DVD Review: Big Man Japan
A reluctant hero, who is not seen as a hero, and is starving to be a hit on Japanese TV. Are you confused yet? I was very confused for the first 10 minutes of this insane but outstanding movie. This is the most bizarre adult adaptation of a Japanese Monster movie I have ever seen. Taking the entire genre and wrapping it into a documentary is brilliant and hilarious to boot.
Highlights
This film opens as a documentary of Big Sato, or Big Man Japan. He is an everyday human that can transform himself into a giant when monsters decide to drop by and reek a little havoc. The first 10 minutes set the entire story up. It provides a glimpse into the mind of this strange convoluted man. There several great references to things getting bigger when needed and they become more relevant later in the movie.

The secret of Clare comes out in this the final Chapter of the story. Clare is pushed to the point of no return and is in danger of fully awakening. The foes are stronger and more deadly than ever and the past has come back to haunt Clare. This beautifully rendered series closes it's doors to us, but hopefully not forever.

DVD Review: Stargate Atlantis Season 5
The final season of Stargate Atlantis has just arrived on DVD!
The last few years of Stargate Atlantis have been quite a roller coaster ride. Not only did we see Dr Weir (Tori Higgenson) replaced by Samantha Carter (Amanda Tapping) as the head of Atlantis, but we also saw Atlantis relocate to a new planet! Under Col. Carter's watch, the city of Atlantis has thrived and has managed to defeat a large number of enemies. Now, the IOA has decided to replace Carter with someone that they have complete control over: Agent Woolsey (Robert Picardo). The Atlantis team must now adapt to Mr. Woolsey's strick way of operating, while still managing to save humanity from the Wraith and many new threats!
