Can't Get Enough of it!!.......2004-10-07

I just finished watching Vol.7 today. To tell you the truth, I liked it so, so much, and I can't wait for the next one to be released. I've watched all of the volumes till now and I sure will keep buying the upcoming ones. I don't know, but I think that I like Tsukuchi to be with Tsukasa more than with Rui Hanazawa. I can feel that he loves her so much, though he is a spoiled brat who got used to always get what he wants. I want them to end up together, but we will never know till the end. Rui is a good guy but he is better off with the one he loved and I think that he still cares for her and that's why he refused Tsukuchi, though he implied that he did so because of Tsukasa, his friend since childhood. Anyway, for those who loves this series, this one is a must one and for those who doesn't know about it yet, go for it and try it. Please release the next volumes soon.

The softer side..........2004-09-16

...of Tsukasa Domyoji is displayed in this installment in the excellent series Boys over Flowers (aka Hana Yori Dango). Up until this point, we can guess why he is upset, suppose that he IS actually upset, but with his odd (and over the top behavior) we can never really be sure. However, with the basketball game that can mean the expulsion of Tsukushi and Rui now over (1st episode of the disc), we begin to see the inner workings of Tsukasa. Are his feelings for Tsukushi genuine, or is he merely a spoiled child used to getting what he wants, and what he can't have?

I don't want to give anything away, so I can't really write much about what is going on in this disc. I will say that the characters are starting to develop a little bit more. We see the softer side of Tsukasa, Rui's wit, and some of the background story of the F4. We already knew how kindhearted Tsukushi really was, but how loyal is she as a friend? Sakurako and the terrible trio make their return appearances in the later episodes as well...perhaps soon they will be given another dimension to their characters.

The downside to this series, at least in terms how it is released, is that while I can sit down and watch the entire DVD (and more, if I happen to have a couple of new ones in a row) in one sitting, the storyline progresses fairly slowly, so it becomes agonizing to wait for the next DVD to come out. I, for one, feel it is well worth the agony. Boys over flowers is a very well written anime series. It's a little over the top most times in terms of situations and the behaviors of the characters, but it is a real story at heart; one that seems possible, with real people involved. The animation takes a little bit of getting used to, in my opinion. It's not the standard style, where everyone is gorgeous and misproportioned. The music is beautiful, however, and the opening song is very catchy.

The DVD extras on this disc are not much of anything. As usual, we are given character sketches, but this time of the terrible three (I can't remember all of their names). However, the three are linked together in one bio that is only about 6 sentances long. The other extra is a set of sketches of 2 of the bath items seen in the DVD..not even any background information on how commonplace they are, or anything.

But if you've seen the rest of BOF, you definitely won't want to miss this DVD. And if you are a newcomer to the series, you should certainly give it a chance. Just be aware that you may spend a few "Sleepless Nights" staying awake to watch it, and many days awaiting the release of the next DVD if you are one to buy them as soon as they are released.

**As a side note, I've heard that there is a Hana Yori Dango movie that was produced in Japan. I've not heard yet if there are plans for it to come to the US...but here's hoping!**

Vampire Twist..........2004-04-08

Been a watcher of horror for years and thought that this flick had some interesting twists and turns to the usual vampire plot.Acting was acceptable as were the effects.
Would recommend as a good sit back with the lights out independent. Somewhat suspenseful, blood thirsty, keep the vampires from controlling the world movie !!!

Where is the Horror?????.......2004-03-15

I rented this movie after reading the reviews, what a waste of money. I waited for the interesting, intelligent and atmosheric, supernatural tale, I am still waiting. And to compare this movie to the Anne Rice/Dark Shadows genre is an insult to my intelligence. I wonder if the critic's played or payed for this boring movie.
To buy or rent this would be truely a HORROR.

Boring Vamp drivel.......2004-03-15

To call this movie atomspheric is to not understand the word atomspheric! This one falls into the FF (fast foward) award catagory. Don't believe the good reviews, this movie is a boring snooze-fest. Trust me. Unless you like melodramatic Vampire/soap drivel with bad acting. Steer clear of this, especially the Anne Rice/Dark Shadows fans.

GOOD MOODY VAMPIRE FLICK!...........2003-11-25

...i LIKED this movie, it had a definite homage to the dan curtis DARK SHADOWS type movies....very well done on a limited budget!...very moody music track....also interesting directors commentary and "making of" FEATURETTE!.....the DVD is DEFINETELY worth buying.....hopefully the sci-fi channel or hbo will be smart enough to run this...certainly,one of the MORE INTERESTING VAMPIRE FLICKS i've SEEN LATELY!......

Vampire Fans Will Enjoy This.......2003-11-15

An attempt to do a serious vampire movie on a low budget. With a smart script and good acting by an attractive cast, this should appeal to the Anne Rice/Dark Shadows crowd as well as anyone interested in an intelligent, atmospheric supernatural tale.
