Oricon has recently conducted a survey, consisting of 900 volunteers to list their top 10 anime films of all time and not surprisingly most of the anime films in the top ten list were big hit in cinema around the globe as well. My favorite in the top ten would have to be between Detective Conan Film Series and Spirited Away, but I would like to see Naruto in there as well. Anyway what is your favorite anime of all time?
Batman: Gotham Knight is a collection of six short anime films similar to the Animatrix, as both are collections of short films of Japanese origin. The films were made by six great anime directors and each short segments are written by Josh Olson, David Goyer, Brian Azzarello, Greg Rucka, Jordan Goldberg and Alan Burnett. The six short films all star Kevin Conroy and will be released July 8.
Oscar-nominated French animation Persepolis, which is based on Marjane Satrapi’s graphic novel, it tells a poignant story of Marjane, a young Iranian girl growing up during the Islamic Revolution.
Persepolis is a wonderfully surreal coming-of-age story that mixes Girrl Power with a startling political awareness not normally seen on an animated movie. Watch out for it on April 25, when it will be released in the UK.
April 8, 1953 saw Man in the Dark released at the Globe Theater in New York City, it was the first 3D movie made by a major Hollywood Studio, only 2 days before House of Was was screened. However, the first ever 3D film released was the Power of Love in 1922, but it wasn’t made by a Hollywood Studio.
Ok, the release of Indiana Jones “Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” is just around the corner. To commemorate the new movie, Topps has commissioned the design of new Indiana Jones Heritage trading cards. These includes sketch cards, original photos from the movies, autographed photos.
SpikeTv came up with this brilliant marketing idea. They installed fake Star Wars “light sabers” on bus shelters where the normal ads would usually go, with the promo heading “use only in case of Sith.”
A very accurate remake of Tron. It seems to be made entirely from cardboards with a few camera tricks thrown in. Enjoy the 2 minutes of the entire light cycle battle part of the movie. Awesome, very cool indeed.

This photo was taken on the set for 20th Century Fox’s live action of DragonBall. The film is due for release in movie theaters on April 3rd 2009. I doubt whether the movie will be any good, but we’ll have to wait and see.
It seems like the Star Wars campaign against Weinstein Co’s is gaining ground as they were picked up by mainstream press, such as, New York Post, the Daily Telegraph, Vanity Fair, and on thousands of websites.
