Anime DVD Review: 20th Century Boys, Part 2: The Last Hope

If you are interested in becoming a maniacal world leader of a deadly cult and want to find the "How To" handbook (like me), I would recommend that you spend a few hours of your time becoming familiar with 20th Century Boys.  I know that I now have several "Book of Prophecies" completed and that in just a matter of time I will put one of them into action and begin my meteoric rise.  So, be ready!

DVD Review: Soul Eater – Part One

 

OK Captain, buckle up and get ready for one of the wildest rides you have been on in some time.  Let's take the vibrant color palette and easy-flowing character images of an early Disney and add to it the crazy dark supernatural world of the Far East, shake it all around and then pour it out like a lively modernist jazz composition and you will have Soul Eater.

DVD Review: Naruto Shippuden Box Set 1

After 220 episodes, Studio Pierrot, Hayato Date, the director and the creator Masashi Kishimoto understood that they had come to a crossroads.  Their beloved and wildly popular show had begun to stagnate.  What to do?  Many bright people would try to milk their golden cow for everything they could and just let it die a tragic death.  This is not the case for our beloved hyperactive hero Naruto. 

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

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.
 

DVD Review: Blood Creek

“In the early 30s’ Adolph Hitler and his inner circle became obsessed with the occult, believing that the black arts were key to their plans for world domination. Nazi agents traveled the globe in search of ancient Nordic relics, known as runestones. They believed that if they harnessed the power of these stones nothing could stop the march of the master race. The symbols inscribed on these stones were said to describe the path to immortality.”

DVD Review: Sands of Destruction, The Complete Series

 

So you've had a rotten life, you're dominated by a race of beast men that would just as soon kill you as look at you. Everything you hold dear seems meaningless because the most important person in your life was killed trying to change the world. What would you do? If it were me and I had access to the power to destroy the world, well, I would use it and do just that. I would destroy the world.

DVD Review: Rin: Daughters of Mnemosyne The Complete Series

To the untrained eye, Rin Asōgi looks like just an average office lady out doing her job, but to those who truly know Rin, they can see that she is actually a private investigator who runs her own PI agency. She'll take on any job, no matter how big or how small, and always succeeds despite all odds. Maybe it is because she has two advantages over her competition: Rin is a capable fighter, and is virtually indestructable. She is an immortal being, unable to die, always fated to come back to life and stay looking the same age for all of eternity. With her bubbly assistant Mimi at her side, Rin will explore the darker side of Tokyo life to bring justice to her clients – until her own secrets from the past come out to haunt her.
