Samurai Cop Review [Minor Spoilers]
Level of insanity from 1 to 10? This one goes to 11. When you think crazy B action movies, you think of the 80's and 90's, ninjas, big muscles, big guns, ditzy female characters, bad plot, and shoddy technical work. The 1991 film Samurai Cop captures every one of these aspects in spades; whether it's intentional or not is up for debate.

Top 5 British Gangsters
These are all just my opinion. 5) Bullet Tooth Tony (Snatch) Alright, Tony is an extension of the underrated henchmen segment as well but couldn't put him on that list because of how he ends up biting the bullet, pun completely intended. Played to perfection by hard man Vinnie Jones and with an awesome origin story explaining his nickname. He's probably the suavest and most menacing looking I've seen in a British gangster film and efficient. Like Doug the heads girls said, "He'll find you Moses and a burning bush if you pay him to." If I want a total badass to get the job done in London I'd take Bullet tooth Tony any day over Michael Canes Jack Carter.

7 Obscure Anime
These shows have less than 50,000 views on MyAnimeList, which, in a world where shows that people are talking about generally boast at least 300,000 views, makes them obscure. They’re all good shows though, and even if some of them are a little vintage, they deserve more attention than they’ve got. What follows is a list of ten really good shows for you to try. They all have an average rating of 7 or higher, meaning that most people who watched them liked them, and they’re diverse in terms of genre and who they’re aimed at.

A Review of 'Clarissa' by Samuel Richardson
At around 1,431 pages, Clarissa or The History of a Young Lady beats out Les Miserables by Victor Hugo (826 pages), Bleak House by Charles Dickens (813 pages) and War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy (955 pages) for the title of longest book I have ever read. Such a tome seems like an overwhelming task to get through but fortunately they are often divided up into a number of sections, each a mini book in themselves. How I got through War and Peace was that I would read a section and then take a break for a few week and repeat until the book was finished. I am going to do the same for Clarissa.

When Good and Bad Film Making Ends... Mediocrity Begins
“What are you afraid of?” Fear is a huge part of our lives, it shapes us into the people that we become. From heights to spiders to crowds and darkness, it is the age old emotion that is unique for each person. Fear is built into our psyche. It forms over the centuries, growing with each new experience. It is our response to danger, giving us that rush of adrenaline to either flee or fight. The horror genre is described as films that give us the fear of the unknown. This “unknown” can include everything that anyone has ever thought of. It’s not hard to describe our fears, but it’s hard to describe why do we fear one thing over another?

7 Great Magical Girl Shows
Magical girl is one of the more popular genres of anime. Aimed primarily at a young, female audience, almost every show is about teenage girls saving the world. With the popularity of male-led superheroes in the west, like the Avengers or Justice League, what the world needs more of is groups of young women who could easily beat those groups in a fight.
