I’ve seen many of Christopher Nolan’s films and have gained a huge understanding for his work. His love for the anti-hero is obvious, and his desire for dark stories has been evident from the outset. He’s a smart filmmaker who understands the medium and knows how to use it to the advantage of his stories. With that said, here are my top five Christopher Nolan films…
5. Batman Begins (2005)
I’ve never been a fan of any of the Batman TV series or movie franchises because I found it cheesy and lacking depth but after watching this film in preparation for The Dark Knight, I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it! Nolan did a great job with character development and the cinematography was awesome.

4. The Dark Knight (2008)
The Dark Knight is probably considered the greatest superhero movie of all-time by many people and without looking too deep I’d say I am among the many. The Dark Knight is sheer entertainment and I can’t get over how great Heath Ledger was as The Joker.

3. Inception (2010)
I watched Inception yesterday and I was thoroughly impressed. I couldn’t stop replaying every part of the movie in my head to try and look for more clues to figure out the puzzle. Definitely a movie that needs to be re-watched because Nolan is a genius when it comes to hiding answers in the little details.

2. The Prestige (2006)
Out of all of Nolan’s films, watching The Prestige offered probably the biggest surprise for me. I’m a fan big of magic and illusions so watching a film that surrounded this theme was a great delight!

1. Memento (2000)
Memento was Nolan’s first breakout film, and, in my opinion, still his best. I’ve watched this film maybe a dozen times and I’m never disappointed. Talk about getting mind-fked, this is nothing but Nolan’s best at messing with your head.

If you’ve never seen an episode of Ranma ½, then you’re definitely missing out! This is one of the cutest and dearest series you will ever watch. They don’t make manga series like they use to and Ranma ½ is one of my favorites! The story revolves around a 16-year old boy named Ranma Saotome who was trained from early childhood in martial arts. As a result of an accident during a training journey in China, he is cursed to turn into a girl when splashed with cold water, and hot water will change him back into a boy.
FYI, this series has nudity and sexual content but you must keep in mind that Japanese view nudity in a different, less severe way, than the West. If you find nudity offensive then you best stick to Hello Kitty. Aside from that, Ranma ½ has tons and tons of hilarious moments. Trust me, it’s definitely worth watching! Humorous, heartwarming and all around amazing.

The complete Daria series has finally been released to DVD! A whole generation will be able to go back to a time when the world felt smarter in many ways — when teenagers were the hope of the future rather than oversexed, immature, corporate packaged fad followers.
Daria, a spin-off series of Beavis and Butt-Head which aired on MTV nationwide from 1997 to 2002, is about decadence of 90s teen culture and the few, the proud, who quietly and apathetically defied it. The show gathered somewhat of a cult following before disappearing altogether.
Music licensing issues has postponed the release of this series to DVD, time and again for the better part of a decade. So the show creator and producers have changed 99% of the original music due to licensing costs of the music bites which would have made it impossible to release the collection.
The set includes all five seasons, two movies “Is It Fall Yet?” and “Is It College Yet?”, and a number of extras including a cast and crew interview featurette.
