Porco Rosso
Looking at the front cover of Porco Rosso I automatically thought that the animation will a little old and foggy so I hesitated to buy it. I am ashamed of myself for judging the anime by its cover because …

Ghost in the Shell 2 - Innocence (2004)
Obviously Ghost In The Shell Innocence is no doubt one of the best films of the year but why is it getting so many bad reviews? Because this DVD is an insult to fans and this should have never been released …

Oldboy
I popped Oldboy into my DVD player expecting to see a pretty decent movie but I got something way past that. First do not buy this film expecting to see a martial arts or action packed film because this …

Temptress Moon (1997)
I must admit to being slightly disappointed in Temptress Moon. The film looks good. Gong-li always looks good. And the film does a good job showing the corruption in government and lifestyle that was …

New Fist of the North Star - The Complete
This box set is perfect for any fan of this series. This show is pretty good but lacking a couple of things you can't really put your finger on but you can just tell is missing. Besides that this is a …

Final Fantasy VII - Advent Children (Two-Disc
A friend let me borrow a subtitled Japanese DVD of this movie, with a simple recommendation: "You'll love it." And he was right.    To be honest, I haven't played a Final Fantasy game …

Voices of a Distant Star
First if you read most of the other reviews you notice that all of them including mine agree on some things. First the story and animation are very beautiful but where's the rest of it. I have no problem …

Shaolin Soccer
I was out with some buddies this past Tuesday and, for some reason, the talk turned to what was the worst and the best comic book movie. I maintain that the best is Unbreakable, but the others wanted …

Perfect Blue
While I wouldn't go as far as some, who have compared this to some of the greatest anime (and some of the greatest films of any genre -- this is not Hitchcock by any stretch), I found it to be a strong …

Porco Rosso
This is not just a delightful animated film, it is a spectacular film of any genre that fits on the same shelf with Casablanca, Shane, and other wonderful films about how lonely it is to be a wandering …

Fruits Basket Series Box Set (2004)
I have my daughters to thank for my discovery of "Fruits Basket." Without their interest in the manga and then the anime series, I probably never would have thought to give it a second glance. But I'm …

Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring

I can't say enough about how perfect this movie was made. It was like the director perfected every still with camera angles, "Matrix" effects, and rich colors. I had previously seen Crouching Tiger Hidden …
