 "What if Superman and Wonder Woman got married and had a child? "Project A-ko answers that question with comedic style. A-ko (Eiko) is the daughter of Clark and Diana. This is not publicised in the movie you have to read the hints. Like her father reading the Daily Planet, her mother wearing a red, white and blue apron while ironing a red cape. Eiko and C-ko (Shiiko) are best friends ever since pre-school. On their first day to Graviton High, a girls school, Shiiko comes to collect Eiko who is running late. To make it on time Eiko makes a mad dash up the hill to the school running through people's yards and houses and runs over D, a manly looking alien woman, while Shiiko is dragged along behind laughing all the way.

 "Miyazaki does a wonderful job retelling the story of "Howl's Moving Castle." Though I have only watched it once, it is one that I can find myself watching over and over again. I remembered reading a book once long ago that was a sequel to this, but I don't remember the name of it. I did find and read Howl though after watching the movie. The characters of Howl and the old Sophie are translated well, but it's a pity that we didn't get to see more of Sophie's sisters, which are seen more in the book, and Sophie's own "magical talent." Miyazaki is much more sypathetic to the Witch of the Waste too. Plus in the book it is revealed where the black spot on the door really leads to and why Sophie and his apprentice are not allowed to enter it. I loved the movie, I loved the book, if you loved the movie you should read the book as well. " [More]
