Debiruman (2004)
Damn better than the anime!
Thank god the finished the story I had been waiting 10 years to see, and they pulled no punches! This isn't a fairy tale, or a farce, this is hardcore, non relenting story and action combined with a lesson on how imbecilic human nature can be. Some of the fights were confusing, and it did look like TV production, but all that is overlooked simply because it does not matter. This is a very good adaptation, and it wasn't a complete retelling of the story. There were twists and turns, and not the ending you would expect... See this movie, it's worth whatever you spend on it. I would have to say it stands next to Crying Freeman as one of the best Manga to Movie adaptations currently available.
Dead Silence (2007)
Surprising!
This horror movie was going the way of all others in my mind...
Why is he doing this? Why did he do that? Does the detective do any actual investigation? But the end made up for all of it... Very surprising twist ending... Very unexpected...
It reminded me a bit of a mix between "Boogeyman" and "Darkness Falls" in the beginning. So I was expecting another cliché ridden, predictable film... And i'm trying not to give anything away in this review.
The puppets are very creepy, and when i saw the trailer it reminded me of "Magic" although I have to go back and see that movie again because I was 4 when it came out, i'm sure this still surpasses it.
