Two royal children are forced to get along when one year the prince asks the princess if they could wed. On hinting that there is no more to her than beauty she leaves and is stolen by a vengeful Ganon look-a-like, turned into a swan by day and get's shot at by said prince.
I'm not the biggest fan of Disney, as every story is pretty much the same, but they go about it in different ways...
I do like how they go about it though. Especially in this film.
seeing as there’s always one, lets start with the grumpy old one.
Today’s OAP is none other than Ganon (at least that’s what I call him), who can cast spells and shape-shift.
Our next contestant is young beautiful and gets turned into a swan. Yes, it’s Odette!
At first she seems to not get along with another of the competitors and then this is sealed when he cannot say there can be anything more to her than beauty.
Our buffoon of a prince is tricked time and again by the evil lord Ganon.
I have to say, the music is wicked! I love every song!
Story line: Three ninjas have to unite to defeat evil in an age of war.
It's a bit fuzzy. Especially for those that don't go by the Tensho calendar. I had no idea why anything was happening or when, all I knew is that people where dying - 'Gantz' style! The fuzziness is due to the fact that this film is a sliced, diced anime, pasted onto VCR
The music gave away the time the film was made; the 80's. Everything from this film reeks the 80's (Believe me, I've seen 'The Terminator'): The style of drawing, the music, the hair. The hair. Forget That Shit!
If I could relate this film to some video games - wait. I can (and will). 'Mortal Combat', 'Onimusha', 'Ninja Gaiden and 'House of the Dead 2'. Why house of the dead you cry! The voice acting. Could you be any more like a monotonal stone?!
So once again the story Annoyed me and the characterisation really annoyed me. at least make the blue flame guy do a rap; 'cos that's what he sounded like he was going to do!
First of all, thank you to all the followers! Now, onto the film.
In a word: slow.
In 707 words:
A science convention, a physicist and a journalist. What could happen?
Well, the physicist says to a woman something about changing the world and they go back to his... place...
He has devised contraptions which allow things to teleport. He demonstrates his "Telepods" to his new friend, veronica who (as it turns out) is a journalist. She records the meeting and shows it to her editor.
Later, Seth (the physics guy) persuades her to document his findings and shaPOW! They end up in bed together, did not see that one coming...
oh wait! Did I mention that the editor was Veronica's ex boyfriend? Well neither did the film. So what's his name gets jealous and decides "hey you know what? Im'a be a dick and do this story in my paper". so veronica rages at him for a while and they come to an agreement that i can't really remember because it was so long ago. it's not that the film is too long (even though it is a good old 95 minutes) it's that it goes by at snails pace.
So the documentation continues and they try the 'Telepods' with a monkey - sorry a Baboon.
BAD IDEA! The baboon ends up the other side inside out. not very nice just after having mince meat...
so some research happens and smart man Seth finds that he has to reprogram the computer to configure the tissue correctly. Another Baboon is chosen to be tested and it worked! Yay, for all.
Lady-friend Veronica leaves to rage at her ex and Seth, with clear inexperience in the social world (like me) thinks she may be going back to her old lover. With this new-found sadness, Seth decides to test himself out in the 'Telepods'. While he sets up his equipment there is a distinct buzzing and we all know what’s coming next. he gets in the 'Telepod' with a fly. Luckily he comes out of the other end seemingly unchanged. to be honest i was expecting it to be like 'the Simpsons' episode.
So the love carry's on between Seth and Veronica, though Seth is getting pretty pro in bed and now has abnormal fitness.
Assuming the fitness comes from being de-particliesed and put back together again Seth goes a little potty and tries to makes Veronica go through, yet doesn't want to. He gets annoyed and finds some one else, who also doesn't go through. Seth tells Veronica to never return.
A few days later, however, he notices weird hair that hurts when he tries to shave, soon after that, his nails come off.
His deformation continues as he gets more and more traits off his Tele-buddy.
Then (and this is why you should use a condom) Veronica finds out she's preggers with fly-boy's baby. Then some exiting but wholly predictable things happen.
The end, I thought was actually quite good, though it left me a bit in the dark. I thought that the idea of using the third 'Telepod' was cleaver but I don't get why he tried to fuse him, Veronica and the baby into one. Surely that would just mess up all memories.
Splendid indeed was the acting and make-up. It has Geff Golblum in it who i quite like and Geena Davis who looks a bit funny. The make-up made Seth seem like a real fly-man right up until his jaw got snatched off and he kind of just, fell apart and turned full-fly.
The filming was so smooth i didn't notice it, which unless I’m watching the 'Blair witch project' is a very good thing indeed. Oh lord, the quotes. This is the film that brought to you: "be afraid, be very afraid" but seriously i don't see how this film is a horror. My favourite quote has definitely got to be
"I'm onto something huge!"
"What? His cock?!" Nothing is going to beat that (apart from maybe some from 'Pure Pwnage').
So, over all it's way to slow paced, yet I enjoyed it and maybe the next thing I review I will really, really hate. Watch this if you want a laugh or some fake porn with a twist. If you liked this, you might want to see 'earth Vs the Spider'.
I just thought I would write a little about myself.
Well...
I'm 16 and I'm taking my GCSEs in 2 months. Not sure I’ll do too well.
When I'm older I would like to make video games. I am a very big fan of games and PC is my thing, planning to build one in the summer but i don't know if I’ll have enough money.
I’m starting to think i should get out on my bike more, but the weather in London sucks and i find it quite hard to breathe on the heavily polluted roads.
