Kokurikozaka kara (or Kokuriko-Zaka Kara – someone help with the translation) is the latest from Studio Ghibli. I’m a Ghibli high after their very good Karigurashi No Arrietty / the Borrowers work. In fact, Kieko Niwa is one of the co-authors of this adaption and he worked on The Borrower Arrietty and Tales from Earthsea. […]

The Matrix Lobby scene as a capella
Everyone remembers the lobby scene from The Matrix. It’s when Neo starts to kick butt. The original track played in that infamous raid is Spybreak! by Propellerheads (iTunes link) but in this video they’ve been replaced. The sound effects have been replaced. The track and FX have been replaced by just one guy; Matt “pew […]
Fright Night poster: David Tennant as Peter Vincent
In the original Fright Night movie Peter Vincent is a vampire hunter called out by girlfriend Amy to prove who is – and who is not a vampire. He’s not so keen on being a vampire hunter but finds himself being dragged into the role. What do you think of David Tennant in this role? […]
That scene in Star Wars with Nyan cat in it
Nyan cat was in Star Wars, episode IV, but not many people remember it. It’s strange because it’s an important scene and Nyan cat is easy to spot. It’s the scene in which Obi Wan is trying to explain The Force to Luke. R2-D2 is nearby and seems to be watching in. After Nyan cat’s […]
Norton by Symantec via Captain America
I can’t decide whether this is what we call “branded content” in marketing land. Sure; it’s clearly Norton branded and it’s clearly content but this isn’t Norton’s content. Wht Norton have done is wrap themselves into a behind the scenes look at the Captain America movie. I imagine the thinking is as straight forward as […]
Powerpuff Girls/Women movie poster
This mock poster for a would be Powerpuff Girls movie is tapping into the artist’s best case scenario. Whoever the area. Suggested actresses for the girls are; Olivia Wilde, Jewel Kilcher and Megan Fox. Liam Neeson and Christopher Lee star also star – I assume one of them would be the Professor. Neeson, I guess. […]
First picture of Bilbo Baggins
Those lucky, blogger loving, scamps at Entertainment Week have got their hands on the first official pictures of one Mr Martin Freeman all dressed up as Bilbo Baggins. There is no official permission to share this Hobbit photograph but I can sense that both their editorial team and their legal department really want small, grass […]
Pulp: A comedy movie about comics
Pulp is a British comedy being directed by Adam Hanmy, Shaun Magher, written by Bode Ode O’Toole and produced by Phil Bland, Matt Hubbard and Adam Hamdy. It features Jay Sutherland as Tony, Gavin Molloy as Rick and Simon Burbage as Keith. Okay, so I’m struggling to place all those names but there’s some money […]
Karigurashi no Arrietty / Arrietty review
Arrietty was the anime to feature in the Edinburgh International Film Festival before a general UK release in July. Without question; it’s a film to watch. The film is based on Mary Norton’s The Borrowers. I’ve not read the book. I’ve not seen the children’s TV series made by the BBC or even the 1997 […]
Princess Leia, R2-D2 and C-3PO appear in Raiders of the Lost Ark
Have you heard the urban myth that C-3PO, Princess Leia and R2-D2 appear in Raiders of the Lost Ark? It’s not a myth. They do feature. In fact, there’s a lot connecting the two films beyond the fact that the scene in which Rene Belloq and the Nazis square off against Indiana in the canyon […]
