My Thoughts:
I found this one to be a very good film.... It is a long one clocking in at almost 3 hours... but the length really didn't bother me much as it was able to keep my interest. I does have it's slow parts and and really has a '70s feel to it... but over all well worth the time put in to watch it. Definitely recommended.

My Thoughts:
I got this movie in the Horror Classics: 100 Movie Pack... so I wasn't expecting to much quality wise before I even popped the disc in. While the picture was a little on the soft side... and it is in full frame 1.33:1 (is this OAR?... doubt it.)... the picture wasn't bad at all. Sound was good too. This is the American version/cut of the movie Phenomena. So the first thing I want to know... is this version cut? Is there any difference other then (I would guess) the language? In other words... do I need to seek out Phenomena? Because I enjoyed it quite a bit.. definitely more then I expected to. Reading the overview I wasn't expecting much... but it really drew me into the story. So it has me curios about the differences between this release and the one entitled Phenomena.My Rating:

 | Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-Chan (2005/Japan) IMDb | Wikipedia
|
Plot:
Imagine a future where the secret to immortality has been discovered, causing women to stop aging by the time they turn twelve. Not quite right, is it? That's why the Big Man Upstairs sends Dokuro-chan, an angelic assassin, into the past to "deal" with the sicko who messed with nature. But she decides instead to move in with her target to keep him too occupied to find eternal life. The path of nonviolence leads to a fountain of blood, as she constantly kills him by accident, only to resurrect him with a magical chant moments later.

A fun episode. Though I never got past watching the second episode. I have enjoyed the episodes, but it already showed that its a one-joke series. Dokuro-chan's habit to bloodily kill off the main character, just to revive him again.
