We are just having fun reviewing and discussing comic books, graphic novels, manga, anime/animation, music and movies that we have recently read, listened to or watched.
Edge of Tomorrow is the next Tom Cruise Science Fiction movie, by Warner Bros., and is scheduled for a June 6, 2014 release date. It is based on the novel All You Need Is Kill by Hiroshi Sakurazaka. The novel revolves around the story of a battle armored soldier that dies and is re-incarnating over and over again. Check out the trailer from “Warner Bros. Pictures” channel on YouTube:
This is one that if it is shown in your area looks to be a fun one. It’s surprising that a Disney movie is getting a limited release, but there you go. If you are a Mary Poppins fan you definitely will want to see Saving Mr. Banks. Thanks to “MOVIECLIPS Trailers” for the following trailer:
Yu-Gi-Oh! always been a hot TCG, manga and anime. Now WizKids will be bringing collectors Yu-Gi-Oh HeroClix. This will attract your HeroClix collectors as well as the Yu-Gi-Oh collectors. The images above are just representations of what the HeroClix might look like, no final pieces have been shown yet to the public. The Yu-Gi-Oh starter set, with six figures, is scheduled for release on December 18. Then in February 2014 the gravity feed’s will hit the market. The gravity feed’s will have a total of 55 figures in the set with: 16 common figures; 15 uncommon figures; 12 rare figures; 9 super rare figures; and 3 chase figures. This set might be one you want to add to your gaming collection.
We are getting another chance at making a Godzilla movie. I didn’t mind the last one, but Godzilla has a specific look that was not represented, which upset a lot of fans. This time it looks like Warner Bros. is trying to keep that specific image that everyone gets when you say Godzilla. Thanks to the “Godzilla” channel on YouTube for providing this teaser trailer, it looks fairly decent and it is scheduled for a May 16, 2014 release date:
After a couple of teaser trailers we finally get the first full trailer for the upcoming Kiki live action film. I would expect this movie will be either dubbed or subbed to be sold in the North American market when it becomes available for sale. I’m sure everyone has the anime in their collection. Thanks to “maidigitv” on YouTube for the following trailer:

The first single off Oil Panic is the funktronica of Grønn Extra, a heavy hitter that is sure to stick with you after your first listen. Inspired by childhood memories of electro and thriving 80s urban pop culture, Torgny says “with Grønn Extra, it seemed like the only way forward was to acknowledge the past.” Reminiscent of Prince’s Lady Cab Driver and Chromeo’s Needy Girl, Torgny’s powerful vocals expertly layer atop the original melody and meticulously crafted rhythms to set this song in a category all its own.
Torgny has this late 1990’s – early 2000’s feel to their song above Gr0nn Extra. It made me remember things like the “Axel F Theme” from Beverly Hills Cop, with Eddie Murphy. It’s nice to hear music with influences from the past and not just literally doing a cover, though if done right I love covers to. Check Torgny out I above, I believe you will like the sound.
Here is what Sony Pictures has planned for the next Amazing Spider-Man movie. Check out the trailer Song released on it’s YouTube channel:
The One Piece Symphony is heading back to Paris. It would be way cool to get some concert dates in North America. The symphony will play music from the anime in front of footage, also from the anime. If you are going to be in Paris on April 5, 2014, you might want to see if you can get some tickets to the performance. It will be at the Grand Rex for two performances, one at 2:00 p.m. and the other at 8:00 p.m. Check out the trailer below from “Le Fee Sauvage” on YouTube:
