Anime Oasis 2010 Day One
Anime Oasis 2010 is my second small yet well put-together anime convention (the first being Kawaiikon 2009), and though there wasn’t a lot to see, with the dealer's hall being covered in just about 45 minutes, there was plenty to do. The day started off relatively slow, with a ton of cosplay photos taken and meandering around the various event rooms, but picked up as the day went on, starting with voice actor and comic book artist Sonny Strait’s panel, moving on to the cosplay swimsuit competition, and ending with fan-driven discussions.
Universal hope Robin Hood can make merry overseas
To date, the Ridley and Russell reunion tour has coaxed a mere $66.1m (£46m) from audiences across the pond. That’s small change for a tentpole release these days – especially one that reportedly cost $200m – and Robin Hood will do well to creep past $100m before the theatrical cycle comes to a close. But studio heads know that even when a movie disappoints in the domestic market, they can, if the circumstances are right, rely on the international arena to prop it up.

Paley Center’s last LOST Day!
The Paley Center for Media studies the connection between media and society, looking back through history at things like the moon landing, the first color TV, and then something like the end of ABC's hit show LOST. It's been a long six years for fans of this incredible show, and it's all over tonight. The Paley Center decided to take one more last look at it by putting on a presentation for a lucky gathering in New York City (and Los Angeles), and I was allowed to go check it out.
Manga Review: Maoh: Juvenile Remix, Volume One
Ando convinced himself when he was younger that he had the gift of psychic ventriloquism. That is, he'd think something and someone walking by would repeat what was in his head. Of course, when he told his friends in school, it turned out badly, so now as a junior in high school he's perfectly content to just go with the flow, to do and say everything that will allow him to blend in.
But Maoh: Juvenile Remix, Volume One is a shonen manga, and it never works out that way.