I do have to say it's quite hard being a teenager in London as every one thinks you're either going to destroy all in sight or Blast out bangin' tunes. I do have to contradict this and say that I keep my music at a reasonable level and pay respect to anything that isn’t mine (unless it belongs to someone i really, really hate).
I will only ever get angry in public if the government enrages me by putting up train fares AGAIN or if some one starts insulting me (or if I see my ex).
Back to video games; I’m not the average nerd seeing as I’m slightly under weight. Video games have become a sort of niche now-a-days sporning such shows as Pure Pwnage (pronounced pure ownage), Zero punctuation and Mega64, two of my favourite shows ever!
Though recently Game developers have shoved having fun up their arses and have made games co-op art works. i know it has to be said that some games are art, such as Pac man and spore but modern games aren’t compelling. Sure the story is good but is the game play addictive? Is it a challenge enough without pissing me off? i do miss games that a simple grind as apposed to a complex button mash grind.
Any way...
I love old films! Especially crappy old films!
They make me smile.
Also preferably not blogs for suggested reviews, I’m not a big fan of reading.
if I had to put this film into a genre, I would have to make a new one, called what-the-fuck.
So we start off with a nice simple intro where a neat, high scoring student is getting praise from a whole load of people. Apparently he was top of his classes and hosted a range of different activities in his school.
so as you can guess Ben (the main character) wants to get away from every one and hides in his room away from the blabbering party. A lost woman stumbles into his room and he ends up taking her home. Now, for me this film was agonisingly annoying. he couldn't just leave her house could he? Mrs. Robinson (which is also the name of my English teacher) seduces Ben, though Ben escapes with only "call me"
One night Ben decides "hey you know what? I think I’ll call that woman that's, like, at least 20 years older than me". They book a hotel room and get it on. Oh, by the way, she has a husband and daughter. Messed up stuff. This goes on for quite some time, demonstrated by one of the best montages I’ve ever seen.
Ben is soon under pressure by Mr. Robinson and his own parents to take out Elaine Robinson - The daughter, who Ben has been told is off limits according to mother...
so can you guess what happens?
They have a great date! Which results in a "let's go out tomorrow".
Mother swiftly Foils the plan by threatening to tell Elaine about the affair, BUT Ben tells Elaine before mother can and gets a metaphoricalcurb-stomp(don't click on the link if you're squeamish, or don't like KoRn...).
So any way I kind of lost the plot there.
This is a slightly awkward film that left me saying "YOUR MUM" for quite a lot of it.
It made me feel a bit too anxious though. if hate anxiety.
Acting, I thought was really, really good though the voices did annoy me quite a bit...
The sound was not great as the editing was kind of messy.
Wonderful music accompanies the film throughout although there is only so much rosemary and thyme I can take before I go crazy and shave off my eyelashes.
The camera shots impressed me and I though that the film was well put together, then again I think that 'zombies zombies zombies' is well put together (trust me it's a real film).
Over all it's a bit strange at the beginning (ok, I had to have a break halfway through to rethink my morals) but towards the end it gets better and better! as I said it is a "WHAT THE HELL?!" kind of film but it's all worth it for the hilarious ending which I realized was what the Simpsons were taking the piss out of one episode. I would probably say this is a film to see before you die.
First impression is good, nice clean display, seemingly easy navigation and easy to read text.
I just want to state I am English, and to me it would appear that Hulu.com is only for American TV. So therefore it's marked down slightly as i don't really know of many American series apart from Diagnosis murder and Friends.
The search bar is well organized, meaning you wont get hot girls xxx if you search in Shaun of the dead.
You must have an Account to watch videos, TV or Movie, which I’m not obliged to make as I have the Nazi IP, Virgin. But I must to review it so…
Creating an account: this is the most hilarious account creation ever, you can select birth date from as far as 1870. Aside from the date of birth the account creation is practicly the same as every other website apart from that you need an American zip code which I’m not I’m position of... so no videos for me.
Well looks like I’m limited on this one, so ill stick with it's a very pretty site and i'm sure the videos are high quality.
My name is E_M_Y (obviously not my real name) I'm just gonna review some random stuff such as; films, T.V. programs, mugs, politics, music, games and other stuff like that.
So i thought I'd start off reviewing an old film. i mean old as in 1962.
'The brain that wouldn't die'
In a word: mishap.
In 261 words:
The Film starts off with a chilling, frail voice stating: "Let me die - let me die!"
then we fade into a slightly rigid surgery scene, in which a doctor tries an extremely unorthodox... brain heart massage thing. as you can imagine - the doctor states how amazing he is and flaunts off with his wife-to-be to his country house (yeah i thought he was a bit of a dick too) where there is apparent danger from the closet.
On the way to said house, speeding goes tits up and a limp, frail hand is visible then flops off screen. oh yeah, and she's pregnant I think... maybe she isn't it's hard to tell.
Smart-arse doctor runs to his country house with a small bundle and declares when he arrives: "there was a terrible accident, I've got to save her" in one of the most unconvincing voices ever.
So, after looking at some tubes for a while we are subjected to wifey's head rigged up to some sort of thing...
Any way, in fear of giving the story away I'll just settle with; it's slow moving, simple dialog and some parts don't really make sense or maybe that was just me not paying attention due to mates on msn...
The effects are surprisingly good for a film of the time. I like the idea of a "thing" in the cupboard. best thing about it i would have to say is: the title at the beginning (The Brain That Wouldn't Die) is different to the end title (The Head That Wouldn’t Die)
