All You Need is Kill is a story that keeps coming back, but Studio 4C's version may be the most daring yet. ― The feature film All You Need is Kill opened in America last Friday, a week after it opened in Japan.

I wanted a spin on the usual “opposites attract” story, and that’s exactly what I got. Perhaps I wanted it a little too much. ― I feel like I was the only person on the face of the Earth who was the least bit excited for Inexpressive Kashiwada and Expressive Oota. Why not? I enjoyed the first episode enough, with its solid direction and its spin on the archetypal “opposites attract” premise. He's an ...

This modernized film of Alice in Wonderland is pleasant in places, but it's too mediocre to justify a cinema release. ― Maybe you've had the experience of waking in the early morning, turning on the TV, hopping channels, and stumbling on a kids' fantasy cartoon that you've not seen before; not a TV episode but a stand-alone cartoon special or film.
