Anime Review: VAMPIRE HUNTER D: BLOODLUST
Like previously, we follow D, who gets the job to hunt down a Nobel Vampire. There isn’t often a sequel that is superior to its predecessor, but those times exist. Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust is such an occasion. First of all, the animation is drop dead gorgeous. It made me miss the old school ways of animation, instead of digital drawings that we have today. Pretty much any scene in this movie could be worth put inside a frame and hang up on the wall. It got even more impressive when I realized that it was released in early 2000. One part of a time frame where a lot of…

VENOM Swings Past $500 Million at Worldwide Box Office
Despite the arrival of Halloween, Sony’s Venom is still raking in money, as the superhero movie has passed a key box office milestone. Venom has passed the $500 million mark worldwide this weekend. It added about $10.8 million domestically and $17.3 million overseas, bringing its worldwide to $508.4 million. Right now, Venom is the 13th highest grossing movie of the year worldwide. It will open in China and Japan soon, which will only boost its overseas numbers even more. So, it is entirely possible for it to crack the top 10. And this is all on a $100 million production budget, so it is set to be a very profitable movie for…

After our first real glimpse of the Flash Museum in the future it’s time to give a more in depth introduction to Darth Malgus… I mean Cicada.

So anyway, in the future Cicada has achieved Jack the Ripper like status because he…

Anime Review : Gantz:O
I was a skeptic about this one, and I wasn’t sure I wanted to review it. Half of the sources I looked up claimed it to be horror, the other half did not. But after watching the movie, I could see the horror genre in it, so I decided to add this on this list. Gantz:O is a CGI animated movie based on a manga called Gantz. In Gantz:O, we follow a group of people who’ve been resurrected and are forced to fight different types of monster. This movie confuses me. It feels the need to be animated. But the animation style is like video game cinematics in most triple-A…

Review: TITANS Season 1 Episode 3
Catch up on our previous reviews here. When a new TV show premieres, it can take several episodes for it to find it’s place while it struggles with what tone and stories it seeks to tell. Some make that jump easily, other shows take a bit longer. A few shows never survive this crucible. Cory Anders (Anna Diop) takes the forefront here, saving Rachel Roth (Teagan Croft) from the nuclear family, flambeing the Nuclear Dad (Jeff Clarke) in the process, and winning Rache’s respect by taking down a smalltime punk and his posse. They both seek answers to their own questions and hope that answering one mystery would solve the…

Anime Review: VAMPIRE HUNTER D
Vampire Hunter D follows the lonely hunter D, who lives in a post-apocalyptic world. A world filled with demons, werewolves, mutants and of course vampires. One day, D is forced to accept a job to slay Lee Magnus, a powerful vampire lord, in order to save a young girl that is one of Magnus latest victims. I need to ask the readers something. Has the creator of the Castlevania games talked about his inspiration? I’m asking this because, when I was watching this, particularly at the end of it, felt like I was watching an unofficial adaptation of the game. Only to find out that the first Castlevania got released…

AVENGERS 4 Will Feature an Appearance from [SPOILER]
Almost everything about Avengers 4 has been kept under wraps. In fact, the Marvel Studios sequel doesn’t even have an official title yet. An official reveal and teaser trailer are expected by year’s end, and we’ve had some promo art leak. But that’s about it. In the meantime, an actor from past Marvel movies has confirmed that they are reprising their role in Avengers 4. They even give a hint on what exactly their role is. The following information may be considered SPOILERS by some people, so if you don’t want to know anything about Avengers 4 at all, this is your warning. . . . . . . . Anyways……

Anime Review: PET SHOP OF HORRORS
Pet Shop of Horrors is a horror manga written by Matsuri Akino. This manga later got a 4 episode anime released in 1999, which is what I’m reviewing today. The story follows the mysterious Count D, who runs a pet shop in Chinatown. This pet shop sells unordinary animals, with customers often getting killed after their purchase. The premise is what you get if a Stephen King Book and The Twilight Zone had a love child. It’s very atmospheric, which it uses to its advantage. The story comes off as a “monster of the day” (or should I say Pet of the day in this case?) with the running theme…
