Blu-ray Review: Ponyo (Gake no ue no Ponyo)

Release Date: March 2, 2010

Also available on DVD, DVD/Blu-ray Combo, and DVD/Plush Toy

Ponyo (Gake no ue no Ponyo) is one of the more simplistic and straightforward Hayao Miyazaki films admirers of his films will see. Ponyo lacks the complexity of Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke, and is more akin to his efforts in My Neighbor Totoro. Ponyo is a film geared toward children and as such will appeal to them more readily than to teenagers and adults. Though the story is less complex than his other efforts, the animation is just as complex as in Miyazaki’s other films with the same attention to detail. Of particular note is the scene where a humanized Ponyo (Noah Cyrus) is running along the side of the road  atop gigantic water fish, a precise example of a genius imagination American animation lacks.

TV Review: Spartacus: Blood and Sand: Season 1, Ep. 9: Whore

Episode 9 of Spartacus: Blood and Sand, entitled Whore, has a great ending on two counts: visually and dramatically. The side stories are being given more weight in the series and Lucretia (Lucy Lawless) finally gets satisfaction over Ilithyia (Viva Bianca) for all of her constant slights and condescension.
