Big Eyes Smart Mouth: Berserk

Serdar Yegulalp
October 19, 2016
Big Eyes Smart Mouth
The return of Kentarō Miura's violent fantasy epic to the little screen brings with it a fidelity to its strong characterization and powerful story -- and a renewed appreciation of all that was problematic the first time

Big Eyes Smart Mouth: Let’s Animate This – Dune

Serdar Yegulalp
October 5, 2016
Big Eyes Smart Mouth
Of all the science fiction properties for Hollywood to flirt with, Dune was among both the best and the worst.

Big Eyes Smart Mouth: Harmony

Serdar Yegulalp
September 21, 2016
Big Eyes Smart Mouth
If Harmony doesn't make a case for balance, most dystopias don't anyway. If they did, I suspect they wouldn't be called dystopias.

Big Eyes Smart Mouth: The Empire of Corpses

Serdar Yegulalp
September 7, 2016
Big Eyes Smart Mouth
Label anything 'steampunk' and the label tends to take over, but this fantasy from the late lamented Project Itoh is about more than just clockworks and longcoats.

Big Eyes Smart Mouth: Belladonna of Sadness

Serdar Yegulalp
August 10, 2016
Big Eyes Smart Mouth
Restored to its original psychedelic glory, this mad masterwork from Osamu Tezuka's studio goes from chic porn to feminist parable and everything in between.

Big Eyes Smart Mouth: The Boy and the Beast

Serdar Yegulalp
July 20, 2016
Big Eyes Smart Mouth
Mamoru Hosoda's new film starts as a predictable story of irreconcilable opposites forced to work together, but becomes something more ambitious and challenging -- and worth sticking with despite its narrative bumps.

Big Eyes Smart Mouth: No Longer Human

Serdar Yegulalp
June 22, 2016
Big Eyes Smart Mouth, Movies, Reviews
The first of the 'Aoi Bungaku' animated adaptations of classical Japanese literature is a keen, well-devised adaptation of Osamu Dazai's novel of downfall and decadence, No Longer Human.

Big Eyes Smart Mouth: Rampo Kitan: Game of Laplace

Serdar Yegulalp
June 1, 2016
Big Eyes Smart Mouth, Reviews
Edogawa Rampo's 'erotic-grotesque' horror stories are remixed for the (post)modern day in this sinister, surreal, and colorful adventure.

Big Eyes Smart Mouth: A-JIN: Demi-Human

Serdar Yegulalp
May 18, 2016
Big Eyes Smart Mouth, Reviews, TV
After 'Knights of Sidonia', Netflix and Polygon Pictures aim -- successfully -- for darker and harder-hitting territory.

The Live-Action ‘Ghost In The Shell’ Is Further Evidence Hollywood Has No Idea How To Adapt Anime

Serdar Yegulalp
April 20, 2016
Big Eyes Smart Mouth, Movies
With all the anime/manga projects out there to choose from, why does Hollywood insist on choosing the ones that give it the biggest cultural difficulties?

Big Eyes Smart Mouth: Concrete Revolutio

Serdar Yegulalp
April 6, 2016
Big Eyes Smart Mouth, Reviews
Concrete Revolutio is a sprawling anime answer to Watchmen, with all of the ambition -- and all of the shortcomings -- implied by such a thing.

Big Eyes Smart Mouth: Night on the Galactic Railroad

Serdar Yegulalp
March 16, 2016
Big Eyes Smart Mouth
I might once have described Kenji Miyazawa's Night on the Galactic Railroad as Japan's answer to The Little Prince.

Big Eyes Smart Mouth: Lady Snowblood

Serdar Yegulalp
February 24, 2016
Big Eyes Smart Mouth, Movies
A pivotal inspiration for Tarantino's 'Kill Bill', the violent revenge tale Lady Snowblood brings us an anti-heroine who's as much of an outsider for being a woman as she is for being an assassin.

Big Eyes Smart Mouth: Rurouni Kenshin

Serdar Yegulalp
December 2, 2015
Big Eyes Smart Mouth, Movies
When the first film in this live-action trilogy of Rurouni Kenshin is among the very best adaptations yet of an manga/anime property, we can forgive any weaknesses in the whole.

Big Eyes Smart Mouth: Fullmetal Alchemist

Serdar Yegulalp
November 11, 2015
Big Eyes Smart Mouth
Fullmetal Alchemist deserves more to be seen for where it rethinks and reinterprets, and less for how it deviates from the playbook.

Vampyros Lesbos / She Killed in Ecstasy

Serdar Yegulalp
October 1, 2015
DVD/Blu-ray, Movies, Reviews
Vampyros Lesbos and She Killed In Ecstasy were intended to be moneymaking exploitation pictures, not cult items.

Big Eyes Smart Mouth: Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust (2001)

Serdar Yegulalp
September 23, 2015
Big Eyes Smart Mouth, Movies, Reviews
The most pleasant surprise of Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust is not just how much of an improvement it is over the original film, but how much it also improves upon its source material.

Angst (1983) Blu-ray Review

Serdar Yegulalp
September 21, 2015
DVD/Blu-ray, Movies, Reviews
Gerard Kargl's Angst, unseen for decades, is as good a case study as any for a movie that transcends its own mythology.

Big Eyes Smart Mouth: Vampire Hunter D (1985)

Serdar Yegulalp
September 9, 2015
Big Eyes Smart Mouth
Two impulses are at work within me when discussing the new reissue of the 1985 Vampire Hunter D film.

Big Eyes Smart Mouth: Robot Carnival (1987)

Serdar Yegulalp
August 26, 2015
Big Eyes Smart Mouth
Robot Carnival is a product of anime from as far removed from our time now as the release of Disney's Sleeping Beauty was from its time.
