Ciocci deeply thinks about Marcos death that he might he might be quitting. Will Ciocci be able to over come his friends death? While the first film didn't have that much dept. This one did, giving a little more depth in character and story. Rating: ☆☆☆              Rent it

Nasu: Summer in Andalusia

Alternate Name: 茄子 アンダルシアの夏 (Nasu: Andarushia no Natsu) Director: Kitaro Kosaka Year: 2003 Trailer: A professional cyclist, Pepe Benengeli, competes in Vuelta a España race in his hometown of Iberian of Andalusia. Pepe's former girlfriend, Carmen being wed to his elder brother, Angel, the same day as the race. Will the sponcer of Pepe win the Vuelta a España race? The only problem with this film is short and wish they could've been able flesh out the story. There isn't any big challenge for the protaganist which makes the film a little flat. Rating: ☆☆☆              Rent it

Bodacious Space Pirates The Movie: Abyss of Hyperspace

Alternate Name: モーレツ宇宙海賊 ABYSS OF HYPERSPACE 亜空の深淵                                                                 (Moretsu Pirates: Abyss of Hyperspace Aku no Shinen) Director: Tatsuo Sato Year: 2014 Trailer: A third year student at the Hakuho Girls' Academy, Marika Katou, is a busy girl. As a space pirate Marika juggles her studies, space yacht club activites and works a part time job at Cafe Lamp. Aboard her ship Bentenmaru, Marika and her crew recived a job request to rob high class passenger ship to discover that Kanata Mugen posseses a "galaxy pass". Will Marika be able to unfold the secret of Kanata's "galaxy pass"? To me this film didn't have enough to hold my attention due to slow story pacing. Also the character design for Marika Katou reminds me of Athena Cykes from Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Dual Destinies. Rating: ☆☆☆             Rent it

Arion

Alternate Name: アリオン (Arion) Director: Yoshikazu Yasuhiko Year: 1986 Trailer: At a young age, Arion was tricked by Hades saying that he was his uncle to his mother. Convincing Arion that there's a herb to cure his mothers sight, but instead of finding the herb he is kidnapped to the underworld to be trained to become a warrior to defeat gods. Will Arion be able to escape Hades grasp or will he be in the underworld forever? If you thought that all the Greek gods, where on the good team except for Hades. This film kind of change that up a bit. Rating: ☆☆ Skip It
