So there I was, thinking that having an anime marathon would be a good idea, so I watched these li'l nuggets earlier today...

Looked like it was gonna develop into that timeless, cliched-as-hell dual-personality killer ending, at which point I found myself wondering whether I was watching a good film or not, and then the ending came. In that sense, this film had me 100% fooled. Great stuff, even if the English dubbing was atrocious.

Very slow, and not much of a plot to speak of, but still a really fascinating film all the same, and one that really humanises the affect of WW2 on the side that a lot of war movies I've seen show it happening to don't. Again, top-drawer stuff.

And this one was just absolutely badass, simple as.

this one is so depressing i was pretty much suicidal at the end of it

Loved all of them. Check out Ninja Scroll for THE most badass anime film.

Yes I used to own Vampire Hunter D as part of my anime classics collection I had to get another copy of it.

I agree with Adidiasss, go with Ninja Scroll and you should also check out Fist of the North Star if you haven't yet.

127 hours. and i liked it very much.

^^i thought it was only good, not great

Yeah, depressing's hardly the word eh. I think a happy ending would've been entirely at odds with the kind of feel the film was going for though, so weird as it sounds, I'm glad it ended as it did and not some fairytale bollocks.

Yeah, I've seen Ninja Scroll, but not for at least 5 or 6 years. I do remember liking it though.

Haven't come across Fist Of the North Star though, I'll have to check that out after the Vampire Hunter sequel.

I had to see Cool World because of someone mentioning it in this thread and I haven't seen it in ages. It was so good and just as great as I remembered. It is pretty timeless.

I also saw Starship Troopers 3

I like that they decided to bring back Rico after leaving him out of the second one.
I hope they continue to make more Starship Troopers I love the satirical feel of the news feed that plays throughout the movie. This time they focused on terrorism and religion at took shots at both of them with humor.

Holy hell...didn't even know there was a second one! May have to check those out.

I'm about to go see Red Riding Hood...I have high hopes! Will report back later.

Didn't like it at all. Haven't seen a movie whos plot went this slow in a long time. The movie pretty much consisted of religious psychobable. Pretty bad timing with the what happend in Japan to. In the movie there's a tsunami that kills roughly 100,000 people in the begining sequence. It's also very hard to take psychics seriously to begin with, it's even harder when Matt Damon pretends to be one.
