Ghost -
I really dont get into these Asian ghost stories anymore. They are too repetitive and too common. While they can manage to be good on occasion most are a dime a dozen. And while i wish i could stop buying them, my girlfriend absolutely adores them and insists we buy them when we find them. With this movie i was pleasantly surprised though. It had good acting, decent story (even though it resembles many others before it ), great visuals and a twist ending worth $14.95
Basically the story is about a college student who lost her memory and slowly but surely her friends are dying one by one all around her by this mysterious ghost and they blame her for the ghost killing them. Once she finally gets around to putting the last piece of the puzzle together BAM!!!! one hell of a twist ending that adds more pieces to the puzzle. Definitely a buy for those who love these type of movies but still i highly recommend it to even those like me who are tired of these movies.
7/10 (i would have gave it a 3/10 had it not had what could be considered a second ending)
So we are walking through walmart the other day and like always the electronic section magnetically drew me to it. I start looking at the crap dvds and all the sudden, what do i see? Tartan Asian Extreme ? at walmart? Now i could have sworn that i didnt smoke any crack before i went to the store and i havent tripped acid since high shcool so i must have been really seeing this. I picked up Azumi and ghost, Holy shit its real! But why? when? When in the holy hell did walmart start carrying asian movies? And why am i disturbed by this as much as surprised?
I guess i was hoping the only asian dvds my local walmart would carry would be the american remakes of Ring and Grudge staring Sarah michelle geller in japan.
Ahh well. Change.
