Since you like to watch Miike..try "Dead or Alive" it will make you think that Tarantino needs to go to film school again hehehe.. :hehe: :beaten:

I have seen Dead or Alive and I wasnt too impressed with it. The first 10 minutes were very cool, and the ending was amazing, but the rest was rather bland for me.

Thanks for the recommendations though, I will check them out.

Got new Jmovie today Inugami n Rekka ;)

:yell:TWILIGHT SAMURAI AT THE U.S. 76TH ACADEMY AWARDS (SPOILER):yell:


Twilight Samurai lost out to Canada's The Barbarian Invasions.

Dang.

;) Rekka is quite different..Like da way Da yakuza talk.. ;)

I like Asian movies in general, whether it be Hong Kong action flicks or almost anything Japanese.......


For some reason, I can only get into a few American movies, some are good but others are so damn awful. That is my opinion though, I've seen Azumi before, sometime last year, it was decent, though I didn't think it was without some flaws.


Anyways, thanks for some of the recommendations.

It was directed by Hikki's husband, Kiriya. it looks very impressive to me and I really really want to see it. Hikki is singing the theme song to it which is going to be her newest single (release date in March 2004). I've heard that it's a live action version of "Casshan: Robot Hunter", if someone can verify this for sure, that would be great :chatter: CGI looks fantastic!

Yes it's live action version of legendary "Casshan". One of the greatest anime in the history.
