Review: Bleach Those Memories of Nobody

Hey guys! I figured let's put up another review from a past event I attended Bleach the Movie: Memories of Nobody premiere in June 2008. Enjoy!

~~~

What can I say about the movie, Bleach the Movie: Memories of NoBody?

Before I start talking about the negative aspects, let me tell you the positive aspects of the movie. The people of Bleach: Memories of Nobody made a smart decision of introducing the basic characters and voice actors of the movie as a behind the scenes feature BEFORE the movie began, which is helpful to those, like myself, who have little knowledge of the animation series.

Review: The Sweetness of Apple with little Bruises

Hey Guys! Posting up an old review of mine in regards to the Live Action Death Note movie from May 2008, when it premiered nation wide. Enjoy!

~~~

It was 7 o’clock pm and roughly forty-two people were in the Union Square theater showing room talking and chowing down on nachos, while waiting for Death Note the live action movie to begin at 7:30pm. Being observant of my surroundings the audience was diverse like the city of New York: age group-kids, accompanied by adults, to adults probably in their 40's; attire- casual to business suit; ethnicity- diverse as the Big Apple.
