James Corden Delivers A Heartfelt George Michael TributeOne Piece Film: Gold will be hitting the USA and Canada from Jan. 10 to 17 courtesy of Funimation Films and Toei Animation (makers of fine anime fare such as Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball Super, Sailor Moon ). Take a look at the video above for a worldwide exclusive first-look clip directly from Funimation, showcasing One Piece Film: Gold ’s magnificent setting of the Gran Tesoro.One Piece Film: Gold is Part One of a new film series based on One Piece , the best-selling manga series of all-time. One Piece was also adapted into a television anime with over 760 episodes. As of August 2016, the original manga series has printed more than 380 million copies worldwide.If you’re intimidated by all those volumes of manga and episodes of anime: don’t be. One Piece Film: Gold is a standalone movie that makes an effort to give the viewer all the info they’ll need to enjoy the show, so you won’t need to be a One Piece expert to enjoy the movie.

Here’s a summary of the film (via a press release):“The glittering Gran Tesoro, a city of entertainment beyond the laws of the government, is a sanctuary for the world's most infamous pirates, Marines, and filthy rich millionaires. cath kidston blue rosali fabricDrawn by dreams of hitting the jackpot, Captain Luffy and his crew sail straight for the gold. curtains and drapes dunelmBut behind the gilded curtains lies a powerful king whose deep pockets and deeper ambitions spell disaster for the Straw Hats and the New World alike.”curtain rods and brackets prices in chennaiIn our review of One Piece Film: Gold, we praised the movie’s animation, plot twists and continuity with the series, stating:“Overall, One Piece Film: Gold is a delight for One Piece fans everywhere. dunelm blackout bedroom curtains

If you’re a fan, you’ll become a fan of this movie. If you are not familiar with the franchise, you can still enjoy the movie but a lot of the character cameos and lore may be lost on you. But to its credit, Gold does do a good job of giving a baseline introduction to each of the main players. While this may not be productive in terms of getting newcomers up to speed, it does take away any forced dialogue that may punish anyone who has followed the long history of the series.”One Piece Film: Gold will enjoy a limited theatrical release in North America from Jan. 10 to 17. Tickets are available on Fandango here or via the official movie website here.Will you be enjoying an adventure to Gran Tesoro? Feel free to let us know in the comments section below.I don’t watch many horror films. Lifelong victim of an overactive and slightly morbid imagination, I regularly envisage disasters, natural or otherwise, that might befall me, without requiring the added stimulus of cinema. As a child, the very idea of Nightmare On Elm Street – the poster for which leered out from the window of every suburban video store – was enough to give me actual nightmares.

So forgive me, horror aficionados, if I miss the genre references in David Robert Mitchell’s It Follows, a new and thoroughly creepy American horror film. I hear that It Follows has a lot in common with John Carpenter’s 1978 cult classic Halloween, but I wouldn’t know – I’m way too scared to watch Halloween. I don’t cope well with violence onscreen, and especially not with the kind of stylised misogyny that seems (and perhaps, as a mere dabbler in the genre, I am being unfair) the natural province of the horror film. I was relieved, then, dare I say impressed, to discover that It Follows is unnerving without being bloody, and more than this, that it cleverly inverts the sexual politics on which so much popular culture, most especially the horror film, often depends. The protagonist of It Follows is Jay (Maika Monroe), a teenage girl who is infected with a kind of supernatural curse after having sex with her boyfriend Hugh (Jake Weary). Punishment for the sexually active female is a tired (and tiresome) trope, but we are given to understand that the curse falls randomly, without moral judgement.

In some ways, It Follows reminds me of Todd Haynes’ brilliant 1995 film Safe, with Julianne Moore, in which a woman is plagued by an illness she can neither explain nor overcome. It Follows and Safe are cinematic responses to a world in which HIV/AIDS is ever-present, though neither film is strictly reducible to an AIDS metaphor. It Follows is also a rare mainstream film in which sex itself is allowed its complexity. Sex is both pleasurable and frightening, and, by the mechanics of the plot, both a choice and an obligation. If Jay is killed, the curse will move back down the line of infection, murdering everyone else; to rid herself of the curse Jay has to pass it on through an act of consensual sex with somebody else – or so she’s told by Hugh. (Here, the parallel with HIV/AIDS breaks down: the aim of safe sex in the age of AIDS isn’t circulation, but containment.) The shape-shifting demon that follows Jay moves like a zombie – dressed in white, it only exerts itself once it is within arm’s reach of a victim.

It’s hard to explain how the sight of someone walking very slowly in a straight line could possibly be frightening, but context is everything when it comes to being scared, and It Follows wrings maximum chills out of a very simple visual idea. Eager to help out with the consensual sex is Jay’s childhood friend Paul (Keir Gilchrist), a shy, skinny boy who works at the local ice cream parlour with Jay’s younger sister, Kelly (Lili Sepe). Completing the neighbourhood gang is bespectacled Yara (Olivia Luccardi), who reads Dostoevsky’s The Idiot on a pink e-reader shaped like a compact mirror. It Follows is set in the suburbs of Detroit, and cinematographer Mike Gioulakis has a wonderful eye for the eeriness of suburbia: the monotonous and nearly empty streets, the glow of halogen lamps through bedroom curtains. Effective use is also made of the contrast between the suburbs and the desolate, crumbling city: the film’s climactic scene is set within the city limits, at a public swimming pool, and a pointed conversation between the characters immediately beforehand made me wonder if the metaphor of contagion that underpins the film might be racial, rather than sexual.
