About:
Miramax Films was founded in 1979 by brothers Harvey and Bob Weinstein. The name is a combination of the names of the brothers' parents (Miriam and Max Weinstein). Initially, Miramax distributed and/or produced independent and foreign films such as sex lies and videotape (1989) and The Crying Game (1992). In 1993, Buena Vista Entertainment purchased the company for $65 million. Since then, Miramax has released an endless string of box-office hits and award-winning flicks such as Pulp Fiction (1994), Clerks (1994), The English Patient (1996), Life is Beautiful (1997) and Kill Bill vols. 1-2 (2003-2004). The company also went into the anime licensing business, starting with the 1999 U.S. release of Hayao Miyazaki's 1997 masterpiece Princess Mononoke.
The Weinstein Brothers ran Miramax until September 30, 2005, when they parted ways with Buena Vista to form The Weinstein Company. In addition, they took the Dimension Films label with them.

Sasameki Koto Episodes 1-
Sugar: A Little Snow Fairy DVD 1... what it does have is a quality that seems to have gone missing from the industry as of late. It's honest. One of the last few honest anime shows.

Evangelion: 2.0 You Can [Not] AdvanceEvangelion 2.0 feels as though the project has been put on mood stabilizers: it's not any happier, but it's more stable and certainly more focused. And in the end, it's a vast improvement. It hurts so good.
S.A Sub.DVDDespite a flimsy premise and lackluster male lead, this story about a girl doomed to perpetually finish second to a chief rival who has secretly fallen in love with her (mostly) succeeds for two simple reasons: it is often quite funny and occasionally endearingly sweet.

Tower of Druaga: the Aegis of Uruk DVD
Forget that it was based on a game only two generations removed from Pong; this is unexpectedly involving popcorn fare with a wickedly circular sense of humor. Good stuff all around.

Blue Drop Sub.DVD Complete Collection
An amnesiac girl enrolls in an all-girl boarding school where she meets and forms a tumultuous relationship with a secretly alien beauty in this sci fi-themed yuri series. Despite its gimmicky foundation, this nearly-overlooked gem is elegant in execution as it focuses more on developing its characters and relationships.

Fullmetal Alchemist: The Movie Blu-ray
Fullmetal Alchemist is a series for the ages, and even if this part of it doesn't quite live up to its earlier incarnation, it's well worth watching and definitely worth owning. Fans will deeply appreciate this better-looking re-release.
Xenosaga: The Animation DVD 1An adaptation of the first chapter of the popular PS2 sci fi RPG, it looks good and never gets boring, but tries to do so much that it comes off heavy on content and light on substance.
