「超獸機神斷空我」憑著獨特的野獸合體機械人設定﹐側重角色心理描寫的劇情﹐一反統傳地故事到了差不多一半時﹐機械人才第一次合體等等﹐成為八十年代的經典超級機械人動畫。二零零七年的新動畫「超獸機攻斷空我」﹐則只是掛羊頭賣狗肉之作。除了借用舊作機械人的名字和合體結構外﹐兩者並無關連﹐更加不是續集。若果用「超獸機神」的標準去量度「超獸機攻」﹐珠玉在前地去比較﹐新作可以說是各方面也不合格。不過若果把「超獸機攻」當作一套獨立動畫來評審﹐倒也不是完全一無是處。至少這套動畫惡搞了不少熱血機械人的情節﹐知情者必定發出會心微笑﹐有些位置更讓人拍案叫絕捧腹大笑。… [...]

人久不久總會想懷舊一番﹐對著記憶中曾經十喜歡的東西﹐總會抱著一份寬容的心態。「秀逗魔導士(Slayer)」是九十年代的經典動畫﹐主線只是很老土的RPG故事。主角二人組接工作打怪獸四處尋寶﹐不知為何最後總要因為保衛世界而與大魔王決一死戰。可能受到是大學中動畫同好會的鬼仔朋友的影響﹐當年我也是這套動畫的忠實擁躉。在九八年「秀逗魔導士」的原班人馬製作了「迷失的宇宙」… [...]

廣東俗語有句說話﹕邊有咁大隻蛤乸隨街跳。接受超出合理水平的條件前﹐先要讀清楚每一行細字﹐因為這些優厚的條件背後﹐極有可能暗藏殺機。一個有三數份華爾街紐約著名律師行聘書在手的法律系異業生﹐接到美國南部一間小律師樓的面試。開出超越常理的優厚條件﹐底薪高出外面二成﹐入職送寶馬名車免費房屋貸款﹐大慨任誰也扺受不了這個誘惑。可是平靚的海面低下卻急流暗湧﹐小律師上班才第一天﹐就律師行兩位律師給人謀殺。他才發現這間四十人的律師行﹐竟然在過去五年間有五名律師死亡﹐工作死亡率比當油井礦工還差。他還被聯邦調查局的探員釘上了﹐家中辨公室車子給不知何方神勝裝上了竊聽器﹐生活受到二十四小時的嚴密監控。工作上要求他每星期上班八十小時﹐他因冷落妻子家令庭關係同樣陷入危機。到底他踏進了什麼危險地方﹐如何可以保住小命逃出這個「糖衣陷阱」呢﹖… [...]
