AZUMANGA DAIOH: RIVALS (VOLUME 3) (reviewed by Joel Pearce, overall
score 91/100):
"This show rocks. Many of the jokes and quirks of the characters have
been used dozens of times, but just like the best gags on Calvin and
Hobbes, they get better over time because the characters feel like
close friends."

BEFORE STONEWALL (reviewed by Brett Cullum, overall score 94/100):
"If you are a member of the gay/lesbian/bisexual/transgender community,
this is mandatory viewing. If you're not, maybe you should consider it
mandatory as well."

BELLY DANCE PARTY (reviewed by Amanda DeWees, overall score 88/100):
"Belly Dance Party is a lot of fun, and it's the kind of program that
will reward practice but will still look good on the enthusiastic
beginner."

BIRTH (reviewed by Mitchell Hattaway, overall score 45/100):
"The next time someone tells you birth is a painful experience, pay
attention. Even with a brief running time, this film kept me thinking of
a thousand things I'd have rather been doing."

DOGGY POO (reviewed by Bryan Byun, overall score 90/100):
"Like poop on the sole of your shoe, Doggy Poo stays with you for a
long time."

EXCEL SAGA: IMPERFECT COLLECTION (reviewed by Joel Pearce, overall
score 79/100):
"This series has some of the best sight gags and pop culture references
I have ever seen, and there is something delightfully wacky about the
whole thing. Never for a minute are we sure where the production team
will take us next, and it can be quite a bit of fun finding out, at
least when it's one of the better episodes."

FAITHFUL (reviewed by Brett Cullum, overall score 75/100):
"Chazz Palminteri plays an Italian mobster well, and why not? He wrote
the script and made sure he has all the best lines."

MALICE@DOLL (reviewed by Brett Cullum, overall score 86/100):
"Wild visuals and a pretty unusual story make Malice@Doll a worthy
experience. It's mechanical prostitutes trapped in a surreal biotech
nightmare, Valley of the Dolls put in a blender with Blade Runner."

POPULAR MECHANICS FOR KIDS: RADICAL ROCKETS AND OTHER COOL CRUISING
MACHINES (reviewed by Lacey Worrell, overall score 75/100):
"The sheer variety of machines featured in each episode is sure to
delight kids, especially the segment on monster trucks. This DVD refuses
to preach -- instead it shows how science can be fun and interesting and
how it relates to the everyday world around us."

RAHXEPHON: THE MOTION PICTURE (reviewed by Mitchell Hattaway, overall
score 45/100):
"I will admit the animation itself is nice, which is essentially my way
of damning the film with faint praise."

TEENAGE CATGIRLS IN HEAT (reviewed by Brett Cullum, overall score
85/100):
"It's a brief and fun midnight movie that has spirit and sass to spare.
It will never join the ranks of cat classics like Val Lewton'sCat
People, but it certainly has more fun than Halle Berry prancing around
as Catwoman."
