Beautiful, imaginative, a bit disjointed at times, spectacular, and a pretty good love story all rolled into one. Sometimes life doesn't hand you what you want, and we retreat into our dreamscapes. What happens when those dreamscapes take over our real lives? Stephane has that problem. What worsens things is when he meets his soulmate, appropriately named Stephanie. Stephane has a playmate to bounce ideas off, only if she did not know that his apartment is directly across from hers. Even worse is that Stephane is living in his mother's apartment, the "bitch of a landlord" he overheard Stephanie and her friend, Zoe, say. The special effects are not as refined as Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, yet, they aren't meant to be that way. They are meant to have a folksy, Third-World, high school charm of Napolean Dynamite. Definitely worth a gander.

I'll start by saying that maybe it's too simplistic to say that "Pet Shop of Horrors" is an anime form of "The Twilight Zone." They are different shows. Yet, they both thinly disguise parables of morality in the horror/sci-fi genre. However, each episode of "Pet Shop of Horrors" preys upon a given deadly sin of a character from the entrancingly effeminate and mysterious Count D who gives the buyer exactly what he or she wants. The lust in their soul around the pet he or she receives grows until the owner dies from exhaustion, and the police find a seemingly innocent pet waiting for attention.

Confused? Don't be. It's all very simple. And well worth the time to investigate how awesome the anime is and the stories are, as well as how beautiful and lavish the animation is.

When I first saw 'Shaun of the Dead,' I wasn't sure what I was watching. It was recommended to me by a professor who specifically wanted me to watch it because she knew that I'd like it for the British humor, and she wanted someone to talk to about it.

'Shaun of the Dead' is a film that can be viewed in many different ways. It can be viewed as a British screwball romantic comedy with zombies, or it can be viewed as a zombie movie style parody with in-jokes and references for zombie fans. It can also be viewed as a clear cut zombie movie with jokes. Sharp writing with clever dialogue make 'Shaun of the Dead' the Austin Powers of zombie movies. I bought it on DVD with the 2004 version of 'Dawn of the Dead' and I've seen 'Shaun of the Dead three or four times already, and 'Dawn of the Dead' lays on my couch gathering dust. Very Funny, witty, cleverly satiric with Gen-X references, eery and romantic all come to mind when describing 'Shaun of the Dead.'
