The Live-Action My Hero Academia Movie Could Buck The Most Troubling Trend In Adapting Anime Stories
Adapting anime into live-action has always been a hard venture to undergo. Not only are some stories just better suited for the medium of animation, but many well-known mangas and animes are stories whose inspirations cannot be fully appreciated outside of a Japanese context. When given an American or otherwise Western makeover, the impact of these stories is often drastically reduced, resulting in less-than-faithful adaptations. We've seen this with various different Western live-action adaptations, from the hollowness of "Death Note" to the insensitivity of "Ghost in the Shell."
When it was announced back in 2018 that Legendary Entertainment had acquired the rights to the popular "My Hero Academia" franchise for a new live-action film, many fans were understandably worried. Would Izuku Midoriya, the franchise's main character, turn into Ian Michaels or something similar for this new film? Would U.A. High School be relocated to California and be populated by mostly white people?...

Two Witches, the first feature from Pierre Tsigaridis features a pair of somewhat connected tales of modern day witchcraft. These aren’t the witches of Hocus Pocus or Sabrina though, these are the evil, baby eating witches of legend and of films like Suspiria. Something the brief prologue makes quite clear.
The first of Two Witches’ chapters “The Boogeywoman” begins with the pregnant Sarah out to dinner with her partner Simon (Ian Michaels; Easy Targets) when she sees a white eyed old crone staring at her through the restaurant window. She begins having hallucinations and experiencing strange phenomena which she blames on the woman.
Simon, who is skeptical and blames it on hormones, takes her to see his friend Dustin.and his girlfriend Melissa (Dina...

Happy October, witches!!!!! Time for stories of ghosts, ghouls, creepy crawlies, and scary women who have made pacts with the devil. To celebrate, Arrow Films is releasing the first feature from writer-director Pierre Tsigaridis - Two Witches.
The film is a pair of loosely connected stories - sort of a mini-anthology. The connecting tissue is the passing of dark powers from one aging woman to her young granddaughter. The older woman governs the events of the first story, while the younger witch takes the mantle and starts wreaking havoc in the second.
The film opens with a young couple trying to enjoy a night out. Sarah (Belle Adams) has recently discovered that she is pregnant. Her partner Simon (Ian Michaels), though enthused, is not the most sensitive person in the world, and honestly, is kind of more than any pregnant woman should have to deal with. Not long into the meal,...
