3 stars for this intriguing but entirely too cute animation.
Karneval is a very strange series. It is basically sci-fi I think, and although on first impressions it comes across as being very fluffy and trivial, once you get into it there is actually a very good (and quite dark) story-line.
It tells the story of Gareki, a young pick-pocket who feels…more

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have our first recipient of the dreaded Turkey award.
Werewolf Rising is written and directed by B.C. Furtney (Do Not Disturb, New Terminal Hotel), who is known for his work in independent films and now also for his bravery in putting his name to this particular production.

RPG (Real Playing Game) is written by Tino Navarro and directed by Tino Navarro and David Rebordao.
What first attracted me to this film was the fact that it stars Rutger Hauer (Blade Runner, Sin City) as our hero. Hence the disappointment that he barely features at all, and even then only…more

5 Stars of Brilliance and a future not perfect.
From the studio that brought us the world of Ghost in the Shell, Production I.G. and directed by Naoyoshi Shiotani, Psycho Pass shows a world that no one I know would want to live in.
Akane Tsunemori has finished college top her class and can have her pick of the top jobs,…more

4 Star Of how not to run your life.
Director Julien Leclercq, (The Assault) seems to like doing films based on true events as is this film. Set around Gibraltar and the drugs trafficking that passes through it and onto the rest of Europe, this film shows the amounts found (10%) being the tip of the iceberg, as well as the…more
