Oct 3, 2001 Anime Movies Vampire Hunter D by Toyoo Ashida (Review) Compared to much of the anime coming out today, it seems pallid and stale.
Oct 3, 2001 Movies Full Metal Jacket by Stanley Kubrick (Review) I often describe this film as disturbing, but not for the normal reasons.
Oct 3, 2001 Movies Kwaidan by Masaki Kobayashi (Review) As a visual expression, it’s quite captivating and beautiful to behold.
Oct 3, 2001 Anime Movies Galaxy Express 999 by Rintaro (Review) I’ve heard many people describe this as a serious, “adult” anime, but I don’t buy it.
Oct 3, 2001 Movies Armour of God by Jackie Chan, Eric Tsang (Review) Plenty of kung fu hijinks abound but Armour of God never makes up for all of the crap you have to sit through.
Oct 3, 2001 Movies The Hitman by Wei Tung (Review) I wouldn’t call this one a “must-see,” but if you have a chance to see it, and would like to see more of Jet Li, you certainly can’t go wrong.
Oct 3, 2001 Movies Bullet in the Head by John Woo (Review) A very powerful movie that shows, in often brutal detail, the effects of war on the friendship of three young men.

Oct 3, 2001 Anime Movies Macross Plus: The Movie by Shōji Kawamori (Review) It successfully combines high-tech action sequences with some interesting, if not moving human interest stories.

Sep 15, 2001 Music Taking Care of You (Bliss Out, Volume 10) by Junior Varsity KM (Review) Even though it’s electronic, there’s a very personal and innocent quality to the music that should match any indie-pop fan’s liking.
Sep 14, 2001 Movies The Wild Bunch by Sam Peckinpah (Review) It’s that age-old argument; is it the world’s violence that corrupts man, or does man’s violence corrupt the world?
Sep 14, 2001 Music Serpents for Eggs by S.S. Bountyhunter (Review) I love the fact that it’s Christians putting this stuff out, that it’s Christians who are pushing the envelope of what’s acceptable.
Sep 14, 2001 Music Non-Fi Is the Best Fi by Fi (Review) A fresh sound that captures interest with beautiful songwriting and lush instrumentation.
Sep 14, 2001 Movies Heller in Pink Tights by George Cukor (Review) The cast was an excellent choice, and set the tone for the 1960s, which became an incredible decade for westerns.
Sep 14, 2001 Music Tribute by Cody Cods (Review) Employing Southern rock stylings with some funk and occasional smatterings of hip-hop and metal, Tribute is extremely patchy.
Sep 3, 2001 Movies Three Seasons by Tony Bui (Review) Bui’s view of Vietnam is not of a wartorn country, but of a country full of life and energy.
Sep 3, 2001 Music Vespertine by Björk (Review) ‘Vespertine’ trades the icy bombast of ‘Homogenic’ for deeper, richer, more intimate soundscapes and incredibly revealing lyrics.
