Cowboy Bebop

Cowboy Bebop

8.9
  • Jun 17, 2010
  • Do yourself a favour and watch it!

    If you like shows that blend all kinds of genres almost seamlessly, you will love Cowboy Bebop. It blends almost every genre you could think of into its story. I wouldn't have been surprised if there was a musical episode somewhere along the way (unfortunately there wasn't :P) If you like shows with lovable, fascinating characters, you will love Cowboy Bebop. The secretive badass Spike, the blunt but kind-hearted Jet, beautiful and insecure Faye, the strange and oddly flexible Ed and adorable 'data-dog' Ein all team up to scour the universe for bounties to collect. They all have such subtle development over their mostly episodic adventures that your barely even realise how much you're connecting with them on an emotional level until the final episode.

    If you like shows that have amazing music to enhance basically everything, you will love Cowboy Bebop. Much like the storyline itself, the music branches across all kinds of genres, but manages to fit their respective scenes perfectly. The final scene and the song that goes with it will stick with me for a very long time.

    If you like shows in general, you will love Cowboy Bebop.

    It doesn't even matter if you're an anime fan, or you've never watched anime in your life- Cowboy Bebop should be made required viewing for everyone.

    Watch it! (I also posted this review at www.anime-planet.com)
    Cloverfield

  • Absolutely loved it

    I'm pretty sure nearly everyone knows about Cloverfield's premise by now- a giant monster is destroying the city and it is filmed from the point of view of a hand-held digital camera, similar to the effect of The Blair Witch Project.

    At first it may seem to be just like any other monster movie and nothing we haven't already seen. But if you think that, you are dead wrong.

    The one big thing different about Cloverfield, is that the monster's origins or motives of attacking isn't explained, and is probably not destroyed in the end either, though that is one of the many things left in the open.

    This is a very good thing because it's much more fun to have questions about what's happening, and to come up with your own conclusions.

    Not only that, but there are some great special effects and thrills in the movie which make it more effective.

    I will definitely be giving Cloverfield repeat viewings, I may possibly see things I didn't pick up before. An awesome, awesome film.

    Amélie

  • Amazing

    Not many movies can make me look at the world an entirely different way after watching it. Amelie is one of those.

    The plot revolves around a young French waitress named Amelie (hence the title) who, after an incident involving Princess Diana, a bathroom tile and a perfume bottle cap, decides to enrich the lives of those around her.

    The result is a hilarious and wonderful story as Amelie (brilliantly portrayed by Audrey Tautou, who made me an instant fan of hers) continues to make the lives of her colleagues and friends happier.

    However, she becomes so busy doing this that she forgets about her own happiness. She falls in love with a strange young man called Nino, and plays small games to catch his attention, but always ends up backing out just when she has the chance to finally confront him.

    With beautiful cinematography and an Oscar-worthy screenplay which was cruelly stolen by Gosford Park, Amelie is a must-see... as soon as you can! You will not regret watching this, and you will walk away with a big, cheesy grin on your face for the next week.

    10/10
