THIS IS SOUTH PARK!!, I mean sparta...

+ Awesome but...
+ This movie has great action and a even greater heart!

Bought the movie and was still greatly entertained, watched the South Park episode that mocks this film and its innovative approach on directing, and now can't take it as seriously. On that note if you ...

It's hard to review "Usagi Yojimbo" books, which is why I've never done one before, even though I've read nearly all of the series. It's just because Stan Sakai produces some of the most consistently entertaining and satisfying reads in the comic book marketplace. So you can rave about one book, ...
