"I love this picture because it showed me at a very young age the scope an animated movie could have. It also inspired me to look deeper into this genre and the different filmmakers working in it. I loved the graphic novels and it was the first time I saw a comic book translated to the big screen. It unspooled at a second run by my house and I saw it a TON of times. I also believe this is why I own a red Japanese motorcycle that goes really really fast. AKIRA HUUUUH?!"

This wasn't my kind of erotica. I prefer the less graphic wording and for come to spelt "come" instead of "cum", trivial I know but a pet peeve of mine.

Strangely I quite liked the plotline, as ludicrous as it was, I just didn't gel with the characters and their actions. They just seemed to run away or get pissed off for no real reason.

As tempted as I am to continue the series, despite my low rating, I won't be continuing it.

Not for me.

Better than Dawson's novel (0 more)
This graphic novel was published during the hype leading up to TLJ. Of course, Phasma's part ended up being anti-climactic and trash.
This picks up right after TFA, and Phasma's quest to hunt down the First Order officer that gave information to the Resistance so they could blow up Starkiller. Obviously, it was Phasma that did it, but she's on a quest to pin it on someone else.
Other than demonstrating Phasma's ruthlessness, there was no real additional information given about her character.

The Hughes brothers make quite an impactful debut with this realistically powerful and violently graphic story.
I found similarities between this and Carlito's Way in that it's a story about changing one's life no matter how bad it was before things get out of hand and time runs out for you.
The gang violence is excessive and the story line shows that growing up in this environment makes it very difficult to escape from.
It's one of the better gang related movies alongside Boyz n The Hood and has a strong message.

Not sure what I expected from this one but the description only scratches the surface. This one is not for kids or the feint of heart as the material is very graphic(violence, nudity, sex). The acting was ok and the cinematography good but the story was just weird. Somewhat predictable(not completely) it played out slowly like a "group" version of "The Wicker Man". If you're into "cult" style stories(in the guise of ancient nordic traditions) you'll enjoy this slow burner. Otherwise, not really worth a watch.

Not bad
Dakota Fanning and Guy Pearce syst in this "western". Both give great performances(as do the other actors/actresses. The cinematography is very well done and the story itself plays out well. Normally I don't like when a story "jumps around" in time but this one did it well. Right up to the end. Pearce plays one hell of a villain. This one isn't really for the kids as it involves some violence/sex against children(not graphic). Otherwise, if you like westerns, this one will entertain. Worth a watch!
