Halloween Ends (2022)
Disappointing
Just disappointing! After Halloween kills i was expecting something amazing that would be mind blowing and climactic but this movie was a let down in every way possible. I was looking forward to this movie the whole year and they went with a horrible plot. Halloween 3 was better than this and it had nothing to do with Michael Myers. Jamie lee Curtis was on point as usual but the rest of the movie was like watching a compilation of hateful people trying to make everyone else miserable. They glossed over the kill of one of the people that was horrible which seeing her die would have been awesome. But they showed ridiculous family drama and hateful townsfolk blaming others for their misfortunes. Absolutely disappointing.

Samurais, guns, and zombies... what more can you ask for?
Versus is a nonstop action film that combines old school sword play with a new age shooting rampage. Directed by Ryuhei Kitamura this explosively unique movie has brought the director a lot of fame because it is very different from any other movie in this genre.
The film begins with two men who break out of prison seeking cover in the forest of resurrection unknowingly these men are about to get involved in a struggle between good and evil that has been going on since the beginning of time its self.

Shurayukihime (2001)
Blood splattered past brought out in the open.
The Princess Blade is a no holds bar thrilling action packed movie that spares no expense on special effects. Directed by Shinsuke Sato this thrilling look at a young girls struggle to escape the same fate as her mother will have your eyes glued to the screen.
The Princess Blade follows Yuki Takemikazuchi (Yumiko Shaku) the princess of the Takemikazuchi clan as she discovers the true cause of her mothers death and her fight to escape her blood splattered past a an assassin.
The CGI and cinematography are excellent in this film seeing someone ducking and weaving through bullets never gets old however this was done in a way all its own. The Plot was outstanding, the choreography was very well done, and all of the characters were portrayed very well.
I enjoyed this movie it was very well done and kept my attention all the way through. I especially liked the idea of a female assassin being the head of a clan of assassins. I would recommend this movie to others who like this genre.

Aragami (2003)
Duel project success
Aragami the demon god of battle, is one of the most awe inspiring samurai films ever created. Directed by Ryuhei Kitamura Aragami is an action packed adventure and will keep you on the edge of your seat the whole way through.
During Japans medieval period many wars were waged many men died; however one samurai is about to engage in a duel that could be the end of his existence or the beginning of a new life. When two samurai seeking refuge from a great battle stumble upon an old temple they had no idea what they were getting themselves into, days later one of the Samurai (Takao Osawa) awakes to find that his friend has died and he learns a dark secret about his host the eccentric Miyamoto Musashi (Masaya Kato).
The cinematography for Aragami is unlike anything I have ever seen, the combination of dark lighting and splashes of vibrant color make this film one of the most interesting samurai movies in existence.
I enjoyed this film very much and would recommend it to anyone that enjoys samurai movies another fun fact about this film is that it was filmed in 7 days as part of a challenge to create a feature length film with 1 setting in 7 days called the Duel project.
Doom (2005)
The cult video game classic has now been made into a movie
Doom, a hit computer game from 1993, has now been made into a major motion picture. It was directed by Andrzej Bartkowiak. This movie adaptation of the computer game is a kill-em-all, action-packed, explosive adventure with surprises, death, destruction, murder, and mayhem around every corner. This movie is most definitely worth seeing if you like the action genera. In the year 2046, an urgent message was transmitted from the UAC Olduvai research facility on Mars. It concerned a level-5 breech and it required a complete quarantine of the facility. An eight-man Marine Rapid Response Tactical Squad (RRTS) is dispatched to the facility to assess the situation, recover UAC data, and neutralize the threat with extreme prejudice. For a movie translation of a video game, the plot was done quite well. There were deviations from the video game, but that is to be expected when making a movie like this. It has been made into a mainstream horror film. Doom has a star-studded cast of actors who all delivered outstanding performances. The three main characters of this cast consists of the highly motivated and truly dedicated commanding officer of the RRTS, Sarge (The Rock), the level-headed Reaper (Karl Urban), and the intellectual Dr. Samantha Grimm (Rosamund Park). The cinematography in Doom is excellent. The scenes were shot in the typical horror format with the lighting set up for a frightening and suspenseful environment. The sets were awesome and very close to those in the game. The special effects are brilliant, from the explosions to the blood. The special effects team did not miss a beat. The monsters are definitely like nothing anyone has ever seen before. They were created extremely well. It was great to see some real monsters on-screen and not something that was constructed by computer animation. The makeup crew did an outstanding job as well. The first-person shooter sequence that resembled the one in the video game was amazing for a continuous shot. It flowed perfectly. I do not know anyone that did not laugh during this sequence. It was unexpected and incredibly enjoyable. The military tactics were right on target from the way they handled the weapons to the way they moved as a squad. The actors actually looked like they knew what they were doing and did a terrific job. I enjoyed this movie very much since I was a fan of the Doom series. I like this adaptation event thought the plot was not the same as the game, but the story still prevailed. A problem that I came across that distracted me from the movie was when they kept calling the Marines soldiers. I am a Marine myself and I know for a fact that a Marine would never call another Marine by that name. That term is used in the Army. The actors made it exceptionally believable. From someone who has been there when leave is cancelled to go to combat, the reactions were similar. The actors portrayed Marines quite well. This movie is not for everyone. If one is expecting a perfect translation of the game, they will experience a tremendous let-down. I would still recommend this movie to anyone who has played the game even if the plot is different. The objective remains the same: search and destroy.
