AVP Alien Vs. Predator
My Review:
This movie is great. Nothing happened that I expected to happen. through the whole movie i was intrested. The
graphics are amazing and make Alien and Predator look so real. The plot is easy to follow even if you have never seen any
of the Alien and Predator movies. I should know this since I have only ever seen one Alien movie. All I came into this movie
knowing is that Preditor was a skilled hunter with lots of technology and weapons and Alien is an animal with acid for blood
and a very strong killing machine.
My Rating: 9 (I wish more people survived but thats part of what
made it so unpredictable)

Ahi My Goddess
Description:
Based on a manga by Kosuke Fujishima,
Oh My Goddess! was made into a popular five-part OAV in 1993-94. Keiichi Morisato acquired the goddess Belldandy as
a girlfriend in a charming, small-scale domestic comedy. The feature (2000) is set three years later: Keiichi has grown more
attractive and less maladroit. Belldandy remains essentially unchanged--until she encounters Celestin, her former "mentor."
Celestin rebelled against the powers of Heaven and was imprisoned. Having escaped, he wants to resume his rebellion and reformulate
the universe according to his designs. The filmmakers attempt to link computer viruses with apocalyptic mythology and the
relationship between Belldandy and Keiichi. Although they made an agreeably mismatched couple in the OAVs, Keiichi and Belldandy
simply don't have enough depth as characters to challenge what amounts to a Lucifer figure or support such a baroque story
line. Rated 13 Up: brief nudity, risqué humor, violence. --Charles Solomon
My Rating:
I found this movie rather
boring however the art is great. I would give this movie a 4. The story was not that interesting but if you like the description
then hey, it would not hurt to watch it.
