 "Honestly, I'm going to admit right now I liked most of the film. I'm currently studying Global warming and climate changes in an enviromental science: Global Science Issues and if it wasn't for this class, I wouldn't be as aware of the problems that are going on in our eco-systems. If it wasn't for this class, I wouldn't of watched this film (it was on a list for credit). I more than believe global warming is real. I honestly think I've seen enough evidence to prove that things are changing...they are changing fast and they are changing for the worse. The facts given in the beginning in the film were all things I had heard countless times in articles and research studies I'd used in class. The events that occur in this film, may be an over extention of the truth (I don't believe that much could happen in such a short time, but I believe it will happen over time)...But honestly, I don't think anything has terrfied me as much as the idea of ...

"There was this film I saw for a high school class that nobody I ask, seems to recall.It was filmed in about the sixties (I'm pretty sure of it), and it must of been set somewhat in the future or on another planet quite simular to earth. Either there was something funky with the location of the planet or it was the weather, but the sun was only came out every Four (or maybe more) years or so for a few hours. There were these kids playing out at recess, and there was this one that was more excited than the rest of them to see the sun because they were the only one that remembered what it had looked like... Long story short, he was (atleast, I think it was a he) locked in a closet inside the school and completely missed the viewing of the sun and disconinutation of rainfall. Yes! it was also very rainy wherever, they were located. can't remember what it was...the style was very RED BALOON-ESQUE. Anyone know? " [More]

 "It was the cover that caught me at first. Browsing Hollywood Video for something new. Something I hadn't seen before and on the new release shelf there it was, two copies of this film next to eight hundred copies of some big huge blockbuster (I can't remember what it was at the time, but i do recall it looked very unappealing). It was the first time I had ever grabbed a movie off the shelf without even reading the synopsis. I just said "this one" and checked out. It sat in my room a few days before I watched it, at night might I add. On my small 13 or so inch television with headphones plugged in. I wasn't aware at the time what I was getting into. And there it was. Fourteen year-old Hayley and 30-some year old Jeff. I'd seen these relationships before. I'd been in one of these relationships before, and I was honestly, digusted. A lot of the times I honestly, don't have a problem with Age differences when it comes to 20-some year olds or older, bu ... " [More]

 "Honestly, It's one of those films that I "hate to love" i guess I can say. It honestly gets me sick everytime i watch it (I guess it's because I relate to Sarah and her son Harry so well), but it's also one of those films that I can't help but watch over and over again. The way it was put together was outstanding, the charcters are so powerful, & Mansell's music is also very powerful. How the film all starts with each character's connection with Harry and then braches off into their own horrible mishaps is just --- i don't know how to explain it. I love how it's different from most "storylines" where everyone comes together. In this case everyone breaks apart.It's frightening, it's sickening, disgusting, and yet so relateable. I give it a 4 out of 5. " [More]

 "I read part of the book once back in middle school and became rather bored. I figured the movie would be just the same but in a group of friends 2 out of 3 majority ruled for the film. So I went to please them. Although I consider myself a rather large Star Wars Fanatic, I never cared for Hayden Christensen and his acting career (especially in Star Wars Episode 3: revenge of the sith. But that's another story for a later time). Overall I was not surprised at how my final reaction was to the movie. It sucked. Hands-down. The only parts I really did enjoy was the idea of Jumping (hey, admit it'd be kind of cool to have the power) and well I guess the locations (But those weren't even half as interesting as I would of hoped). I mean seriously, there could of been way better shots and more locations. What bothers me also was WHY WAS ROME the number one choice and not PARIS. I think france would of been a better choice for -- ooh. DO NOT READ AFTER THIS IF YOU DON ... " [More]

 "Favorite Miyazaki film [I've seen] hands down. Again I'm not entirely big on the Anime sub-genre but honestly I fell in love with this one instantly. The many main characters in this film are all very strong and hold strong to their beliefs & their desires. I think this is one of the films that got me very enviromentally aware at such a young age.Powerful, beautiful, I cant help but watch it again and again.5 out of 5 " [More]

 "I fell out of the Anime fad almost as quickly as I dove into it, and now 95% of the time refuse to see anything "Anime" (it's not the art, honestly, I really like the style and think alot of work is put into it...It's the Fandom-and-animated series that get to me). I was worried at first to of seen Disney getting together with the anime, i thought that the "trend" had become even bigger and soon everything was going to be like Naruto. But after I heard it was directed by Hayao Miyazaki, I honestly calmed down and was quite excited to see how it turned out. I more than enjoyed Princess Mononoke and a couple of his other films, never once before had he disapointed me. And Spirited away wound up being one of the best Disney/Miyazaki films I had seen in quite a long time. It was very Alice in wonderland like but more heart-touching. I became quite attatched to little Chihiro and there were quite a few scenes that i felt i could relate to. I'll admit r ... " [More]

"I feel bad being quite a bit younger than most people in this thread. but the top five movies that scared me as a kid: -The FIRST Scream. God, for years, i hated walking alone or sleeping alone. I figured some guy in a mask was out to stab me. I still can't stay anywhere near open windows/ glass doors. -THIRTEEN GHOST. honestly, after watching it over now, it's not as terrifying as i thought it was. But as a kid (and sometimes still now), i was a big ghost beleiver. There was something about those spirits and those ghost eeeh.. -The Abyss. To this day i can never finish it honestly. I don't know what it is about the film but everytime i try and put it on it gives me the eebie jeebies and i get incredibly sick. Part of me thinks it might be the fact my father's a submariner. -the FIRST FRIDAY THE 13TH this only semi-counts. I was maybe 14 at the time when i saw this and it honestly didnt scare me, atleast not until the end. It's the only film that i KNO ... " [More]

 "I probably would of liked it more if i hadnt read the comic (manga) series first. Honestly, after blasting through the six or so 200+ page graphic novels i was completely excited to watch the film. But it wound up being a huge dissapointment and so much was left out. It's been atleast 5 years since i read or watched either, and i'm interested in reading + watching both again, to write a better revivew. But trust me, i do recall being very displeased and unsatisfied with it's comparison to the original medium. 1 of 5 stars. " [More]
