Gantz:O – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)
Overview/ Review (with Spoilers) For a little more than a year, between the new versions of Sailor Moon and Digimon, featuring the 1st season’s Digi-Destined, it seemed cashing in on nostalgia was a good thing. But then came Gantz:O.

Una Noche – Overview/Review (with Spoilers)
Overview An unfamiliar tale, with known consequences. We are introduced to the lives of three young people seeking more than what Havana, Cuba can offer.

Overview/ Review (with Spoilers) There is something about French cinema that, I guess since I don’t live in France, makes the topics and characters just seem so refreshing to watch.

One Night (1 Night) – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)
This movie might be a pleasant surprise. For one, it features a romance which isn’t about unrealistic showboating and over the top grandeur gestures.
