Funky Forest: The First Contact movie review

by Chris   ⋅   April 6, 2008   ⋅   Comments [2]

Directors: Katsuhito Ishii, Hajime Ishimine (aka: Aniki),and Shunichiro Miki
Starring: Tadanobu Asano, Susumu Terajima, Kazue Fukiishi, Rinko Kikuchi
Genre: Japan, Comedy
I’ve come to dig the works of Katsuhito Ishii over the course of his three previous theatrical releases. Sharkskin and Peach Hip Girl was endlessly hilarious. Party 7 was a bit of a nosedive, but [...]

Whole movie review

by Kris   ⋅   February 22, 2008   ⋅   Comment now

In the age of express liposuck and lunch hour genitalia remodeling, what’s the big deal if someone wanted their leg removed? Is repeatedly shaving down your nose or shooting botulism into your brow any less crazy? Aren’t both cosmetic alterations developing from a societal urge to conform, an out-of-control fear of rejection? [...]

DVD REVIEW . Erotic Diary of an Office Lady

by Chris   ⋅   February 15, 2008   ⋅   Comments [2]

As mentioned in our Dreamlogic update, we’ve received three of Kinos’s recent Nikkatsu titles for review. I figured, why not start with the most provocatively titled one first? So, Erotic Diary of an Office Lady it is.
Again, this being the first film we’ve reviewed belonging to the “Roman Porno/Pinku” genre we’ve actually reviewed, an introduction [...]

Never Belongs to Me movie review he-said-she-said screener!

by Chris and Kris   ⋅   February 1, 2008   ⋅   Comments [2]

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 [...]

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.

New Cloverfield hints?

by Chris and Kris   ⋅   November 8, 2007   ⋅   Comments [3]

I just received a mysterious package from Overture Films in the mail today. Inside was a clear plastic box filled with shredded dollar bills, and sealed with a sticker of a big M, in the dollar’s “In God We Trust” font. The little cube was rather heavy, so I cut the seal and opened it [...]

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

by Kris   ⋅   October 23, 2007   ⋅   Comment now

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 [...]

Sam and Max Season 1 videogame review

by Chris   ⋅   October 10, 2007   ⋅   Comment [1]

As I’ve stated before, I don’t usually write about video or computer games, but I’ve found another that I have to say something about. You see, I was a huge adventure game enthusiast back in the day, and Sam and Max Hit the Road is easily one of my favorite adventure games of all time. [...]

DVD Drop-box . Kama Sutra, American Assassin, Smooth Jazz

by Chris   ⋅   October 8, 2007   ⋅   Comments [3]

So here starts a new column at Dreamlogic.net. Sometimes we get these phantom submissions from distributors looking for us to review their titles. And sometimes these titles seem a bit out of our normal realm of coverage, even with this being Dreamlogic. So, in order to give deserving titles a fair shake without devoting an [...]

Trailer for Richard Kelly (Donnie Darko)’s Southland Tales now up

by Chris   ⋅   September 20, 2007   ⋅   Comment now

I remember trying to get people to see Donnie Darko with me while it was in its theatrical run in the city. “What? A movie about a talking bunny and time travel? With Patrick Swayze and the Bubble Boy? No thanks.” You can lead a horse to water, but can’t force them to drink, right?
Anyways, [...]

World Series of Pop Culture’s Juggernaut Game

by Chris and Kris   ⋅   September 6, 2007   ⋅   Comment [1]

VH1 just sent us a link to their World Series of Pop Culture game, the Juggernaut. Now Kris and I love hard quiz shows (we watch Jeopardy near nightly. None of that Deal or No Deal for Us), and this game seems suitably hard. I’ll skip a lengthy introduction and just let you check out [...]

Sodom the Killer dvd review

by Chris   ⋅   August 2, 2007   ⋅   Comments [2]

The name Sodom the Killer (aka: Sodom no ichi), to me, conveys a film promising debauched violence on an epic scale. However, in the case of this film, it couldn’t be farther from the truth. Instead, Sodom the Killer is full on parody of J-Horror’s grudge and occult films, such as Juon and Tokyo: The [...]

MOVIE REVIEWS [In Brief] . Meatball Machine, Crash (1997), Hustle and Flow

by Chris   ⋅   July 29, 2007   ⋅   Comments [4]

Here are a few more of trailers I came across on the web. Also, scroll down for a Panda Prison Break ( I didn’t know where else to place it).
Lust, Caution . New Ang Li, featuring Tony Leung and (ugh) Joan Chen. Plot involves a love story and assassination plot in occupied Shanghai. Check [...]

Rose & Camelia - I give you slap!!!

by Chris and Kris   ⋅   July 20, 2007   ⋅   Comments [2]

If you made a Jane Austen novel into a fighting game, you’d probably end up with something like Rose & Camelia, a Japanese flash game of 17th century high-society slapping that has to be seen to be believed. It’s quite a bit of fun and features some fairly intuitive controls (click the action button that [...]

ANIMATION REVIEW . Bad Bugs Bunny, a retrospective on censored Warner Bros. animation

by Chris   ⋅   June 11, 2007   ⋅   Comments [2]

Arguably HoleHead’s biggest draw, Dennis Nyback’s Bad Bugs Bunny commanded packed houses and sold out showings. A collection of banned Warner Bros. cartoons, shelved for the most part due to their overtly racist, sexist, and violent material (some since 1967), are rarely, if ever screened publicly. In fact, for fear of litigation, audience members [...]
