Due to My Own Damned Fault, there will be a slight delay in movie blogging this week. Hope to have it done tonight, to post by this time tomorrow.

Here I am again, second week in a row! Only 50 more to go! Slightly late this time, but it looks like I ran on a bit. Once again, I'm one movie short for the week, but I expect that'll be taken care of soon.

( Capsules away! )

The project has begun, and I'm already behind! 6 movie review capsules after the cut.

Another year, another attempt at regular blogging by yours truly. This year I'm revisiting a project from five years ago: the Movie-a-Day project. Over the course of 2009 I will watch 365 films which I either have not seen before, or have not seen in at least 15 years (in which case I may as well not have seen them.) The original attempt was ( Read more... )

Last weekend, Ken dropped by to visit the new abode. Naturally, in between bouts of philosophical discourse and samplings of exotic cuisines, we watched us some cartoons. Two of the shows we viewed are new Cartoon Network productions. "The Secret Saturdays" has been on for about two months, and "Batman: The Brave & The Bold" just premiered last ( Read more... )

So, I've been a little distracted lately, what with buying and moving into my lovely 60-year-old condo, right at the start of a serious economic downturn (wheeeeeeeee!). I've got all my stuff moved in, and have just finished washing all of my sheets, blankets, and clothes I haven't worn in months/years. Time to fold and stash most of it, and ( Read more... )

Here's one I missed when I did the DVD release post. That's because it's not for sale on Amazon! It's not on IMDB either, but it did show up in the Netflix new releases for this week, so I present to you ( Read more... )

So pockyman  asks me for some Shaw Bros. DVD recommendations. I immediately drop what I was intending to write about tonight, just to pander to my tiny little audience. That's the kind of guy I am.(Seriously, man, thanks for the encouragement.)

( More evidence of the kind of guy I am after the cut )

Since I fell off the review wagon (again) some months ago, I thought I'd flex those stiff muscles with a quick capsule look at DVDs coming out this month.  Every week around 500 new listings for DVDs pop up on Amazon.com. That's a hell of a lot to sift through. I will, of course, never get around to watching everything that catches my attention. I ( Read more... )

On Monday, I mentioned four manga I was reading from the library, and picked Dragon Ball as the best of the lot. Well, I read Bleach vol. 3 yesterday, and now I'm not so sure. Again, I was reading a story I was already familiar with from the anime adaptation, but it still had an effect on me. Volume 3 features a major story set on the anniversary ( Read more... )
