What's Right and Wrong with the New Live-Action Death Note!
Just mere months ago, the first trailer for the new live-action Death Note movie was released onto YouTube by Netflix. Not too long after the release, we started to see a love/hate relationship with the teaser, and that's to be expected. Yes, there was some great stuff in the teaser trailer (Ryuk mostly), but there were also some things that we didn't agree with entirely. Now before we get into this list, I just wanna say that while yes, we as anime fans do have a rough history with film adaptations *COUGH* Dragon Ball *COUGH*, I actually do see potential and have hope in this live-action adaptation! So with that being said, let's get right into the list!

Adventures in Babysitting (1987) Review: A Wild Night Out and an 80s Classic with a Big Heart
A Lovable Relic of 80s Teen Comedy When Adventures in Babysitting hit theaters in 1987, few could have guessed that this modest teen comedy would become such a beloved 80s relic. Directed by Chris Columbus in his feature debut and starring the effortlessly appealing Elisabeth Shue, the film captures both the reckless fun and innocent sweetness of a bygone era of studio comedies.

Are Remakes Killing Original Movies?
Now I know what you're thinking, oh hell yes of course remakes are killing original movies. There is no way that Hollywood hasn't had a good idea since the 80's. Well yes and no. I know I know, you're thinking geezz this girl can't make up her mind. She must be drinking crazy juice. Well if you're calling wine my crazy juice I'll take it. But hear me out as to why I think there is hope for original ideas.

Akira—How the World Fell in Love with an Incomplete Masterpiece
In 1988, the world was treated to the stunning marvel that is Akira. Critically acclaimed, and celebrated the world over, Akira has become a staple of cult cinema and anime. Based on the seminal Manga of the same name by Katsuhiro Otomo, and more commonly referred to as the stack of phone books most collectors of such material have in the top corner of their libraries. The film has garnered much respect for its visuals, style, and compelling story. It was revolutionary in its creation, even from a technical standpoint. Having all new colours created for the process of cell colourisation, particularly in the films numerous nighttime scenes, and its use of pre-recorded dialogue, something that while standard in the west, was and still is, consistently uncommon in the east.

The Riddler Wore Tights
"I was simply meant to be in theater."The Riddler, Batman: The Riddle Factory (Matt Wagner, 1995) Some time ago my Nan called me over to put on one of her films: the 1947 Technicolor musical Mother Wore Tights. So I put on the DVD, made us both a cup of tea, and then sat down and watched the first twenty minutes of it with her. My curiosity was straightaway piqued by the character of vaudeville performer Frank Burt (played by Dan Dailey). Just take a look at the outfit worn by Dailey during one musical number:

Haunted Movies
Movies have been a source of entertainment for decades, and creative minds draw inspirations and ideas from real life events, all the time. Just because a movie might be classed as fictional horror, doesn't mean there might be some truth behind the story.
