The Mermaid (Mei Ren Yu) – I admit, I’m a huge fan Stephen Chow and I totally dropped the ball on this one! This latest work is the highest grossing Chinese film of all time! This time a billionaire playboy has bought a wildlife reserve but uses sonar to get rid of the sea life in the area. However, this reserve is where the mermaids call home and it kills most of them. Now a mermaid has learned to walk on her fins to go on land and try to assassinate the playboy as revenge. Rated R.
Only Yesterday – A previously unreleased in the United States Studio Ghibli movie finally out on video with a new dub by GKids in time for it’s 25 anniversary! Rated PG.

Not Rated.

Cartoon/Anime
Project Itoh: Empire of Corpses – Empire of Corpses was the first of Project Itoh films to be dubbed and released by Funimation Films in theaters. The Empire of Corpses follows John Watson in an alternate version of the 19th century where Frankenstein’s monster kicked off an industrial revolution based of the technology to reanimate the dead to be used as soldiers or manual labor. After Watson is caught reanimating his dead friend Friday without government permission, he’s recruited to work for the government to recover Dr. Victor Frankenstein’s lost notes that may contain the information to reanimate the dead completely with a fully developed replacement soul to replace the one that is lost during death. Watson travels the world with his reanimated friend Friday in tow to recover the notes and give Friday back his soul. We quite liked this movie though it got a little weird at the end, though that could be partly due to it being unfinished due to Project Itoh’s death. You can listen to our review of the movie here!
