Blu-ray Review: 12 Monkeys
From the space between the past and the future, buried somewhere flush against both madness and sanity, comes the time traveling story about potentially crazy people. We all want the future to be perfect. Flying cars, moving platforms, and robot servants will make life good. In the past the idealized future job has been to simply sit around all day and maybe push a button or two. Anyone who has worked in an office or cubicle can tell you that can be boring and tedious work, and definitely not the job of the future. Didn’t you get the memo? As much as I dreamed of a future with an Astro of my own, there are those who had a decidedly different outtake on what the future would look like.

DVD Review: Gunslinger Girl, IL Teatrino: The Complete Series
With a name like Gunslinger Girl you might think this will be a high action and adventure series, but you could not be further from the truth. Gunslinger Girl is one of the most thought provoking series I have seen in a long while. It takes on the base moral issues of the use of children as weapons, along with the different manifestation of emotional love. There is plenty of action. Just picture a 10 year old girl beating the crap out of a full grown man 5 times her size. OK, now you got that picture in you head, next imagine an entire episode devoted to exploring the meaning of Scarborough Fair by Simon and Garfunkel.
