The Count of Monte Cristo is a story entirely about a man consumed by revenge. The movie is certainly more conservative then I would have liked but overall it was decent.

This adaptation of Alexandre Dumas' The Three Musketeers is the best yet featuring excellent choreography (sometimes using less than conventional weaponry), great costume design, and incredible acting. A young man named d'Artagnan leaves home in the hopes of becoming a musketeer. Although when he finally reaches the Musketeer's commander he is informed that he doesn't have enough experience and is then challenged to three duels by Argos, Porthos, and Aramis. Before the first duel begins they are interrupted by the cardinal's guard and together they fight them off and in turn bound together. Soon d'Artagnan falls in love with a young dressmaker named Constance who is coincidentally entrusted with a letter from the queen to her secret lover The Duke of Buckingham. From there d'Artagnan and the three musketeers must deliver the letter in hopes of returning the queen's jewels before her husband can notice they are missing. The film stays very devoted to the book but also adds a lot of humor which is just one of the reasons this film sticks out among other adaptations of The Three Musketeers as the best. ________________________________________________-Zathic

Ghost Rider is a mediocre film at best that just didn't have enough relevance to interest me. Johnny Blaze sells his soul to the devil (Mephistopheles) in an attempt to save his father's life. His father is saved from his cancer but then killed in a biking accident (deal with the devil syndrome). Years later his deal is revealed as a curse in which every night in the presence of evil he turns into the Ghost Rider and must obey the devil's commands. He is ordered to send Blackheart (the devil's son) back to hell to stop him from getting a contract worth thousands of souls. The thing that annoyed me most were the villains in this story no not Mephistopheles but rather Blackheart & company which all seemed out of place even in movie such as this. The acting was all right Nicolas Cage did the best and as for Eva Mendes I felt she did her best with the lines given to her but ultimately they made her into a good little woman in the kitchen type. Ghost Rider is a decent enough movie that would have been better without all the supernatural. ________________________________________________-Zathic

Azumi is a bloodbath of a movie that stays true enough to its roots to stand high above others of the genre as a spectacular movie. After The Battle of Sekigahara a samurai (Master Gessai) is charged with the training of an elite group of assassins in the hopes that they may exterminate three troublemaking warlords to prevent a cataclysmic war. Master Gessai then proceeds to recruit ten children amongst them is of course the movie's heroine Azumi. Ten years have passed and the ten assassins' training is nearly finished and as their final test Master Gessai orders them to team up with the one they like the best and kill them. After the horrible task is completed the victors are informed of their mission for the very first time and then set off to complete it. Along the way Azumi starts to question their mission unsure if what they are doing is truly the solution of preventing further bloodshed. Simultaneously the warlord Kiyomasa Kata devises a plan to obliterate the assassins by releasing the imprisoned and seemingly insane Bijomaru. Azumi is an absolute visual treat featuring crazily choreographed battle scenes and an engrossing story that will leave you thirsty for more. ________________________________________________
