Manga Review: Beast Master volume 2




High school student Yuiko Kubozuka is someone who is friendly towards humans and animals alike – it just so happens that animals hate her affection and run away at the sight of her! When she meets the newest addition to her class, a scary young man by the name of Leo Aoi, Yuiko becomes deeply interested in him. Leo has a deep connection with all animals and is somewhat feral in nature, but is truly a sweet guy on the inside. But when he is threatened or frightened, Leo reacts just like the wild animals he used to live with, becoming violent with no self-control. Yuiko is determined to tame the wild side of this bad boy – but will Leo grow frightened of Yuiko's great affection or will Leo's blood-thirsty ways keep Yuiko away?

Blu-ray Review: Planet Hulk

Marvel Studios and Lionsgate Home Entertainment bring us the latest in comic to movie adaptions with Planet Hulk.  The story is great and creates plenty of situations for the green guy to beat the crap out of a lot of things.  Fans of the original comic series or of Marvel in general will find a lot to like here with this Blu-ray release.

 

DVD Review: Robin Hood: Season Three

Stories and legends are important to every culture that has ever existed. They teach children basic values such as right from wrong. They inspire people to be better than they are, and do greater thing with their lives. Some stories live on, important to many cultures, especially if the culture is an offshoot of another culture. One specific example has lasted from medieval times until today, and has been played by Sir Douglas Fairbanks, Errol Flynn, Kevin Costner, and even a cartoon fox.  The legend that I am talking about is Robin Hood, and the BBC have just released the final collection, Robin Hood: Season Three on DVD.

DVD Review: The Sarah Silverman Program Season 2 Voume 2

Up next on Comedy Central, The Sarah Silverman Program! The 2nd part of the season 2 is upon us after the end of the writers strike with more jokes, awkward moments, and guest appearances. The Sarah Silverman Program Season 2 Voume 2 is not a typical sitcom release and it makes for a unique viewing experience that fans of the show as well as her off-the-wall style of comedy will certainly appreciate.

DVD Review: Saw VI Directors Cut

“Don’t trust the one who saves you

Strange words to be said in a movie, unless that movie is in the Saw franchise. Saw VI is as cryptic and mystifying as ever, but the series is beginning to make sense as questions are answered from as far back as Saw III.
