We’ve just had Scotland Loves Anime up here Edinburgh, this blogger’s home town. You don’t often get the chance to watch anime on the big screen. That’s why it’s worth paying attention when the famous Barbican in London does a Premiere Japan event. Sure enough, Legend of the Millennium Dragon, will be one of the […]

A Game of Shadows trailer
I can be clear about this – I’m looking forward to Sherlock Holmes 2. We saw the heroic investigator in drag in the first trailer and I didn’t know what to make of it. I’m still not sure and we see that scene again for this second, much longer trailer. However; we also get to […]

Armored Trooper VOTOMS: Pailsen Files movie review
Armored Trooper VOTOMS is an anime series with a long history; 52 TV episodes that started in 1983, plenty of movies and games. VOTOMS is a mecha fighting series – but unlike Gundam the mecha are not giant space robots, they’re suits about 4 metres tall, they’re about as “man size” as powered fighting suits […]
Karafuru / Colourful review
It’s easy to see why Colourful is an award-winning anime. It’s the sort of feature-length that would appeal to judges. We start in a way station; somewhere between somewhere else, with people – or shapes of people – shuffling around before taking a line, getting a mysterious ticket and moving on. There’s an exception; a […]
Momo e no Tegami – A Letter to Momo review
A Letter to Momo is written and directed by Hiroyuki Okiura. Okiura is known for his work on Ghost in the Shell: Innocence, Paprika and Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade. I was lucky enough to watch A Letter to Momo on the big screen in Edinburgh’s The Filmhouse and it was introduced by Jonathan Clements. Clements […]
The Princess Bride, reunited
Here’s a classic photo in the making. We have the cast of The Princess Bride staring together in a photo for Entertainment Weekly. The film came out in 1987. I really like the tributes to Peter Falk and Andre the Giant. I’m not so keen on the absence Fred Savage. Couldn’t he make it? It […]
How good is The Avengers trailer?
It’s out. It’s out. I’m this excited – and it’s only the trailer. What are your first impressions? I like that we don’t see too much fighting. I suspect Iron Man will get a host of good lines. Loki’s clearly up to mischief. If Joss Whedon has a mega-hit with this… what does that mean […]
