance, but he's still a dirty perve who wears Hawaiian shirts That was the most reassuring part of it for me, and the fact that Bulma's last name is still Briefs lol. I went in with the attitude that it's its own movie, and nothing could be as good as Dragon Ball Z was to me (Dragon Ball was never my favourite), so I just enjoyed it for what it was: a quirky little film about aliens, super-powers, and the impending apocalypse. Same old same old I'm really hoping that there will be a sequel starring Vegeta Yeah Dragon Ball Z is always going to be my fav too. And i was bummed when i heard that Vegeta wasnt going to be in the movie. I guess i will go see it. I just wont get my hopes up too much. As long as i can get a few laughs like i do from the show, it should be worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over Her Dead Body - Not as good as I thought it would be, but it was ok. Wouldnt watch it again in a hurry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Formerly Known as FKAJ Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Return to the Blue Lagoon. This is one of those sequels that's really little more than a remake, but what shocked me is that it was actually better in a lot of ways than the first one. Some of the dialogue was so bad that I almost switched it off, but I'm glad I didn't because the film went in an original direction that gave it a more satisfying conclusion than the first. The acting was fine on all counts, except maybe Brian Krause, whose accent felt a bit anachronistic at one point, and the repetition of the original formula wasn't as annoying as it was in, say, the Friday the Thirteenth films. Also, Munich. Fantastic, and demonstrates Spielberg's incredible range as a director. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzannelgnz Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Geboren in Absurdistan (Born in Absurdistan)- An Austrian movie, in German and Turkish (with English and German subtitles. It is a very moving story with a great ending, but more or less impossible to obtain in NZ outside of Victoria University. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't beilive I fell into the trap of feeling sorry for her though It's a lot easier to feel sorry for Hanna if you have read the book (and studied it in detail), I am hopefully going to see the movie this weekend.

bay girl Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 (edited) Well, right this moment, im sitting here watching High School Musical 3. Im trying not to gag. It's just so cheesy, and Vanessa Hudgens has one those overly girly singing voices which is just way annoying.

Izzy H Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Gladiator - Russell Crowe An amazing film. I normally wouldn't watch these types of films but it was only 3 quid and it had rather good reviews. I am so glad I brought it and for a great price to.

Formerly Known as FKAJ Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Akira: Best anime I've ever seen, although Tetsuo's mutation was a bit off-putting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
