Singer starred in Oldboy director's I'm a Cyborg (But That's Okay)
The Associated Press reports that a manager for the South Korean pop artist Rain has said on May 9 that he is negotiating to appear in the Speed Racer live-action movie. Rain is popular throughout much of Asia and was on Time's Most Influential 100 list in 2006 and People's Most Beautiful list in 2007. He headlined Oldboy director Chan-wook Park's last film, I'm a Cyborg (But That's Okay).
The Matrix creators Andy and Larry Wachowski have already signed Emile Hirsch (Speed), Christina Ricci (Trixie), Matthew Fox (Racer X), John Goodman (Pops), Susan Sarandon (Mom), and Kick Gurry (Sparkie). The movie is based on a television series which itself adapted Tatsunoko Production's Mach Go Go Go car-racing anime series.

Review: Final Fantasy XIII-2
"Rather than reinvent its predecessor, Final Fantasy XIII-2 just improves its ideas in smaller ways. It's more casually enjoyable than Final Fantasy XIII, but it's still unsatisfying in the long run." Check out Todd Ciolek's verdict on the latest in the long-running franchise now.

Ouran High School Host Club GN 17
There is but one volume remaining to Ouran High School Host Club, and it has been a fun ride. While this book doesn't quite live up the earlier ones in terms of pure, lighthearted enjoyment, it is still solidly entertaining.

Cage of Eden GN 2 & 3
Cage of Eden has all of the elements of a classic survival epic – monsters, diseases, an unfriendly wilderness with no perceived escape, and our own ability as humans to lie. While it can be laid on a bit thick at times, and the fanservice or treatment of the adult female characters may be objectionable to some, Yamada's story is an engrossing one.

Heaven's Lost Property Blu-Ray + DVD
A perverted young man becomes the master to a sexy, emotionally stunted, angel-like android with frightening power in this 2009 harem series. Though occasionally good, the series much more often wallows in crass stupidity.
Blue Exorcist DVD 2
Nothing here shakes up the series the way parts of the last volume did, but it's consummate entertainment nonetheless: slick and effortlessly propulsive, yet still respectful of its audience and characters.

This concise and well-adapted story is an exciting, intense action tale full of intriguing characters and drama. Unfortunately, the decision to heavily utilize 3D CG throughout the movie drags the overall production down.

Soul Rescue GN 12 souls saved, 1 soul lost to damnation, 9998 souls left to rescue. Few are likely to find these stats especially promising, and those rolling their eyes and groaning inwardly probably have the right idea.
