High Tension (2003)

by D. Jacob Ryals

French Fried Peice of Shit!
This movie actually had me for most of it, until you get to the end. 
SPOILER
Don't care that I spoil this right away, because it came out in '03, so come on!  Secondly, I WANT you to watch it (if you decide to anyway) with this information, so maybe you can answer a question for me.  The blonde chick is the killer the whole time?  Huh?
.........sigh......
if this is true, WHERE THE FUCK DID THE CREEPY TRUCK COME FROM?!!!!!!!!
Don't give me this bullshit answer about how all the holes can be explained as being a psycological construct of her own psychosis, because that is HORSESHIT!!!!!!!   
She was obviously in the truck for real, and her bound friend reacted to her, because if she didn't then WHERE THE FUCK DID THE KNIFE COME FROM?!!
AND STOP MAKING THE MEEK CHARACTER THE KILLER!!!!!!
WE KNOW!!!!!!
THATS "Mind-blowing" EHHHH!!!!
But, on the positive note.
I actually enjoyed this movie, and I do believe the shots are great, and the pacing was thrilling, but once you get to the end, you hate it and it kills any enjoyment you had. 
I hate french people.

Akira (1988)

by D. Jacob Ryals


The beginnings of America's love affair with modern anime.

Before retailers were saturated with this popular import, there was Akira.  It was years ahead of its time, atleast to american animation.  The set design is very Bladerunner and definitely not a cartoon for kids.  The art is good, in style and design.  I would like to speak to the story, which is good, it is a story of best friends and brotherhood, with extraordinary circumstances pulling them apart.  It is a story, however, that has been strip mined by a LOT of other people.  It is definitely worth a watch, for nerd history sake and your own enjoyment.

A benchmark in nerd cinema.
