Chicago, Il – – Asian Pop-Up Cinema: Season 13 will present 30 films at an in-person and drive-in festival, with select titles available for online streaming. The festival opens September 15 and runs through October 12, 2021, at AMC River East 21, The Davis Theater and ChiTown Drive-In.

Truth be told, the sequel of one of the best action movies of the decade was not exactly something I expected, despite the fact that manga/anime adaptations tend to repeat their recipe, particularly if the initial one was as successful as “The Fable”. The surprise, however, was a pleasant one, particularly because the second movie was equally entertaining.

Expert assassin disguised as an ordinary citizen Akira Sato continues to live in Osaka with colleague Yoko, who is tasked with forbidding him from killing any more. Akira works as a graphic designer in a small film, where his rather childish drawings have found some appeal among customers, even if his boss, CEO Takoda and employee Misaki, frequently laugh with both their quality and the amount of effort he puts into them. Eventually though, Akira reunites with Hinako,...

Following the success of the first “Tokyo Ghoul,” a new chapter of the live-action adaptation of the celebrated manga was sure to follow, resulting in this sequel arriving two years later. With Masataka Kubota reprising his role as half-human/half-ghoul Ken Kaneki and new directors Kazuhiko Hiramaki and Takuya Kawasaki on-board, Funimation is proud to present a special three-day theatrical release across North America and Canada of this new effort.
Still adjusting to his destiny, half-human/half-ghoul Ken Kaneki (Matsukata Kubota) tries to balance his personal life as a high-school student and his private one feeding on the flesh of humans. Trying to get his mind on track with fellow ghoul Tôka Kirshima (Maika Yamamoto) who’s training him to realize his new powers, they run into the main fear of ghouls being that the humans they need to feed on will not be able to see their human sides...

The good folks over at RoboJapan are reporting that the Japanese "tokusatsu" (fantasy based superheroes and such) TV series Garo will be getting the big screen treatment in 3-D, and to boot, the series included mature content so we can expect this not to be some kiddie crap. Kenta Amemiya (Zeiram) will direct with Makoto Yokoyama as action director with Tohokushinsha producing.
A synopsis of the tv series:
Garo focuses on the life of Kouga Saejima, who assumed the title of Makai Knight to protect humanity against dark demonic manifestations called "Horrors." In his quest to purge them, he encounters a young girl named Kaoru whom he saved from a Horror, but was stained with its demonic blood. As a rule, those that been stained by the blood of a Horror shall be cut down, or else they will die painfully in approximately 100 days. Kouga had mercy upon her and...
