The Forgotten Anime Classic That Inspired Fullmetal Alchemist “Fullmetal Alchemist” is one of my favorite anime series ever. The series of two brothers searching for the Philosopher’s Stone balances insane fight scenes with intensely emotional moments, thanks to the deft work of author Hiromu Arakawa. Who can forget the horror of learning what Shou Tucker did to his daughter? OrRoy Mustang raining down an unceasing firestormon Envy?

This Week In Trailers: Calm With Horses, Rocks, The Wild Goose Lake, Swallow, Beastie Boys Story Trailers are an under-appreciated art form insofar that many times they’re seen as vehicles for showing footage, explaining films away, or showing their hand about what moviegoers can expect. Foreign, domestic, independent, big budget: What better way to hone your skills as a thoughtful moviegoer than by deconstructing these little pieces of advertising? This week we follow an ex-boxer turned enforcer, find out why “So What Cha Want” is my favorite Beastie Boys single, develop a nasty swallowing habit, protect the family at all costs, and then get B-movie silly with an import from China....
