Uzumaki

It wasn't as good as the manga, but I didn't expect it to be considering it's only an hour and a half long and the manga was 20 issues. Some of the scenes were handled well and were cool to see in live action, but overall I thought it wasn't executed as well as it could have been and wasted a lot of time in the first two acts. As a result, the ending was rushed and nowhere near as impactful as it should have been.

6/10 ... Mediocre, but still a pretty good movie if you like J-horror and especially if you're familiar with the source material.

Looper
Over-hyped. Glad I saw it, but never need to see it again. I liked Dredd more.

Like Dredd, I'm planning to wait and rent Looper. Though I wasn't aware it it had been overhyped.

Return of Daimajin

You know, this one is usually rated the lowest in the trilogy - but dang if I didn't thoroughly enjoy it! It largely follows the pattern of the first film, except that instead of having the bad guy take over and make the situation look hopeless from the get-go this film is confined to the days (two, three days?) during the coup. The situation is still in flux for most of the run-time, with the villain only appearing in complete control of the situation right before the divine retribution starts. It's basically the same story, but approached from a slightly different angle making it feel just different enough.

And I love that each of the three Daimajin films picks a natural element as a theme and really sticks with it, providing a nice little signpost differentiating the three films: 1 has dirt or earth, 2 has water, and 3 has snow.
