Tabletop Review – Cyberpunk Red- Core Rulebook
Back in the late 1980’s and throughout the 1990’s I was huge into tabletop roleplaying games, and then I took a break that lasted about 20 years. In the last 3-4 years I’ve gotten back into TTRPG’s pretty hard. I started by buying new editions of games I played back then starting with D&D 5e,…
DVD Review – Austin City Limits Country – Time Life
I have lived in Austin for almost 10 years now. Now my reasons for moving here are many, and in the end it boiled down to my career (I’m in tech, don’t judge me). One of the main reasons Austin came on my radar was a teenage viewing of Richard Linklater’s seminal ode to Austin…
Blu-ray Review – Death Promise – Vinegar Syndrome
Somehow I had never heard of Death Promise before it had landed on my doorstep. After having watched its Death Wish meets Kung Fu trash charms, I am not just sold, I am addicted. I have started the day finding friends to tell about the film. The film follows Charley Roman, a karate-fighter, whose Dad…
Blu-ray Review – Food Wars – Fourth Plate
Being on a diet and watching the “Fourth Plate” (Fourth Season) of Food Wars is not the ideal situation. I’ve had food in anime (see the films of Hayao Miyazaki as an example) where the food looks good enough to eat, but Food Wars takes that to the extreme so much so, that over the…
Blu-ray Review – Venus Wars – Sentai Filmworks
So when I was getting beyond the Robotech/Dragon Warrior phase of my anime fandom, Cartoon Network and the Sci-Fi channel were there to rescue me with some random blocks of anime. Obviously, CN had Adult Swim, but Sci-Fi had some cool stuff too, and they pretty frequently would show the classic Yoshikazu Yasuhiko anime film…
Blu-ray Review – Motto : To Love Ru – Sentai Filmworks
OK, so a few years back on the older web 1.0’ish version of EuroCultAV we reviewed To Love Ru- The Complete Collection. Our assessment of the time was that the first 2 seasons of To Love Ru (this Blu-ray set is the 2nd season) were a bit too on the campy and episodic , and…
Blu-ray Review – Kandagawa Jet Girls – Sentai Filmworks
Kandagawa Jet Girls is a multimedia project that ties together this 12 episode anime series with an OVA and PS4 racing game. The series premise is quite simple Rin has long wanted to follow in her late Mother’s footsteps. Those footsteps, however, would lead her to be a racer in the sport of Kandagawa Jet…
Blu-ray Review – Pet – Sentai Filmworks
Let me just start by saying that Pet is a show you need to watch front to back. In fact I’m sure this is a show that will reward multiple viewings, and I certainly hope picks up viewers as time goes by. The show is a deeply psychological affair that follows a group of people…
Director Spotlight: Damiano Damiani
Damiano Damiani isn’t probably as well known outside Italy as many other Italian genre filmmakers of the ‘60s and ‘70s, but he was quite successful in his home country, particularly in the ‘60s, and became known for his highly politicized genre pictures like the well-regarded spaghetti western A Bullet for the General and the mafia…
