Horror Movies - White and The Coffin

Omg guys it is 1:17 am and I am not sleeping tonight at all because I just finished the freakist movie ever called "White"(made in 2011) and it scared the crap outta me. Its a Korean horror movie and it is sooo good, scary, but good. (Japanese and Korean horror movies are always soo crazy and like just very....they are just so much more intense than american ones that are just pathetic in comparison...I mean c'mon...a shark in a lake? why not just leave the lake? And what about the one with the piranhas? =.= uh yeah...if you wanna get freaked out? Go modern Korean/Japanese horror. -old ones are kind of not so great but no old horror movies are very scary- ) My problem with horror movies is when it is a ghost movie that doesn't end, like the haunting doesn't get resolved and you still don't know how to resolve it at the end. :/ I need to know how to get rid of the ghost that is haunting me XD so yeah. So "White" is about a singing group called the Pink Dolls who is always over shadowed by a band called Pure. Not to mention the main character, Eun-Joo, a singer in the Pink dolls is always being bullied by her peers. (I find that viscous bullying is a major issue/common theme most characters deal with in Korean and Japanese dramas and movies. Not to mention there are several manga and anime that feature bullying that can often lead to death either because the aggressive ones went too far and killed the character or because the character committed suicide. Its always pretty serious as opposed to American dramas and what not where bullying is usually just talking about people behind their back.) In the beginning of the movie the group the Pink Dolls move into a new studio that had previously burned down and killed a bunch of people and Eun-Joo finds a music video on tape called "White". The Pink Dolls cover the song and they are an instant hit. They argue over who will sing lead and gain most of the spot light, all except Eun-Joo, however soon gruesome 'accidents' begin to happen to the girls who sing the lead. Before each accident the girl tells Eun-Joo they are sorry and mention to her how hot it is in the room... Eun-Joo soon begins to investigate and finds out there is a horrific past to the song and that it is actually cursed and that if she doesn't stop the curse soon...she will be the victim of the next accident. The movie kept me and my friend on our toes and it was absolutely great, so if you have the stomach for horror films, watch this one. I also watched a movie called "The Coffin"(made in 2008), its actually a super natural thriller, not a horror movie but it's pretty good. :) "Inspired by a true Thai ritual of lying in coffins to get rid of bad luck and prolong life, The Coffin is a supernatural thriller about a young man and a young woman who decide to go through the ritual in Thailand." (Synopsis from http://horrornews.net/12857/film-review-the-coffin-2008/) The movie follows a man named Chris and a woman named Sue who go through the ritual. At the beginning its very confusing and its kind of choppy as they constantly switch back and forth between the two ever few seconds. Its weird and the beginning moves really fast but it all comes together in the end and you understand it ALL. Both Chris and Sue undergo the ritual however, Chris suffers from a seizure in the coffin and Sue experiences a terrible nightmare. You soon find out that Chris did the ritual to save his girl friend Mariko who is in a coma and Sue was trying to get rid of her lung cancer. Afterwards though both Chris and Sue begin to experience a haunting and they search for an answer to ending it. Its pretty fascinating but its also kind of sad in a sweet way. It definitely kept me wondering what was going on, you know how paranormal thrillers are all about discovering answers and histories so it did what it is supposed to do, it kept me guessing. However this movie had a good resolution. I now know how to stop a haunting caused by the coffin ritual. :) So if you're like me and you NEED a resolution, 'The Coffin' had a good one. :) So yeah I watched White and The Coffin tonight and they were really good. :) If you're feeling up to a scary movie, these two are good. :D

Rin Daughters of Mnemosyne - Anime Review

Hey guys, so while choose the AMV of the Week I spotted a few videos for Rin: Daughters of Mnemosyne and started listening to some of the music from the sound track and I realized what it reminded me of! Wolf's Rain! So here we go.

If you've seen Wolf's Rain and liked it, go you, you'd LOVE Rin: Daughters of Mnemosyne, and if you didn't like it....well there might be something wrong with you, go to a doctor.
If you haven't seen Wolf's Rain then read below for farther confirmation that this anime rocks!

Rin: D.O.M. is a good anime because it catches you right in the very beginning! Fro the first episode you are hooked and you're wondering what is going on and what is going to happen! The series is only six episodes long so every second of it is absolutely amazing! Its like since its a little crammed on time, there isn't a moment wasted on it being dull or anything. There is no filler, simply because there can't be. It is rather adult due to violence and well...uh...adult parts but as long as your mature/old enough then you're all good.

Rin is a small-time detective and takes on cases at her leisure and she works with Mimi, her computer savvy friend who holds down the fort at the office and handles paper work and what not while Rin goes out and does the leg work. It sounds pretty laid back...until you see the leg work in the first five minuets of the anime... OH and, did I forget to mention....they live forever?
Rin and Mimi are carriers of something called a 'Time Fruit' little fruits from an ancient, magical tree and when these fruits enter women's bodies, the woman becomes immortal, however when the fruits enter a man's body he turns into a super power demon thing called an angel to to the fact that they can fly thanks to wing like growths on their back. Things just got complicated.
The entire series takes you with Rin and Mimi as they do their best to survive against a mysterious, and constant, pursuer, Apos. Not to mention some mysterious hit-woman who is taking every chance she can get to try and kill Rin! And while she succeeds many times, much to her dismay, Rin always comes back.
Through the anime Rin and Mimi take a case or two and do their best to do some good along the way as the anime moves well over fifty years in the future!

If the summary didn't catch your attention this should:
The characters are just to die for!
Every single one has a past and is well rounded. Rin is hard core and takes the missions and the severe physical damage while she's also beautiful and smart, not to mention kind....uh...unless you get on her bad side.
While Mimi is a little nerdy and super sweet, and she avoids physical fights mostly. These are the two main characters you see the most of and as the anime continues on you learn more about both of them and how they met and their pasts. Watch the anime and meet the rest of the characters. :D

And finally, if that didn't catch your attention here's the trailer!





Finally, Rin reminds me of Wolf's Rain in more than one way. Both have deep, involved plots with laid back, calming music. Kind of like something you'd hear in a coffee shop.... Now Wolf's Rain isn't quite as bloody as Rin, but they do both have some blood. However the biggest similarity between them is that after its over....it will leave you scratching your head saying,"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat?" Then you'll have to watch the anime again to make sure you got everything! XD So if you got Inception easily, give Rin: D.O.M. a try and just see if it doesn't make you think a little harder.

So that's about it. The anime is deep, filled with action and blood, and smart amazing women. There's even a little bit of romance ;) All in all I LOVED this anime....even if I did have to watch it again just to understand it. haha
