It was a good time to suddenly remember to check in on my favorite Japanese actor. Oguri Shun (of Hana Yori Dango, Crows Zero fame among many many others) is gracing the big screen with yet another manga adaptation. With Rurouni Kenshin‘s live action debut a stellar success with 2 consecutive sequels at its heels, Shun must be clamoring to do the same with his portrayal of world class thief, Lupin III.
September 17 in the US. Hopefully only a few hours after airing it will be available for download. Excited. I have missed you, Schmidt.
And so our favorite blood, gore and sex soap opera comes to an end. With it femalekind’s much needed weekly dose of Alexander Skarsgard and his signature growl. Truly a pity. True Blood surely had its ups and downs in the last 6 years, from that Ilfrit ridiculousness and the annoying story line that is Lilith to peaks such as Anna Paquin’s Golden Globe win, stellar ratings and all of Alex’s screen time. The source material isn’t exactly the stuff of brain food, but it is perfect meat for guilty pleasure. For that, thanks to all concerned. My most ardent wish now,…
The best, most creative photo teaser for a film I’ve seen in a long time. Or maybe I’m just very much invested. It also sucks that I got word of the leaked trailer too late. Look for it now, click and expect a “video has been removed by user” message to pop up. For those who would make do with a transcript instead though, MTV.com was nice enough to lay it out for us. The footage starts on a close up of Professor X’s eye, with the voice over asking, “What’s the last thing you remember?” The footage then shows…
Yeah that was intended to be grammatically confusing. I guess I cannot be witty or original with titles right now as I am still cartwheeling with joy from the announcement that my favorite scarred samurai is coming back for not one, but TWO confirmed sequels!! (short pause for fan boy and fan girl high fives) As reported by ANC News last July 3, Japanese magazine Jump Square announced that director Keishi Otomo will return to helm two upcoming movies– Rurouni Kenshin: Kyoto Taika-hen (Rurouni Kenshin: The Great Kyoto Fire Arc) and Rurouni Kenshin: Densetsu no Saigo-hen (Rurouni Kenshin: The End of…
One click at the trailer and I understand all the buzz behind getting a Game of Thrones director to helm the Marvel sequel. The second coming of the god of thunder is going to be darker, stronger, and definitely beyond epic. Even Jane Foster will seemingly shake off her remaining damsel-in-distress feathers as her man takes a couple of steps further up the pedestal of bad ass. I just got a tiny less excited for Iron Man 3. November can’t come soon enough. Photo and video credits to owner #Thor2 #thedarkworld
