Optimum Home Entertainment have just released a special Limited Deluxe Edition (+ DVD copy) of Studio Ghibli’s most recent masterpiece, Ponyo, on Blu-ray. I reviewed the film for AMO when it was originally in the cinema, so I wasn’t planning to review the home release when it arrived. However, once I got my hands on this Limited Deluxe Edition I knew I would have to share my thoughts on this delightful set with as many people as I possibly could!

A few months ago I was lucky enough to be contacted by a Senior Press Officer from Headline, who offered me a review copy of a new anthology of short stories complied and edited by bestselling authors Neil Gaiman and Al Sarrantonio. Of course, I jumped at the opportunity, I mean who wouldn’t?! However, it was always at the back of my mind that reviewing a collection of stories featuring 27 different authors would be a huge undertaking as a reviewer. Luckily, these guys (and gals) have made my job rather easy.

WIlson T. King may not be an artist that large amounts of music followers, specifically guitar fans, have heard of quite yet. At least, not loudly enough for my liking. But he’s getting there and I think that is all set to change. Coming from a background of being the chief writer and producer in numerous English indie bands, King has played the Blues for most of his life. His mission to share this often neglected genre with us in his debut album is a noble one. Luckily, he also has the guitar skills to see this vision through. Whether you are a fan of Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck or Joe Bonamassa, you won’t want to miss Follow Your First Mind.

The Book Of Grickle is a beautiful hardcover treasure trove of material collected from the various ‘Grickle’ works of Graham Annable, professional cartoonist, animator and illustrator. Mr Annable was first brought to my attention via his video game work at Telltale Games and LucasArts, yet I am proud to say that I have finally exposed myself to his more personal projects and creations as of late.
