Just finished watching Confessions - I had it for a few weeks already but was reluctant to watch it, mainly because I am not really a Matsu Takako fan.
I was going to check out the first minutes and then going to do the laundry and clean my place. I watched the whole thing and have to say I was very impressed with Matsu Takako and her co-actors. The incidents described may be extreme but I do believe they happen - some it reminded me of the James Bulger case in the 90ties. The photography was beautiful, despite the violence.
I would say it's not for everybody - check out the synopsis before watching it.

Tomie vs. Tomie
New York/Tokyo based production company TK Digital today launches Japan Flix, a new digital distribution venture that makes never-before-released Japanese films available for the first time in the United States. �gThere are so many great films made each year in Japan, that never get a chance to find an audience abroad. Our goal is to provide a new platform to introduce these films to an audience who otherwise would not have access to them,�h says Takayama Teru, founder and president of TK Digital/Japan Flix.
Partnering with various Japanese distribution companies, Japan Flix offers a highly convenient distribution method for these otherwise hidden gems, as each of their releases will be available to download through the iTunes Store (in HD when available.) Online, viewers can browse an easy-to-navigate catalog that includes information and trailers for each film, and from there select a film to view. There are links to the iTunes store, where you can choose to either purchase or rent the film. Japan Flix has launched with an initial wave of titles, which includes the hit horror film "Teke Teke," which stars AKB48's Oshima Yuko, and the latest installment of the horrific and popular Tomie franchise, "Tomie vs. Tomie" (photo). There will be subsequent new releases every month in a wide range of genres – drama, horror, action, romance comedy, cult, yakuza, and more.

Lucky you
OT: I'm on a lucky wave. Watched yet another excellent movie, Golden Slumber, starring Sakai Masato who's accused of killing Japan's prime minister. He's a kind of Japanese Harvey Lee Oswald - only he's a scapegoat and manages to escape. The movie doesn't explore the dark forces behind the act very much but rather follows him escaping with the assistance of a series of interesting characters.
Supposedly, the result was an accident: Nakadai Tatsuya had problems controlling the pressure in the hose and it got away from him... But they kept the scene.
