MOVIE REVIEW [He-Said, She Said] . Teeth
HE SAID:
I was hoping to compare this to Sexual Parasite: Killer Pussy, but Discotek never sent me a review copy (probably because I panned A Chinese Torture Chamber Story). Still, I have a feeling that what I saw in Teeth ... continued»

ANIME REVIEW . School Rumble vol. 5
Here's another series I'm coming to the party a bit late in, but despite my complete lack of background the show still provided a surprising amount of fun. If you're familiar with School Rumble you can skip on down to ... continued»
MOVIE REVIEW [Screener] [He Said, She Said] . Never Belongs to Me
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.

MOVIE REVIEW [He-Said, She-Said] . Trick: The Movie

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.

DVD REVIEW . A Chinese Torture Chamber Story
Ah, the classic Category III film. Their slew of absurd violence, near always strung together by a nonsensical plot, haphazard camerawork, and out-there acting, really make these an acquired taste -- and quite possibly one that is easy to grow ... continued»
MOVIE REVIEW . Wristcutters: A Love Story
Chris and I saw the quirky black comedy Wristcutters: A Love Story nearly a month ago, but at least it’s not out in wide release across the country/globe just yet, so this is still pretty early, hehe.
“When there ... continued»
MOVIE REVIEW . Stacy (2001)
If there's one thing Zombie films have long neglected, it's zombie schoolgirls. You would think the loose-socked lot would be a natural host for the zombie apocalypse, given their somewhat valid stereotypes of superficiality, given their youthful self-obsession, blind ... continued»

MOVIE REVIEW . Udon
It's always sad when a film you've waited to watch disappoints. It's even worse when it bombs. Udon has been in our queue for near three months now, and now that we've finally seen it, we have another entry on ... continued»
Third Keroro Movie on the Horizon
So Keroro-Movie.net has been revamped to promote the upcoming third Keroro movie, Keroro vs. Keroro.
I don't know about you, but Kris and I find Keroro absolutely hilarious. While the Manga have been licensed here in the states, I know ... continued»
MOVIE REVIEW . Man in the Chair
To be honest, when I first heard the title, I thought someone had adapted Edogawa Rampo’s The Human Chair. You know, the one about the crazy man who falls for an attractive woman, and then creates and delivers to her ... continued»
