How to Prepare for the LAST/ATS-W/NYSTCE (Barron's How to Prepare for the Last/Ats-W)
$16.99
I bought this and the Kaplan versions to prepare for the ATS-W, because I already passed the LAST. My friend suggested the Barron's version to me, but maybe she had a different version because this did not help me at all. The questions were based on definitions, while the actual test was mostly common sense. The part which I found the most alarming, is that this book did not provide an example of an essay, and just told you to consult your professor/teacher, and ask him to rate your essay. Maybe the LAST preparation is worth the buy, but not the ATS-W, because I studied, and I doubt I passed the test.

Blood: The Last Vampire [Blu-ray]
$29.97
Most vampire animes have this cool character that has all the powers and just shows off. Saya is not that character and for those who don't know this movie was made before the series. The title kind of explains the movie in a way, Saya is the last true vampire. She hunts down imposter versions it seems without mercy. Don't think of her is being completely emotionless though. The story isn't pushed in your face and you have to listen closely and look at what they are explaining to you to fully understand it. Most people will write this one off saying it's just a violent vampire movie. They just took a very different approach. If you like Blood + which is the series, don't expect this to fall in the same line or you will be disappointed. This movie isn't as action packed as the series and Saya knows full well what she's doing. Also remember she is the last vampire which means Diva and Haji are no where to be found.

I enjoy the dark art work and the story is also has the same feel to it. Saya is alone and the organization she works for has no love for her. They worry more about just putting her in a bad mood. The ones she kills she feels closer too, but knows that something is wrong with the way they live. It doesn't go into how she ended up being the only one left, but it does show pictures of her past and she seemed happy. I think it was made in a way to leave it up to the viewer's imagination.

The Last of the Mohicans (Director's Expanded Edition)
$14.98
The Bottom Line:

This version of Cooper's The Last of the Mohicans looks great (it was directed by Michael Mann after all) but the central romance never really clicks and, despite being a great actor, Day-Lewis can't breathe much life into lead character Hawkeye at all; say what you will about middlebrow epics like Braveheart and Gladiator, but they at least succeed in getting the audience invested in the leads, something this movie is unable to do.

2.5/4
