| Comments | Speculative fiction anime series set in a future where the majority of crime in Japan is solved using aggrigated data from network connected devices – but human detectives are sometimes needed when cases are too complicated or too sensitive to solve by just tapping the electronic panopticon. | ||||||||

Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “Un-Go is on my Anime watchlist. As far as the rest goes – I’m going for the Hammer films version of Hound of the Baskervilles. Nothing really grabs me on the 4K front.” Blaine says, “if you like streaming instead of owning physical media, it’s a good time to grab Galaxy Quest.”
Apart from Galaxy Quest and A Fistful of Dollars, this week has a number of interesting titles:
Revolutionary Road might only have been made because of the success of Mad Men, but this is an excellent 2008 adaptation of Richard Yates’ 1961 literary novel. Set in the 50s, the novel proved more prescient of the future than any of the period’s SF. Kate Winslet and Leo DiCaprio’s best film as a couple.
sex, lies, and videotape won a tonne of awards in 89/90 and deserved them.
American Werewolf in London is worth seeing, even if its groundbreaking effects seem a little dated now. It had significant influence on pop culture and the horror genre… This is Thriller, Thriller…
John Huston’s adaptation of Moby Dick with Gregory Peck is a bit stilted in places and it can’t really capture the experience of the novel, but it’s a watchable take, with authentic-looking locals as extras in the early scenes.
Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey‘s only saleable point appears to have been taking advantage of the characters falling into public domain. Reviews from critics and audiences alike have been, for the most part, savage. But it’s hard not to be curious.
Bizarrely, Blood and Honey was also announced as a shared universe.

A League of Their Own is probably my favorite sports movie (and I usually loathe sports movies)
