So, the other night on Netflix I noticed there is a DVD version of John Woo’s Red Cliff that is the entire movie, unlike the chopped-down theatrical version; it’s on two discs and seems to be all 17 hours or whatever. So far it’s not on the instant Watch, but you can get it on DVD at least. This has [...]

Apparently some filmmakers in Bangledesh have thrown copyright to the wind (I’m guessing) and and made a Bangledeshi version of King Kong, Banglar King Kong. You could never confuse it with the original version or the Peter Jackson indulge-o-fest, though. Because of the singing and dancing, and the leather-clad S&M cowboy, and the heroine wearing a pink dress with matching [...]

I’m sincerely hoping the reporters over at io9 got some bad information, but Hollywood really is just dumb enough to do this. Another American Godzilla Movie?! Like they didn’t learn when the first one bombed? It’s supposed t be out in 2012. Hopefully all those nuts who think the Mayans predicted the end of the world are right and we’ll [...]

So a couple weeks ago, I dreamed I was married to Jeff Bridges. Not Tron Jeff Bridges, The Big Lebowski Jeff Bridges. The Men Who Stare at Goats Jeff Bridges, Scruffy Old Jeff Bridges.  Why the Hell would I dream of Jeff Bridges? True, he’s been a part of my life since I was a toddler (having voiced Prince Lir [...]

Weird Asia News has just put up a list of the 20 Weirdest Japanese Films. I am going to comment on the ones I’ve seen (and ut the ones I haven’t seen on my Netflix queue!). The List 1. Godzilla I don’t get this. OK, giant dinosar thing stomps Tokyo is kind of weird, but there have been dozens of [...]

The new Srudio Ghibli film will be announced December 16th. It should be out sometime next year, whatever it is. It’s not a Miyazaki movie, but will be done by a new director (yeah, other people actually work at Studio Ghibli; amazing!). As long as they don’t let his son Goro direct anything ever again, I’m cool with it…wait, he’s [...]

According to Keanu Reeves, the live-action Cowboy Bebop movie is still on. It’s just being completely rewritten, because apparently the first draft of the script was just too awesome. Interview with Spike Reeves says all the main characters are in this film. But what I want to know is, will the Shaft brother be in it, in all his afro’d [...]

Korean kaiju sequel The Host 2 doesn’t come out until 2010, but a purported CGI test shot has already hit the net: Da Pic I admit, I totally laughed when I saw it. I mean, it does look kind of goofy just loping down the street like that.

I like old kung fu films the best because there is no speeded-up action, wire work or CGI crap. Just people kicking ass. While there are many great kung fu actors, Bruce Lee is undoubtedly the most famous. Once when I was watching one of his movies I blinked, and had to go back and rewind because he kicked this [...]

Ever since Netflix dropped onto the Xbox 360, I’ve been streaming video like a smack addict who just stumbled onto a warehouse full of China White. The offerings were a little paltry in the first month or so, but nearly a year later the service has really stepped up its’ game. If you’re looking for a few things to add [...]

Poor Edison Chen. He’s a super-popular actor in Hong Kong who gets to bang tons of hot starlets. And take pictures of himself banging hot starlets. And then have the pics get stolen by a computer repairman who puts them all over the Internet. I think I need more information before I make a judgment on this one. Did the [...]

CollinsDesign, creators of 500 Essential Graphic Novels, have reached the other side of the Pacific. 500 Essential Anime Movies: The Ultimate Guide is the work of Helen McCarthy, British anime expert and co-author of The Anime Encyclopedia (she’s also the author of works ranging from the necessary- The Erotic Anime Movie Guide- to the bizarre- Manga Cross-Stitch). She founded and [...]

Seems Hollywood has moved on from anime to manhwa, or the Korean version of manga.  Paul Bettany is in negotiations to star in a live-action version of Priest, which is about a vampire hunting priest. Huh, who’d have guessed? ANN Article I remember Priest came out in the U.S. around the same time as this other manhwa, Island, and I [...]

Remember howafew months ago I reviewed the first live-action Death Note film, which was shown in U.S. theaters for two nights (and how I bitched about the fangirls?)? Well, it’s happening again (and I’ll probably be seeing it again, and bitchng about the fangirls some more), only this time the movie is the second Death Note film- Death Note: The [...]

Our good friend Jason (aka ‘Centurion’ for old-skool Yellow-Menace / Destroy-All-Monsters visitors) sent us this short-but-sweet review of the new Iron Man movie. Much to the surprise of some of my friends, I didn’t read comic books when I was growing up. I watched cartoons like other kids, but I never really got into the whole comic thing. I knew [...]
