What Films Have You Watched This Week - The Sequel.

[prinnysquad]

Kurosawa.

[kryss]

Good call. Anything post 1990?

[QualityChimp]

I know what you're saying, Kryss. It feels like slim pickings in the last decade.

Off the top of my head, here are some good post 1990 Japanese films though:
13 Assassins
Love Exposure
Suicide Club
Zatoichi
Battle Royale
Versus
Returner
Azumi

Korea has been knocking some great action films out recently!
City of Violence
Old Boy
The Host
Woochi
The Man From Nowhere
A Bittersweet Life
The Good, The bad and the Weird
The Chaser
The Berlin File
Silmido
A Dirty Carnival
Smypathy for Mr. Vengeance
Snow Piercer
The Thieves
My Wife is a Gangster
Duelist
Gangster High
War of the Arrows
Fighter in the Wind
Musa: The Warrior

All of those are post 2000!

QC, I'm gonna check out 13 assassins soon but the rest of your Jap movie list is pap.

[prinnysquad]

Gamera films - the mid 90s trilogy.

There'll be decent flicks I'd imagine if you dig deep enough. I'll have a gleg on ADC.

[Dogg Thang]

Is "gleg" a word or is that some autocorrect fail?

[kryss]

Zatoichi and Battle Royale have that built around Kitano Takeshi feeling. I enjoyed The Returner though.
Youkai Daisensou looked good but the ending sucked.
live action Cutey Honey looked good but the ending sucked.
live action Casshern looked good but the ending...didn't suck too much.
live action Yatterman...I've still not managed to watch yet.
live action Ninja Hattori-kun The Movie was actually okay, despite having a SMAP member in the title role.

I should just knuckle down and watch all the Godzillas in order.

[prinnysquad]

Gamera, you bint. The three films are quality traditional man-in-a-suit kaiju. If you're going to watch the Godzillas, then watch Frankenstein Conquers the World and War of the Gargantuas too.

Gleg, yeah - it's a Northern thing :-)

[bash]

Just seen I, Frankenstein. Think the worst elements of Blade, Van Halsing and Underworld. Sometimes I dont mind a creature feature and this has mad gargoyle v demon moments in.

Proper ropey madness but could be fun if you watch it with mates to take the piss out of it.

[saif]

Kryss, I can massively recommend "Helter Skelter". It is a great film, and really well shot and lit. I think you will find it interesting at the very least - it is the first film in years that I have rewatched in less than a week and I rewatched it again within a few more weeks.

[PaTaito]

I'll recommend one film, then you can find the many other amazing japanese films to see for yourself...

The Twilight Samurai "Tasogare Sebei"

[cutmymilk]

Watched The Departed for the first time. Not sure why it took so long...supreme film.

Cinema today to watch The Wind Rises

[Dogg Thang]

I watched Jason Goes To Hell last night. Truly atrocious. The first Friday with not a single redeeming feature.

[buster_broon]

I, Frankenstein
Just garbage and a mess of a movie

[Neon Ignition]

Action fest with the missus, first Die Hard 4 followed by:



"Get off my plane"
