Remnants & Relics. Buttonhole *Special* Feature

Welcome dear reader to Remnants & Relics, the first in an ongoing series of features looking back at various aspects of yesterday's video games. This series is one that I'd hoped to kick off many months ago, but I just haven't had the time to do it justice, until now. So consider this your opportunity to put on your best pair or rose-tinted glasses, open up a luke-warm can of clichés and prepare to hop aboard the way-back-machine.... It came from beyond two dimensions! -A Look Back at Isometric Gaming-

ACMI Day Tripper

Welcome Buttonhole readers to another feature that is so choc-full of goodness that I've divided it into several sections. The top half is about the Indy video games showcased at ACMI. The bottom half is about the Pixar exhibit. It's ridiculously long and all terribly interesting to read, so you may as well read it in two halves, or just the parts that interest you. After reading about the ACMI exhibits on their website and getting more than a little excited, I decided to make the perilous trek to inner Melbourne. With time on my side and money stuffed in my pocket I ventured forth to the train station. Once on board I passed the time by staring out the window, reading a volume of Dark Horse's Concrete and snacking on tasty fruit. Arriving at Flinders St, I wandered around until inevitably finding my way out of the rat-maze like station.

Classic Comic-book Review. Kraven's Last Hunt

"Here lies Spider-Man - Slain by the Hunter" So reads the grave of one of histories greatest superheros. "But he's not dead, is he? What happened to everyone's favourite web-slinger? Spidey seems to be alive and well now, what with his three movie deal and a string of monthly Marvel comic-book titles to his name, so why was he buried six feet under? The year is 1987. The company is Marvel. The character is Sergei Kravinov also known as 'Kraven the Hunter.' Back in the 60's Stan and Steve (Lee and Ditko, respectively) churned out a heap of cool villains for the title "Amazing Spider-Man." Doctor Octopus, The Cham

The day we had all be waiting for, as dedicated Star Wars geeks, was finally upon us. The opening of the final Star Wars movie of all time - Episode III Revenge of the Sith. Man what a movie. Talk about doing things in reverse. If you're after a happy ending, you are out of luck. This movie is very reminisent of Empire Strikes Back in its mood and vibe - and the whole leaving you hanging at the end thing. However, it was very powerful and well written. I think that is the most impressive thing about this movie; how George Lucas was able to piece the whole saga together. Very well done! It goes without saying that it looked and sounded sensational - that is a given these days. The way in which we saw Anakin Skywalker transform into Vader mentally and phsyically was impressive....most impressive! Anyway this is not a review, just my little take on our experience last night at the 12:01 am 19th May opening premiere. It was a lot of fun. Hope you enjoy our happy snaps.

Obi Wan Kenobi and Lord Vader never seemed so cute before

I see your schwartz is as big as mine

Wanna be Han Solo, Luke Skywalker cross Michael jackson and some other guy

Ok Han Solo right... Michael Jackson...sure, What the!, it's all gone wrong!

Leia the Hussy hanging out with imperial troopers

That Leia is such a Hussy- hangin out with Imperial Troopers - and lookout there's an imperial nerd behind you!

Let's just say the rush for tickets ended in tears, not to mention a few stray limbs.

Obi Wan Kenobi teaches Lickass a lesson in the force

Lickass copes the wrath of a young Padiwan - mind you he was asking for it.

The sixth installment in the series - Attack of the Spoons

The dark side of the force - Vader - Storm Trooper

The Imperial Forces waiting patiently to take over the galaxy or tickets to a movie...either one

I highly recommended Episode III Revenge of the Sith to all Star Wars fans. If, like me the previous 2 left you unfullfilled and wanting, this should set the record straight. Mind you - I need to go and watch the first trilogy again. It all feels so incomplete! That's probably coz it is.

More to come soon including some video of the opening night!

Only Yesterday. Anime Review

The problem with having favourite films is that every time I watch another Studio Ghibli film it becomes my new favourite. It kind of renders the word 'favourite' meaningless when every Studio Ghibli film takes my breath away. Still, I can't complain about being thoroughly entertained by this whimsical and insightful film, "Only Yesterday". This gem was directed by Isao Takahata, well known for his anime film Grave of the Fireflies. Although Only Yesterday is a light hearted film that ambles along at a leisurely pace, it still manages to explore themes such as love, work, family relationship struggles, following your dreams and country versus city living. In the film, the main character Taeko decides to take a working vacation in the country, getting away from her office bound job and unexpectedly starts t

Speed Grapher V1. Anime Review

Well, "I don't like it" was my initial feeling when viewing this Anime for the first time. Subsequent viewings haven't changed my views a great deal. Nothing really stands out as being absolute shit but it seems that this series tries too hard. It's almost like they were more interested in creating something 'edgy' and confronting but sadly forgot to include an even remotely palatable story. The hero of this particular piece is a bloke called Tatsumi Saiga. Tatsumi is a photographer and a veteran war journalist for whom taking photos has become somewhat of a fetish. Although he seems to have become jaded - nothing is worth wasting his film on - that is, at least until he stumbles across an exclusive club for the mega rich
