Japan's space opera anime coming to live action film in December

That title above either gives you goosebumps like that revelation scene in Fight Club, or you just couldn’t care less (because you clearly don’t know what we’re talking about).

Axe-wielding Vikings, Aliens with laser canons, Fire-breathing Dragons…by all accounts, this movie is all the 13-year old boy in me could ever want (trust me, he’s not that hard to find). Of course, it all still go down cheesier and more repulsive than Doritos dust, but the trailer looks promising. I like Jim Caviezel, and […]

God , this show looks like so much fun to make. Fistifcuffs with Mexican wresters, motobike chases, a fat Italian guy putting ladies in check…Plus, I love how […]
