      The Boy and the Beast (4K Ultra HD Blu-ray)

      Mamoru Hosoda’s 4K release of The Boy and the Beast fits into a prodigious filmography about family that’s told from several different perspectives.

      Evangelion 2.22 You Can (Not) Advance review

      2009’s Evangelion 2.22 You Can (Not) Advance continues the Rebuild saga’s ambitious reimagining, habitually eschewing being an unwarranted copy of the landmark 1995 anime. Where 1.11 stayed forgivably close to the original blueprint, this 108-minute sequel finds Hideaki Anno and his team confidently revising story and intensifying the sense of…

      City Hunter: ANGEL DUST review

      City Hunter: ANGEL DUST is poised to delight fans of Tsukasa Hojo’s forty-year old franchise. Following decades of spin-offs, adaptations, and at least one live-action Jackie Chan film, ANGEL DUST revisits what made the original property such a phenomenon.

      Cloud review

      Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s latest film, Cloud, devotes its early moments to the ordinary, detailing the seemingly unremarkable world of online reselling. But Kurosawa’s direction elevates this mundane premise into a taut thriller. The story follows Ryosuke Yoshii (Masaki Suda) a factory worker who supplements his income through predatory reselling. His business…

      Ghost Cat Anzu review

      With its voyage to Japan’s pastoral countryside and a larger-than-life creature who functions as a surrogate parent, Ghost Cat Anzu’s early moments might draw comparison with My Neighbor Totoro. Later, a third-act chase through the netherworld shares a resemblance to Spirited Away. But directors Yōko Kuno and Nobuhiro Yamashita animated…
