Great scott Marty! GM’s making fuel out of trash for less than $1/gallon!

When you saw Doc Brown in Back to the Future II “gassing up” his time-traveling DeLorean with banana peels and garbage, didn’t you think “wow, what a great idea! Why doesn’t someone get on making that a reality?” GM execs must’ve thought that, too.

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 [...]

Adobe.com refreshed!

Well, I lasted a year at Yahoo! (I still hope Jerry can turn it all around somehow) but now I’m pretty darn happy at Adobe. The building is sooo slick; there are automated everythings.. even the bathrooms are completely motion-sensored out down to the liquid soap and paper towel dispensers, not to mention the [...]

Dreamlogic.net’s Ninja List

So, I’m a little late on this, but who cares? December 5th was Day of the Ninja, an effort to spread Ninja appreciation given the Pirates vs. Ninja net phenomenon. Now, I find the Pirates vs. Ninja thing to be a bit lame ( I mean, c’mon. Stealthy assassins against legions of unwashed thieves and [...]

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 [...]

Oh wow! Cutie Honey The Live!

No, it’s not a typo. It’s the live action television show of Go Nagai’s Cutie Honey! Now, Cutie Honey The Movie was easily one of my favorite superhero films of the past few years. It was tongue in cheek, but sweet, action packed, and a whole lot of fun. While the show stars Mikie Hara [...]

MOVIE REVIEW . The Ghost (aka: Ryeong)

The state of the contemporary Asian horror film is something like that of 80’s slasher these days. Following some truly brilliant entries (Ringu, A Tale of Two Sisters), the market has become saturated sub-par me-too ghost tales of stringy wet haired grudge holding females attacking unsuspecting members of the living (Ghost Train).
Given this climate, to [...]

MOVIE REVIEW . Tales from Earthsea

Long ago, dragons and humans lived in harmony. Then the desire for material wealth led the humans to inhabit the earth and sea, and the dragons stuck with fire and air. This is the backdrop for the newest feature from Studio Ghibli (Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, Grave of the Fireflies), Tales From [...]

Daiso Japan is right here in Mountain View, Ichiban Kan goes online

Yah, I’m a little late announcing it, but yah it opened a little late because they wanted the Grand Opening to be “just perfect”. What’s with Japanese and detailed perfectionism anyways? Ruins my life! Just kidding. Anyway, Daiso is a store packed with tons of cutesie utilitarian items from Japan and [...]

The DVD contains episodes 1- 4 along with the following extras:
