    Yes, I heard alot good things about that movie.
    I seen only the beginning of it, but it seems good.

    And I see Brother, that was really good.

    And I seen Kikurijro...I highly recomend that one, it touched my heart and made me cry. /

    Only odd thing I noticed about the guy is that...he walks a bit werid. Like he just got off a horse.

    I thought it was gash...

    No offence!



    The script was straight out of the most boring, trite teenage romance manga beloved of 36 year-old OLs (Office Ladies) with fetishes for Kitty-chan knickers who never made it out of high-school hell. YMOV!

    It may have looked cooler over there, but if you actually understood what the hell they were talking about you would recognize it ain't no Lord of the Flies, and it ain't no Heart of Darkness either! It had its cool bits, but not many.

    Beat walks funny cos he was half paralysed in a drunk motorbike accident.

    Nah, not Kikujiro no Natsu, back to Battle Royale.

    I know a few Japanese movies, being as I live here with me Japanese gf, get by in the lingo, and know a movie fashion designer and a Japanese actor in two movies out this summer. But actually, not that many, and I don't recognize your avatar!

    The best movie EVER!

    The most random ending in it that I have ever seen.

    There was three sequels...and your talking about DOA Final (the 3rd and...obviously final one).

    I happened to see all 3 and own the first DOA on DVD.

    I have very different opinions on all three. You know what I think about the 1st movie.

    But I found the second DOA: Birds, to be a bit boring and a bit drawn out. Miike (the director) tried to have this movie more of a comdey but didn't really work...some parts it did...SOME parts...and you can see how hard he tried at it.

    The 3rd had some sweet action in it. Some may think he over used the CGI too much but it looks really good, ok story too. But the ending just ruined the whole movie. When they did turn into a robot it was really gay....literally.

    I was very mad with the other two...but the actor in my avatar is my favorite actor...he's just got that angry mug look in the whole movie...never seen Stallone or Mr. Governer of Cail. look that cool.

    But Miike REALLY ****ed me off with Fudoh...don't get me started.

    Saw The Returner this week. Seriously cool, and I was really impressed with the production values.

    Saw Zaitochi last night

    Fuc-king brilliant- funny, moving, stylish, violent everything you expect from a Beat film.

    Moral of the story? never try and cheat a blind man in a game of dice.

    One gripe- some of the cgi was a bit blatant- so it only gets 9/10

    Liked the Returner, dunno why, nothing special... guess I liked the characters... and some of the action is quite fresh.

    The Returner blew. I couldn't even watch the whole thing.
