Upgrade


Google Car: HAL 9000.


The Six Million Dollar Man: A boy's best friend is his mother.


Crutches: Throw them away.


He's got a knife: We've got a knife, too.


Bot on Bot violence: check.


Drone Fu, Google Car Fu, Implant Fu, Blade Runner Fu, Baby Hitler Fu: check.


Cross, double cross, double-double cross. Would have been better as a dark comedy, but that train has left the station. Worth checking out, but OK to wait for TV.

Tokyo Ghoul Special Preview Alert! Bruce Willis has remade Death Wish! Perfect for our times! Guns! Vigilantes! Live action: somehow I thought anime. Cute girl cannibal: stone cold killer. Otaku: not just for breakfast anymore. Human/Ghoul transplants: whoops! Pink eye: contagious. Cops: fashion icons. Cops: pick on little girls. Tentacle porn: check. Tentacle fu: check. Nerd fu: check. Ghoul on Ghoul violence: check. (At least I think it was violence -- it may just have been rough sex.) Karate Kid: check. Mr. Miyagi: played by ghoul alpha female. Shimizu Fumika: in her greatest role (so far... (...or at least since Hentai Kamen)). There's a moral at the end of the flick, but I lost it in translation. I don't know what possessed me to see this movie, but it was the most fun I've had since the 1st Night of the Living Dead. By all means check it out.
