"Cute; yes indeed. Lethal; Most Defiantly!"
There has been an increase in Viruses (a sub demonic creature who feeds on the souls of humans who can see them), and there is one group out there to fight them, Venus. This small group is made of a hardened woman, an old man, a scared pre-teenage girl and what appears to be a 5 year old girl. They all have their own special abilities and are very good at using them, but two of them are more connected than they know and are the key to the fate of the world.

Blu-ray Review: The Cell 2
“The only thing that’s better than torturing a woman’s body, is tormenting a woman’s mind.” The Cell 2 releases on Blu-Ray June 16th.
In the time-honored tradition of sequels created by people who had nothing to do with the original, The Cell 2 explores the mind of the Cusp, a serial killer that gets off on last words. For the sake of fans of The Cell and Tarsem Singh’s beautiful original vision, I have decided to review The Cell 2 as an independent release that has nothing to do with the original.

DVD Review: Nobel Son
There are a lot of excellent movies that fall through the cracks of the theater, either due to bad marketing, general disinterest from the mainstream, or just ignorance of its very existence. Nobel Son may not exactly be an excellent film, nor as brilliant as it probably wanted to be, but it certainly deserved more than the generally negative reviews it received. Screened at the 2007 Tribeca Film Festival first, it was picked up a year later for distribution and made about 540k overall. Not great, but at least it didn't die immediately after being slapped in the face, for the movie has more merit than the critics gave it.
DVD Review: Bubblegum Crash: Total Crash
Ok Sherman, set the way-back machine to 1991. Bubblegum Crisis was a hit and the two creative teams that worked together to bring the famed series to the public have a fight and split. Youmex makes a sequel and Artmic sues and ends the sequel after 3 episodes. Bubblegum Crash takes to 2034 and the scene has changed. The world has become a lest destructive place and begun to re-build. The Knight Sabers have gone in their own directions and are looking to much different lifestyles. But not all is right in Mega-Tokyo.

DVD Review: Saturday Morning Cartoons: 1960s Volume 1 and 1970s Volume 1
Ahh, Saturday mornings. Time to grab some breakfast and plant yourself in front of the TV so that a variety of commercial sponsors can tell you what to want in between snippets of ridiculous animated stories frenetic enough to hold your minuscule attention span! Ok, I haven't always been this cynical, and it is that innocent youngster that lurks somewhere inside us all that these collections are made for. Most of these series are from before my time, but anyone who watched cartoon reruns as a kid will find something recognizable in these collections.
