Review: While I know my dad loves this movie for a zany 80's space camp time, but personally I prefer The Ice Pirates to this movie but this one is fun also.
44. Puss In Boots (2011)
Rating: 7/10
Review: I was really surprised that I ended up liking this quite a bit, even though there is a little too much dancing, this isn't the crass annoying ride that I was expecting from a movie spun off the Shrek world. Zach Galifianakis practically has the lead role in this.
43. My Week With Marilyn (2011)
Rating: 7/10
Review: Michelle Williams really saves this movie with her performance, otherwise this is an average backstage drama with a great cast. Blink and you'll miss Emma Watson, I'm not saying her part should have been bigger but they should have cast a less known actress in the role because it's really distracting to see her used so sparingly.
42. Genius Party (2007)
Review: Anime short story compilation film. This was a lot of fun but the last segment was directed by the creator of Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo, but its about two school kids realtionship together (aka not an action story) and isn't really what I wanted when hearing that his name was attached to do a short film.
41. Battle Angel (1993)
Rating:5/10
Review: The only reason I watched this was because for years this was the next project James Cameron was developing a live action adaptation film of, but Avatar moved to the front of his attention and the rest is history. Still hard to imagine what Cameron would do with this but would love to see it, can't really recommend this anime but I've heard the manga that it was adapted from told the story better.
40. Fire and Ice (1983)
Trailer:
Rating:6/10
Review: Rotoscoped animation is something not really seen at all anymore because of the advent of motion capture but it does produce a unique image at the very least, but there isn't much to the plot of this fantasy piece so the animation takes center stage and kind of suffers because of it. The frame rate on the rotoscoping animation is probably 10/15 frames a second which doesn't make for the most visually pleasing watch. Fun to be aware of this movie existing but probably nothing I'll revisit anytime soon.
39. Dead Leaves (2004)
Dead Leaves Trailer:
Rating:7/10
Review: Even though this movie has a hyper-kinetic pace, it has a nice amnesia plot that unravels nicely. Animation goes by at a mile a minute.
38. 5 Centimeters Per Second (2007)
Trailer:
Rating: 7/10
Review: While the story of two teenager lovers separated by long distances resulting in lots of train riding through out isn't a typical anime story that I would care about, but the animation techniques used explode the images off the screen.
37. Elite Squad: The Enemy Within (2010)
Rating: 8/10
Review: This doesn't really have anything to do with the first movie other than the setting of Rio and the story of corruption in the Rio police forces so it's not necessary that you have seen the first movie. Really tough cop movie that easily out classes any American cop film since The Departed.
36. The Perfect Weapon (1991)
Trailer:
Rating: 5/10
Review: This movie is a camp classic. The foley work on this movie also is insane, the punch repetition by the main character sounds like he's shooting a machine gun. A good time will be had if you need a good dose of 90's action movie camp.
