Hey, that did look surprisingly good. I even thought it was pretty funny, a reaction Hollywood rarely evokes in me these days. I kind of want that to be a video game rather than a movie though. So it's Transformers and the Turtles next year, huh? There's not many of my childhood heroes for them lef...

Ninjas are overrated, samurais deserve more praise. Still I would have probabbly checked out this movie if it did not cost a hundred bucks. Well, there are other editions priced lower. The still to be released Austarlian edition is about $30 (that's 30 Australian dollars), while there are three oth...

A movie about warring ninja clans in the Tokugawa era shares the same source material with a video game series about a guy named "Joe Musashi" hacking up punks in the 1980s? Hmm, perhaps I read something wrong somewhere. I've never played the games, nor do I know much about them. I never knew it wa...

Shinobi - It's beautiful
No, this is not about that old video game, it is about the movie, Shinobi: Heart Under Blade . And no, it is not based on the game, but it is based on the same source material that the game was based on. I bought the premium edition DVD, and also caught it at Subway Cinema's New York Asian Film Fest...

I have a sudden reason to watch Gamera movies other than watching a turtle fly. The titles of the ones she's in are Gamera: Guardian of the Universe, Gamera 2: Attack of Legion, and Gamera 3: Revenge of Iris. The region 1 DVD's are disributed by ADV, and all contain the Japanese language track with...

For the uninitiated, Ayako Fujitani is his daughter from his frist wife Miyako Fujitani. http://www.japanmusic.jp/photo/fujitani.jpg And here's her profile, in Japanese, at ...

So, apparently, he's so desperate to throw his name around that he's now endorsing his own energy drink? By this person's account, it tastes absolutely disgusting. Man, what will they think of next?

Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised by the new King Kong and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The latter I thought was equal to the original, and a funny and well made film, though the backstory about Willy Wonka kind of seemed tacked on. I was pleasantly surprsed that the remake of Kong didn't suck,...

Hey, remember back in July when I announced the DVD release of Godzilla Final Wars in Japan? Well, it's out on DVD in the United States today from Tristar. You can check it out at amazon.com and elseware if you care. It doesn't have a lot in the way of extra features, but at least it includes the or...

Metal Sonic too! If they re-dubbed the OVA with better voices, that would be awesome! Or I could go geek-core and download the Japanese language version with fansubs or something. Actually, there is a DVD available here in the America that has the Japanese language track. However, I can't vouch for...

Ah, so Sonic X is still going on. Interesting. I remember watching the first few episodes in Japanese and thought the show had a lot of promise. Sadly, after the first 13 or so episodes, everything went downhill fast. I mean the first 13 episodes were both action packed and pretty funny, and every c...

Funny. I always thought that Station Square was modelled after Tokyo, just because, you know, that city seems to be a place that giant monsters are naturally attracted to.SonicEXE wrote: it is clear that Station Square is based on Southern California

P.S.: Godzilla, if memory serves, actually feeds off energy; I forget which movie stated this, but I remember it none the less. The first movie that stated this was The Return of Godzilla back in 1984. It was also the first movie to demonstrate this as well, during a scene where he attacks a nuclea...

I think I also heard that they may have changed his name back to Eggman for the American releases so that they could better sync up the English dialogue with the mouth movements. Though when I think about it, this doesn't make sense, due to the differences in structure of the Japanese language versu...
