		<description><![CDATA[Redline is a goofy trip back to the fantasies of school boys in America in the 1970&#8242;s.  The cars are all outrageous Hot Wheels, the characters are straight out of Heavy Metal magazine, and the animation is filled with hand-drawn speed morphs and disco sparkles.  It&#8217;s all recycled and it looks excellent, but it ultimately [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The fourteenth Zatoichi film in five years, Zatoichi&#8217;s Pilfrimage (a.k.a Zatoichi&#8217;s Ocean Voyage) is surprisingly hard to find.  I didn&#8217;t realize until after I&#8217;d seen it that star Shintaro Katsu owned this particular installment outright so it wasn&#8217;t a part of most of the home video deals that were made with western companies.  There are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bleach has been a very successful TV series in Japan, breaking out of its shonen mold to appeal to a much wider audience.  So wide, in fact, that the series has spawned several feature films.  Diamond Dust Rebellion (DDR), the second of these features, is better than the first, but the creators still don&#8217;t seem [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In 1965, Daiei Motion Picture Company came up with Gamera to compete with Toho Studio&#8217;s very popular Godzilla franchise.  There are a lot of similarities, but Gamera could never seem to top the publicity machine that was Godzilla.  He was always condemned to second place until, in 1995, director Shusuke Kanedo decided to resurrect the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mamoru Hosoda&#8217;s Summer Wars is an animated feature film that bridges the fairly wide gap between Miyazaki&#8217;s brand of sentimentality and William Gibson&#8217;s cyber warfare.  The  result of that odd pairing is a family film that is visually inventive and surprisingly satisfying. The story revolves around Kenji Koiso, a high schooler who works part time [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hirokazu Koreeda wowed me with his 2008 film, Still Walking, so I decided to check out some of his other work.  First up is Hana, the film Koreeda made prior to Still Walking, and in it I see very little of what made Still Walking such a masterpiece.  That&#8217;s both good and bad.  I had [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The first feature film from director Masahiro Ando, Sword of the Stranger, gets a lot of things right.  Unfortunately, originality isn&#8217;t one of those things, but this is still a beautifully rendered animated film with a lot going for it. The story is fairly simple.  A Japanese boy named Kotaro is fleeing a group of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With a title like Geisha Assassin (or Geisha Vs. Ninjas,the original title), expectations are certainly lowered from the get-go, but I had a glimmer of hope that this movie would at the very least be fun to watch; a guilty pleasure, if you will.  Well, if you find much pleasure here, you should certainly feel [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Much like Lawrence Kasdan&#8217;s The Big Chill, Still Walking is hard to describe in a single logline.  While it is a family drama that unfolds mostly during the anniversary of the death of the family&#8217;s eldest son, that&#8217;s a little like saying that the Big Chill takes place at a funeral.  It&#8217;s really about the [...]]]></description>
