Howl's Moving Castle - Hayao Miyazaki - Review
A curse that turns a hat shop girl into a 90-year-old woman, a four-legged fortress, a dashing wizard and a hopping scarecrow called Turnip Head: the new film by anime master Hayao Miyazaki ("Spirited Away") is dazzlingly imaginative, carefully observed, and suffused with a rare generosity of spirit.

Ghost in the Shell 2 - Review
Nine years after his cyborg cops set new standards for eye candy anime with a philosophical bend, Mamoru Oshii continues the story of Major Motoko and commander Bateau. "Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence" offers more jaw-dropping animation and mind-boggling Descartes-quotes.

Blood
Saya, the heroine of a new anime feature, is killing vampires the old fashioned way. Hiroyuki Kitakubo's "Blood" is as short and gory as the animation is stunning.

Shadow Skill
This anime action-adventure now out on DVD offers impressive fight sequences but not much else. It feels a bit like looking over someone else's shoulder at the arcade.
