For this Wednesday Super Slop Night, first up is Ace Attorney (2012), Takashi Miike’s adaptation of famed lawyer video game Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney (2001). It is a live-action cartoon about a lawyer solving various cases in over-the-top fashion, assisted by a girl who can channel dead people. We have already watched a few Miike films, including Ichi the Killer (2001), Happiness of the Katakuris (2005), Yakuza (2007), and 13 Assassins (2010). The reviews are pretty good for this one, so let’s check it out.

After that is 13 Going on 30 (2004), a comedy about a 13-year-old girl who wishes she could hide from the world until she turned 30. The power of magic then transports her into the body of a cool 30-year-old (Jennifer Garner). At first, she’s excited, but what if adult life isn’t as great as it seems? Uh-oh. Director Gary Winick seemed to specialize in these sorts of teen-girl-oriented movies, such as Bride Wars (2009) and Letters to Juliet (2010). This film is really popular on Letterboxd, some’ll give it a whirl.

We’ll start at 8PM EST on Blorptube, right here:
