Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete is hitting a big screen TV near you on Tuesday, June 2, on Blu-ray Disc and it is a digital eye candy feast! Danny posted up about this being released back in April. He was all excited to watch it on his 40″ Bravia XBR4. Well, I got to watch the FFVII Blu-ray projected from a Sony PS3 onto a 16″x9″ theater screen and it was incredible. The detail, the color, the sound — whoa. More »

Got your interest. Nothing perverted, this is just a new indie movie which is going to be released soon and I think if you guys have a chance to go check it out. I did see this movie at the LA Asian Film Festival last year and was pleasantly surprised at how good the movie was. It was well written and had a very effective cast. I am usually skeptical while watching an indie movie because independent directors usually only care about the lead and the supporting cast is usually ignored. In this case, the supporting cast is what made the movie, especially Gerry Bednob and Jalleel White who steal every scene they are in. More »

As if the title “Rainism” wasn’t bad enough. Rain is re-releasing his album “Rainism” with a new title - Rainism Recollection. What is so different you ask? Simple, it’s just a bunch of different versions of the original songs already on the album. We’ve got “Love Story” in Japanese, Mandarin, and English, the acoustic versions of “12th September” and “My Woman,” and an urban mix of “Fresh Woman.” There’s also a DVD which comes with the 35-minute movie of “Love Story.” 35 minutes? I don’t think I can really sit through that. The music video was hilarious as it was already. I didn’t understand the plot much at all except the fact that Rain played a freeloader in some poor girl’s apartment. How that’s going to stretch into 35 minutes… Well, we’ll just have to see.

From what I gather from the website and with a confirmation at Wikipedia, xxxHolic Shunmuki DVD will be released on February 17 and the Tsubasa Shunraiki DVD on March 17. Here’s the link to the official site. Those proficient in Japanese will be able to read it, unlike me. More »

I was reading our forums and the Engrish shirts kicked a thought into my head I just had to post. It’s unusual that I post something I haven’t research or written a journalistic piece for but oh well. Patterns can be broken so here is my thought. More »
