[Anime] Dreamworks getting serious about a live action Ghost in the Shell Film

This past Friday, that DreamWorks had reached a deal with Snow White and the Huntsman director, Rupert Sanders for a live action adaptation of Ghost in the Shell.



It's really no surprise that DreamWorks wants to do something with the GitS, they acquired the rights to the franchise back in 2008 with Steven Spielberg being enamored by the series. Back then it was rumored he would direct as well...

Films in Brief: 1/31/14

Guys, let's face harsh facts. The new mainstream releases for the past couple of weeks have been sometimes painfully awful or just plain disappointing. Sure, there are a lot of things going on in indie cinema to celebrate (and especially in Canadian cinema), but for those looking for a bit of film history or nostalgia to get through what has been a pretty savage winter thus far (both in terms of quality and temperature), Cineplex and the TIFF Bell Lightbox have you covered.



THE GREAT DIGITAL FILM FESTIVAL kicks off at select Cineplex locations across Canada today (including for the first time ever in Halifax, .), bringing with it a whole slew of cinematic classics for the low price of $6. With a specific focus this year on science fiction and superheroes, one of the highlights is an all day comic themed blockbusters (on February 2nd) that runs the gamut from the original Richard Donner SUPERMAN to Tim Burton's now 25 year old BATMAN (and Christopher Nolan's THE DARK KNIGHT) to Joss Whedon's large scale team-up THE AVENGERS, and more. If caped capers aren't your thing, there's some classic anime (the also 25 year old AKIRA and the equally heralded GHOST IN THE SHELL), a Guy Richie double bill (LOCK, STOCK, AND TWO SMOKING BARRELS, SNATCH), some classic Terry Gilliam (BRAZIL, MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL, and the incredibly underrated THE FISHER KING), a couple of seemingly randomly selected classic James Bond films (ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE, THUNDERBALL), and some cult sci-fi classics (FLASH GORDON, BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, TRON, LOGAN'S RUN). But perhaps most bodacious and welcome of all are 25th anniversary screenings of the most excellent and often bogusly imitated BILL AND TED'S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE. That one alone is pretty radical.

Animes I Like Part 1

Ok, so a couple of people at my school have asked me for my complete list of animes and my thoughts on each one, so here we are:

I'm breaking this into parts, because, like the big nerdy otaku that I am, I have watched ALOT of animes, and to keep this from being one long ass post, I'll just use genres.
