Shallow and dull but pretty.

Rating: 4/10 (18 September 2006)

Not sure if there are actual spoilers but checked it to be on the safe side.
While this was nowhere near the worst movie I have ever seen (those would be The Blair Witch Project and Hannibal), it is nowhere near the top either. The entire screen play must have been written in about 15 minutes. The plot was silly. The dialog was bad, very bad. And it was slow, so slow that I wanted the scenes to be done so they could move along.
But it was visually pleasing, if confusing. The switches from color to black and white seemed to be totally random and the anime bit was distracting.
It's certainly not what I expected. Though it was oddly compelling.
