Movie Review: ET: The Extra-Terrestrial
Posted by Aishah Alian on
ET: The Extra Terrestrial and the blu-ray from Netflix had a lot of interviews and special features that told a lot about how the film was produced. I remember seeing it several times in the theater in the early 1980s. I saw it in the initial run with my parents, but during the summer camp film series, ET was featured for several years. Then I saw it on TV a couple of times in the 1990s. I think it's safe to say that I haven't seen it for more than 20 years. I had forgotten quite a few of the...

It's done by the creator of the Journey to the Center of the Earth manga adaptation so you can expect rich details in the artwork interspersed with intense action scenes.

Anime Review: 3-Gatsu No Lion (March comes in like a lion)
Posted by Aishah Alian on
I just finished 3 Gatsu no Lion (March comes in like a Lion) and I think it's one of the most powerful slices of life series that I've ever seen. There's no supernatural, no superpowers, no fantasy, everything is very raw and realistic. People struggling and persevering, the melancholic mood is punctuated with the characters celebrating the small victories of life. Rei, the main character, is a 2nd-year high school student who has been a professional shogi player since middle school. His father died when he was very young and Rei was then adopted by his father's best friend who...
