BITS AND BOBS #1

Here's a little feature for all those things I watch or read that don't get reviews but still deserved to get talked aboot.

ONE PIECE VOL 9. 10. 11

Oh the EMOTIO ! That's what One Piece does best, it makes you feel! Makes you shed manly tears for a boat! See the air itself is SUPERCHARGED with emotion. Now I dini mean with angst or with emo but with pure awesomeness. Pure HOTBLOODED AWESOMENESS. We all know what One Piece is and that it's the best of the big three shonen. Don't deny it you know it to be true. These volumes deal with nami's tear jerker back story with the fish man pirate captain Arlong. It makes want to see Luffy beat the crap out of Arlong and it damn well delivers. AWESOMELY.

BATMAN GOTHAM KNIGHT

Six anime stories aboot Batman but the first story is 3 stories. So this has been out a fair while but this was my first time seeing it. It's just like the animatrix but for Batman. It was pretty fun sorta not linked stories that are actually linked that don't fit into the Nolan-verse but might actually do. And robot Batman makes an appearance which is always nice to see.

EUREKA SEVEN : GOOD NIGHT, SLEEP TIGHT, YOUNG LOVERS. THE MOVIE

See that's a hell of a title. That's a title just crazy enough to work. Sadly that's all I want to remember aboot this film. See I was hyped aboot this film. Not hyped enough to buy it for £14.99 when it first came oot but hyped enough to but it for a fiver in the sale. Thank funk I did cuz this sucked man and it saddens to say that. Yeah I was kind of expecting it too but it still hurts dudes, it hurts me deep in my manly heart. See Eureka Seven is an anime that's basically aboot sky surfing mecha and eventually Johnny Yong Bosch saving the world with the power of love. This movie is set in an alternate continuity and its kinda a clip show. I say kinda. It reuses old animation to tell a new story. See I could get behind that sort of thing but this story was just not worth it. People die man. Yeah in this movie they were a bit shady but they were real cool dudes in the TVshow. It's sorta grim too and I didn't leave it feeling happy. :(

PRINCESS MONONOKE

So I picked this up from Gamestation which was odd. This was mighty awesome, pretty much what you want from a Ghibli film. I've seen bits and pieces of it before but this was the first time I've seen it all the way through. So how the HELL is this a PG rated film? The sheer amount of limbs that are lost! It's like the people are made of plasticine. And vast seas of blood! Well maybe not that much blood but still. The hero was a damn bad ass but unfortunately I don't remember his name so I'm just going to refer to him as the hero. So the hero is cursed and is all walking the earth to find a cure before he dies getting involved in a war between animal gods and humans along the way. The whole thing is pretty grey in that that both the humans and the gods have some pretty cool dudes on both sides and no-one's that evil. Not my favourite Ghibli film I'veseen so far but still a damn fine film. Really gotta love Ghibli films dudes they're like proper film films.

GREEN LANTERN THE MOVIE

I didn't think it was that bad. Really I had fun watching it. Was the CGI suit really that bad? I didn't think so. Remember when Hal Jordan killed those 3 guys by punching them through a brick wall when he first used the ring? Cuz he totally killed those 3 guys by punching them though a brick wall. Not really that gid film anyway but I don't think it was as bad as everybody else thinks it was.
