Dragon Ball Z: Dead Zone – Review
As a reviewer who has posted several DBZ movies I thought it was only fitting to post a review of Dead Zone since it was the beginning of the needlessly long line of DBZ movies actually started off fairly smoothly. How does this 20 year old DBZ movie perform? Click to find out!
Batman: Under the Red Hood – Review

Naruto Shippuden 3: Inheritors of the Will of Fire – Review
The latest Shippuden movie is quite straightforward and drops you in the middle of the Naruto universe, so I wouldn’t recommend just watching this film as a stand alone. This one is about a former leaf ninja who’s trying to make himself invincible! Click to read the full review…

Dragonball Evolution – Review
June 18th, 2010
cello85 I have been putting my review of Dragonball: Evolution off for awhile now as the main story is severely butchered to the point where everything is unrecognizable to the original anime. The story is told very hasty and they don’t bother to explain anything. The anime was great, no doubt, but how does this film do? Click for the full review… Continue reading
Dasepo Naughty Girls – Review
June 17th, 2010
cello85 Dasepo Naughty Girls is a film that has an exterior of a wacky sexy romp. The film is a kaleidoscope of dumb sex jokes, visual humor, and storylines that involve a principal possessed by a mythical monster who espouses the virtue of virginity to the students of the high school. Yeah, it’s dumb. How dumb? Click to read my full review… Continue reading
Horrors of Malformed Men – Review
June 16th, 2010

The Karate Kid – Review
June 13th, 2010
cello85 SPECIAL weekend review as I put the latest 80’s franchsie re-boot under the microscope. The new version does more than simply pay homage to the original. The storyline, and sometimes dialogue, are nearly identical. However, the original film received an Oscar nomination, will this Jackie Chan summer hit be worthy of the same praise?
