Anime Antics Fullmetal Alchemist Edward Elric is a boy who tried to bring back his mother with his younger brother, Alphonse Elric. They tried using Alchemy, the science of breaking down matter and reconstructing it as something else. Human Transmutation is forbidden and as a result, Edward lost his right arm, left leg, and his younger brother to the forces of Alchemy. Edward was later equipped with automail (metal limbs) and Alphonse's soul was attached to armor. They set out on a journey to find the "Philosophers Stone" in order to reclaim their original bodies. They soon run into hardships, losses, and things they never knew existed. |

"The Brothers Grimm"
"The Brothers Grimm" is a movie based upon the old German folklore that was written down by two brothers in the 1800's so that local legend would not die. Since that time, the tales have become classic and know worldwide. The latest spin on these tales is the movie released in 2005 titled "The Brothers Grimm". The movie features some great acting while combining all of their classic tales together in one tremendous fairy tale. The story follows "The Brothers Grimm" as they go form town-to-town staging out paranormal performances. But when they encounter a true-life fairy tale will they be able to survive? This movie is rated PG-13, and may be frightening for small children.
