InuYasha the Movie: The Castle Beyond the Looking Glass

  • Title: Inuyasha 2
  • IMDb: link

Inuyasha is still one of my favorite series.  When I mentioned it to a fellow anime-buff, they told me I must watch the subbed versions, not the Adult Swim version.  Way better in his opinion, so I must take that advice and re-watch the entire series.

Sleuth (Redux)

“I heard a rumor you wanted to marry my wife.”

In 1972 Michael Caine starred as Milo Tindle, a young man forced into a deadly game of wits when he meets his lover’s husband (Laurence Olivier).  Sleuth remains a favorite of many fans of Caine, and ranks among IMDb’s top 250 films.  This remake does not.

Last year director Kenneth Branagh decided to remake the film enlisting Caine to play the older role this time and casting Jude Law as the new Milo.  The result is a curiosity and although it may be of interest to film students or as a comparison to the original, there’s little to recommend this version on its own merits.
