DVD restorations, reviews, and other general madness at no extra charge. Tuesday, May 20, 2014. In the Name of the Moon, I Boycott You. Is it weird that I'm sad this isn't. So let's talk, however briefly, about a girl I like to call "Bunny". You know, just to rile up both fan-bases at once. Viz Entertainment has announced, as of Friday, both the upcoming PRETTY GUARDIAN SAILOR MOON CRYSTAL/美少女戦士セーラームーンクリスタル. TV show, and the original 1992 PRETTY SOLDIER SAILOR MOON/美少女戦士セーラームーン. I'm sure they're good.

DVD restorations, reviews, and other general madness at no extra charge. Wednesday, December 24, 2014. Burial Treasure: There's Still Time To Crowd Source BURIAL GROUNDS. Just a friendly reminder that 88 Films' have successfully funded their remaster of Zombi Holocaust. For 7,500 pounds, and are trying to reach their stretch goal of 12,500 to restore the far superior BURIAL GROUNDS. They're currently at 11,808 pounds (or about $1,000 USD short) and there's 4 days left. We did it, boys and girls! Got a su...

DVD restorations, reviews, and other general madness at no extra charge. Monday, March 30, 2015. THE PHANTOM NAME: The Past, Future, and Implications of A Hideo Kojima Kojima Game. To help put things into perspective, I have a copy of Grindhouse Releasing's The Beyond. Sitting on my desk. It came in Wednesday, and I was excited to poke around at it. I was able to unwrap it Today. So here's a long, frustrated opinion piece to blow off some steam. If you don't care about Metal Gear Solid, or at least t...

DVD restorations, reviews, and other general madness at no extra charge. Tuesday, September 16, 2014. SD Night, Deadly Night. So, the good news is that Anchor Bay put out the original SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT. On Blu-ray for its 30th anniversary, complete with a new commentary track. It looks like garbage day. Based on the smattering of caps that have surfaced, with the most relevant sampling being found HERE. It's not that hard to grasp, is it? Silent Night Deadly Night. Thursday, September 04, 2014.

Kentai's Films: August 2014

DVD restorations, reviews, and other general madness at no extra charge. Sunday, August 24, 2014. Grainy Holocaust: A Few Words on Grindhouse Releasing's new CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST Blu-ray. This is somehow the least. Controversial part of Grindhouse Releasing's cover art. If I've not spoken at-length about Ruggero Deodato's 1980 magnum opus, CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST. It's a legitimately fascinating film because it's so full of bizarre contradictions. The film juxtaposes beautiful, Mondo Cane. The only modern day e...

DVD restorations, reviews, and other general madness at no extra charge. Saturday, June 21, 2014. They Say He's Got To Go. GODZILLA 2014. Gareth Edwards' 2010 feature film, MONSTERS. It's with mixed feelings that I say Gareth Edwards' 2014 reboot of GODZILLA. Represents a well intentioned and thematically relevant reboot of the title character very much in the style of the earlier Showa period films, with a particular reverence for both the original 1954 Godzilla: King of the Monsters/ゴジラ. Since it's imp...

DVD restorations, reviews, and other general madness at no extra charge. Monday, July 21, 2014. A Scanners Too Darkly: Criterion vs Subkultur. Criterion Collection Digipack (USA). It was with no small level of hesitation that I picked up the Criterion Collection release of David Cronenberg's 1981 head-exploding icon of legend, SCANNERS. For one thing, I've always personally found the flick kind of. middling. There's nothing about the film that I would classify as bad. Which all have a much more consisten...

We've talked about the 1985 version of VAMPIRE HUNTER D enough over the years, so let's just get down to business. VIDEO (FILM ELEMENTS AND TRANSFER). Heck, they might even be. That said, Vampire Hunter D has always. VIDEO (PROCESSING AND ENCODING). Degree. Having seen abominations released by Disney and Q-TEC I'm not going to b...

DVD restorations, reviews, and other general madness at no extra charge. Tuesday, February 17, 2015. The Cover Up: Canonical Conundrums. How do you even begin to quantify what is and isn't "canon" in fan fiction, I wonder? Don't worry friends, I'm not talking about 50 Shades of Gray. Back in 2005 the nine-piece group release The Protomen: Act I. The whole thing is, as you can guess, just a bit. Fan fiction, experimenting with familiar pieces in ways that I simply couldn't have fathomed possible until I s...
