Big Eyes Smart Mouth: Blade Runner Black Out 2022

Serdar Yegulalp
October 4, 2017
Big Eyes Smart Mouth
The simple algebra for Blade Runner Black Out 2022 is that it's to Blade Runner and Blade Runner 2049 as an episode of The Animatrix was to The Matrix generally.

Big Eyes Smart Mouth: Seijun Suzuki’s ‘TaishĹŤ Trilogy’

Serdar Yegulalp
September 20, 2017
Big Eyes Smart Mouth
Japan's Roaring Twenties are both backdrop and stage for these three excursions into the delirious, the decadent, and the surreal.

Big Eyes Smart Mouth: In This Corner of the World

Serdar Yegulalp
September 13, 2017
Big Eyes Smart Mouth
A masterwork, not just of period reconstruction and attention to the details of daily life, but also for the ways it navigates through the tricky issues of a story about WWII Japan without stumbling.

Big Eyes Smart Mouth: Death Note (2017)

Serdar Yegulalp
August 30, 2017
Big Eyes Smart Mouth
There are so many individual things wrong with Netflix's live-action Death Note film that you might as well roll dice to figure out where to start.

Big Eyes Smart Mouth: The Astonishing Work of Tezuka Osamu

Serdar Yegulalp
August 16, 2017
Big Eyes Smart Mouth
The work collected in Astonishing is as wide-ranging as the man who created it.

Welcome To The Desert Of The Real: The Live-Action ‘Gintama’ And ‘Bleach’

Serdar Yegulalp
August 2, 2017
Big Eyes Smart Mouth
There's always the chance the live-action 'Gintama' and 'Bleach' movies will be good, but right now they appear to embody the deadliest, most literal sins of such projects.

Big Eyes Smart Mouth: Outlaw Star

Serdar Yegulalp
July 12, 2017
Big Eyes Smart Mouth
Outlaw Star mashes together ingredients drawn as much from Westerns and wuxia adventure stories as it does space opera or pulp SF.

Big Eyes Smart Mouth: Ocean Waves

Serdar Yegulalp
June 14, 2017
Big Eyes Smart Mouth
A trifle of a film, but it doesn't overstate its importance or overstay its welcome, and it shows how Studio Ghibli gave as much care to stories like this as they did for any of Miyazaki's fantasias

Big Eyes Smart Mouth: Netflix’s BLAME!

Serdar Yegulalp
May 31, 2017
Big Eyes Smart Mouth
Nihei's original story sported a premise that lent itself to near-infinite extension.

Big Eyes Smart Mouth: Carried by the Wind – Tsukikage Ran

Serdar Yegulalp
May 3, 2017
Big Eyes Smart Mouth
The results are consistently hilarious, and so Tsukikage Ran works both as a love letter to its source material and a mutation of it, an homage and a sendup alike.

Big Eyes Smart Mouth: Miss Hokusai

Serdar Yegulalp
April 19, 2017
Big Eyes Smart Mouth
With a potentially fascinating story about the daughter of the fabled artist Hokusai and some beautiful production design, it's a shame this unfocused and aimless film isn't better.

Big Eyes Smart Mouth: The Tatami Galaxy

Serdar Yegulalp
March 15, 2017
Big Eyes Smart Mouth
When the director of 'Mind Game' and the author of 'The Eccentric Family' got together, they created a comedic masterpiece that plays like 'Groundhog Day' fused with both of those visionary projects.

Big Eyes Smart Mouth: Bungo Stray Dogs

Serdar Yegulalp
March 1, 2017
Big Eyes Smart Mouth
'Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter' for the J-lit set; a show that has one great creative invention and then spends its entire runtime doing nothing of consequence with it

Women in Horror: Soledad Miranda

Serdar Yegulalp
February 14, 2017
Women in Horror
Miranda was the source of a good half or more of the mesmerism exuded by these two movies. Put her onscreen, even doing nothing, and it’s impossible not to look at her.

Big Eyes Smart Mouth: Izetta: The Last Witch

Serdar Yegulalp
February 1, 2017
Big Eyes Smart Mouth
A promising opening, an intriguing spin on an alternate version of recent history, a classy-looking production -- but it all crumbles no thanks to abysmal characterization and storytelling decisions.

Big Eyes Smart Mouth: Neji-shiki / Screwed

Serdar Yegulalp
January 18, 2017
Big Eyes Smart Mouth
Screwed comes off like something from under the banner of the avant-garde Art Theatre Guild, the groundbreaking and envelope-pushing production company that became identified with Japan's '60s and '70s counterculture.

Big Eyes Smart Mouth: Barakamon

Serdar Yegulalp
December 14, 2016
Big Eyes Smart Mouth, Uncategorized
Having a city slicker hit the sticks isn't an innovative story by itself, but 'Barakamon' has heart, humor, and some surprising insight into what makes creative people tick.

Big Eyes Smart Mouth: Ergo Proxy

Serdar Yegulalp
November 30, 2016
Big Eyes Smart Mouth
Few anime intended for mainstream consumption are this avowedly experimental; fewer still pull it off to the degree this one does.

Big Eyes Smart Mouth: The Fake

Serdar Yegulalp
November 16, 2016
Big Eyes Smart Mouth
The follow-up from the director of 'King Of Pigs' is both more artistically accomplished and more emotionally scarring, an attempt to get us to care about someone who would otherwise never warrant our sympathy.

Big Eyes Smart Mouth: Thunderbolt Fantasy

Serdar Yegulalp
November 2, 2016
Big Eyes Smart Mouth
This wild, stylish marriage of Gerry Anderson-style marionettes, wuxia cinema, and gnarly anime plotting may be tough to take in at first, but we all complained about big eyes and small mouths once upon a time
