  • Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes

    —

    ,

    As much as I wanted to play this when it came out – I do consider myself a fan of the series – I absolutely refused to buy it because I didn’t want to support the pricing scheme. Charging $30 for this would indicate that you are getting half of what you would get from…

  • La cour secrète des Arcanes

    —

    ,

    I love Corto Maltese, and although I do love the books, I also quite like the animated films that have been done (five I think), and re-watching them during the summer always seems appropriate. I started off with La cour secrète des Arcanes, and just loved it so much. The quality of the animation is…

  • Terror in Resonance

    ,

    Shinichiro Watanabe (Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo) is on a tear of late, and here’s yet another anime series from him, Terror in Resonance (Zankyo no Terror). Surprise, surprise, it’s pretty much impossible to tell where this is going based on just the first episode, but I’m definitely intrigued, and looking forward to seeing where they…

  • Miss Marple

    ,

    After watching Death on the Nile, I got in the mood to watch more Agatha Christie mysteries – which I’m sure would make my parents happy, as they continue to watch all of the series that get produced – and we found that Hulu Japan has the 1984 BBC Miss Marple series. We’ll probably end…

  • Death on the Nile

    —

    ,

    Over the past few years I’ve been occasionally reading Agatha Christie novels – I’m currently reading Peril at End House – and I was in the mood to watch this. I’m not quite sure if I did see this back in the day or not – I could have, and I do remember seeing most…

  • Jodorowsky’s Dune

    —

    ,

    It’s a crime against humanity that Jodorowsky’s Dune was never made. This is an absolutely fascinating documentary – possibly the best film I’ve seen this year – and you can’t help but feel excited as Jodorowsky walks you through what the film would have been like. The whole time watching it I couldn’t help but…

  • Eighty

    ,

    Lordy, lordy, look who’s… 80. The next edition of PauseTalk is just over a week away (happening on Monday, July 7), and not only is it the Vol. 80, but it also marks the 8th anniversary of the series. (Well, last month would have been the true anniversary, since I started it in June, but…

  • Sound City

    ,

    I like documentaries like this, that for the most part tell a story that has happened, but then cap it by actively adding an extension to the story. It reminded me a bit of Jack White’s It Might Get Loud documentary, which I also really enjoyed. But yeah, what a great story, of this little…
