June 16th, 2010 admin
It’s frightening that Japan is bowing to the pressure that pro-dolphin slaughter and whale slaughter groups are exerting over the planned screenings of the excellent documentary The Cove (Filmstalker review) It’s also extremely sad that the nation is hiding from the barbaric, unnecessary practice that is also dangerous to the health of the Japanese people, and what’s more that groups are

It seems that many people in Japan can’t take the truth of what is happening in Taiji and their government’s views towards whale and dolphin slaughter as there are threats and protests appearing outside the distributor’s offices and forced the cancelling of screenings in Tokyo, and recently a US base within Japan decided not to screen...

Finally, despite numerous attempts by groups who don’t want the truth of the Taiji’s regular dolphin slaughter seen, the film The Cove (Filmstalker review) has been screened in Japan. While these campaigners for the film not to be shown say it is anti-Japanese, those who do want it to be shown are talking about freedom of speech and the...

Having just watched The Cove, and I mean just watched, I can tell you now I’m moved and angry. Angry at Japan, at the International Whaling Commission, and the nations who are joining Japan for hard cash in order to help them slaughter whales and dolphins. It’s a powerful and moving documentary that really does open your eyes, and not about the...

The announcement that Quentin Tarantino recently starred in a Japanese Softbank commercial has been making headlines around the web this week, and I am still not quite sure why people are making such a big deal out of it. It’s no surprise that QT is somewhat well-versed in Japanese culture and no surprise that he enjoys hamming it up for...

There’s nothing like a little bit of pressure to force people to get on and do something, and that’s what seems to be happening with the next film following the current Batman. The sequel to The Dark Knight (Filmstalker review) now has a release date. Wait up though, there’s no script, Christopher Nolan is busy still on Inception,...

There are two things that really concern me about a documentary covering something like the recent financial collapse, one is that we, the audience understand far too little of what happened and what the people on the inside are talking about, and two if we’re talking to people who are the equivalent of those who are deemed responsible, then...

Stephen Norrington has been talking about his controversial remake of The Crow, I say controversial because most fans of the original film can’t see any reason at all to remake the film and a lot of those fans feel less than positive thoughts towards Norrington’s films, particularly The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, which I still...

I remember when I first heard about Sylvester Stallone taking the role of Judge Dredd and I was excited, he really did look the part and fit the bill, and I thought it could be superb casting. Then the script and direction missed the point, and while I think they produced a fun action film, it wasn’t Judge Dredd, not at all. So it’s no...
