WALL-E...

Image
Over the weekend I saw WALL-E . After hundreds of lonely years of doing what he was built for, WALL-E (short for Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class) discovers a new purpose in life (besides collecting knick-knacks) when he meets a sleek search robot named EVE. EVE comes to realize that WALL-E has inadvertently stumbled upon the key to the planet's future, and races back to space to report her findings to the humans (who have been eagerly awaiting word that it is safe to return home). Meanwhile, WALL-E chases EVE across the galaxy and sets into motion one of the most exciting and imaginative comedy adventures ever brought to the big screen. Joining WALL-E on his fantastic journey across a universe of never-before-imagined visions of the future, is a hilarious cast of characters including a pet cockroach, and a heroic team of malfunctioning misfit robots. I have been eagerly awaiting the release date for WALL-E for some time now. I recorded the Starz Inside feature: A Pixar

I came across a trailer for Red Garden in April 2007 and it looked pretty good. But, I guess that's what trailers are supposed to do... Volume 1 Live to Kill An odd string of suicides surrounds a private institution on Roosevelt Island. On the night a classmate dies, Kate, Rachel, Rose and Claire wake with no memories of the evenings' events.

Now, the four girls must work together to learn the secrets of their death - and the means to return to their previous life. Volume 2 Breaking the Girls Under orders from the mysterious Lula, four young high school girls struggle with the fact that they are, indeed, dead. Now, living on "borrowed lives," they are forced to fight glowing-eyed, drooling monsters long after school is over. But when the battles become too terri

Black Blood Brothers...

With the demise of Geneon/Pioneer, I decided to polish off my Tenchi DVD collection and picked up the second Tenchi movie ( Daughter of Darkness ) and the Tenchi in Tokyo TV series. I also picked up Black Blood Brothers ... Volume 1 Bad Things It's been a decade since the sacred war between humans and vampires. The rise of the Kowloon Bloodline, a new breed of monsters bearing an infectious bite, set the streets ablaze under the reign of their king. Humanity had never witnessed such pure, animalistic brutality. Today, Jiro travels with his younger brother Kotaro to the Special Zone, a place where vampires live freely in peace alongside humans, the troubles of the past long forgotten. But the brothers find themselves in the midst of a battle between human soldiers, vampiric refugees and the re-emergence of the Kowloon Children. Assisted by Mimiko, a negotiator between their species, Jiro will try to make sense of the chaos which surrounds them before they are caught up in it
