...they recall schoolboy crushes, ice cream trucks and stickball, their reminiscences also conjure up a safer, simpler world. Maybe that's why what began as a video scrapbook of their joint 70th birthday celebration wound up an award-winning film, The Bronx Boys, which has appeared on Cinemax, played at a few film festivals and begun appearing on PBS stations this fall. Carl Reiner is the host of the film, which was edited and directed by Benjamin Hershleder, a filmmaker in his 30s. "They have something special, these 15 guys," Hershleder says...

Like Casshern, virtually every frame in Devilman blends live action and computer graphics. Judging by segments that have been completed, Devilman will be a lush, Gothic-flavored...
...Japan's oldest and best-loved comics, which ran from 1956-66 and was also made into a cartoon.

When the remote is in the hands of a schoolboy named Shotaro Kaneda?the story's real hero?the Iron Man is an unstoppable defender of justice, whooshing in ? la Mighty Mouse to foil villainous schemes.
