Dreamlogic Update Feb 2008

It’s time for another Dreamlogic update. I’ve almost finished the anime review pile from Funimation, so you’ll have reviews of School Rumble vol 5 and Negima - Complete Series shortly. In the Japanese film corner, we’ll be covering a number of Kino releases, including Seijun Suzuki’s Taisho Trilogy, three of the recent Masaru Konuma Nikkatsu [...]

Ragnarok the Animation Volume 2 — guest anime review

So the anime reviews seem to be popular, not just with readers, but with guest reviewers as well! The latest guest review comes from longtime friend and literati Jeremy Walker. Read on for his review.
Disclaimer #1:
I have never played, nor have I even watched someone else play, the Ragnarok Online M.M.O.R.P.G. (massively multiplayer online role-playing [...]

Never Belongs to Me — he said, she said — movie review — screener!

HE SAID:
Nympho teacher
cyborg schoolgirl hooker
penis gun
gay gangster
tiger man
crippled hands
tiger eat da penis…twice
Love makes you do crazy things.
Never Belongs to Me is quite possibly the weirdest film I will see this year. Far from the pretentious weird of last year’s Another Hole in the Head pick, Id, Never Belongs to Me is more the fun and [...]

RonPaul.com sells for $25k

Ron Paul, dreamlogic.net fave Republican Presidential hopeful (totally media-snubbed despite his overwhelming “underground” popularity — amazing record-breaking campaign fundraising and high finish in Nevada), has no affiliation whatsoever with RonPaul.com… well, not yet anyway. Recently, RonPaul.com (formerly a Portland consulting firm) sold on eBay for $25,000. The winning bidder’s id, domaininsider, leads me [...]

OMG. 136 Cats in a single apartment

Wow, this has to be seen to be believed. This woman in Russia has 136 cats in her three-bedroom apartment. Kris and I love cats, but man….136? Check it out.

Witchblade Vol. 4 — anime review

First things first, if you haven’t viewed Witchblade Vol. 3 yet, you might want to skip this review. The episodes presented here are impossible to talk about without spoiling the end of that last disc.
Still with me? Okay. Let’s move on.
Picking up exactly where the 12th episode ended, Witchblade Vol. 4 sees child services attempting [...]

Big Bang Love, Juvenile A (aka: 4.6 Billion Years of Love) — he said, she said — movie review

HE SAID
Ah, Takashi Miike. I think I’ve covered him enough in previous reviews to forgo the usual introduction. I mean, his popularity has grown to the point where I’ve even heard little children mentioning his name in excited tones at the local video store (I would imagine he would have it no other way). So [...]

Happy Holidays!!

Hope everyone’s having (or had, depending on what side of the globe you’re on) a very very Merry Christmas, or Hanukkah, or Ramadan, or Kwanzaa, aaaand a Happy Happy New Year! Take good care of yourself and your loved ones and enjoy it while you can.. at least until the ACLU ceases picketing to [...]

Trick: the Movie — he said, she said — movie review

HE SAID:
I’ve been promising this one for near four months now, and Christmas Break seemed as good a time as any to finally get this done.
When it comes to theatrical turns by popular television shows, the result more often than not leaves both fans and newcomers oddly unsatisfied. Oftentimes these assume a too-high familiarity on [...]

2007’s Films We Would Watch Again (and some we would not)

So it’s time for another go round of Dreamlogic.net’s “Best o’ the Year Picks”. For those who aren’t familiar, this is basically our list of favorite films for the year. These are not necessarily films that are of high technical or artistic merit, or those which have received major critical praise. Instead, this is [...]

70 Minutes of Ron Paul - Glen Beck Interview

So, I haven’t really done a Ron Paul post yet, and this lengthy interview seems to be a good place to start. If you don’t know Ron Paul, just watch the video. I’m sure you’ll appreciate his straightforward answers. If you know Ron Paul, watch the video. It’s actually one of the best interviews he’s [...]

12-03-07 Update from Chris

Things are quite busy this week (work, school, projects, etc), so you probably won’t see too many articles posting in the next few days. AnimEigo has sent us the Mikogami Trilogy, which I hope to tackle in the coming weeks. I’ve only watched the first film, Trail of Blood, but I was definitely impressed (Review [...]

VIDEO FINDS . Video Game Endings

Yup. A random selection of video game endings from YouTube. I think these are pretty self-explanatory so I’ll just leave it at that :)
Conquest of Camelot
I remember playing this one through again and again. Such an awesome game.

Silent Hill 2 Dog Ending
So odd, yet so cool.

Fatal Frame 2 Nightmare Ending
Kris is the only one I [...]

Midnight Eagle — movie review

My first hint should have been that the laurel leaves on the poster surrounded no award notice. No best of category, no viewer’s choice, not even special mention. Just “Opening Film at the Tokyo Film Festival.” To give you an idea of the prestige involved here, the Pierce Brosnan Julianne Moore film, Laws of Attraction, [...]
