Director: Koreeda Hirokazu
Starring: Junichi Okada, Rie Miyazawa, Susumu Terajima, Tadanobu Asano
Genre: Japan, Samurai, Drama
Koreeda Hirokazu is the master of the saccharine. The man has managed to tackle such subjects ranging from dealing with the suicide of a spouse (Maborosi) to the prospect of life after death (After Life), and in each instance, rather than depressing the audience, he has somehow managed to lift their spirits. His latest, Hana (Flower), is no do different. With its tale of peace over revenge, Hirokazu yet again demonstrates an adept and skilled director, producing ...]]></description>

 Directors: Katsuhito Ishii, Hajime Ishimine (aka: Aniki),and Shunichiro Miki
Starring: Tadanobu Asano, Susumu Terajima, Kazue Fukiishi, Rinko Kikuchi
Genre: Japan, Comedy
I&#8217;ve come to dig the works of Katsuhito Ishii over the course of his three previous theatrical releases. Sharkskin and Peach Hip Girl was endlessly hilarious. Party 7 was a bit of a nosedive,  but all was forgiven following the excellent A Taste of Tea (though, to be completely honest, I can&#8217;t remember much of the movie at the moment). From what I&#8217;d seen of the Funky Forest trailers, it ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[No, I haven&#8217;t been slacking on the film reviews. It&#8217;s just that we haven&#8217;t seen a lot worth talking about. This latest batch could be perceived as a nice drink after drought. Note that since Johnny To&#8217;s Exiled is playing at this year&#8217;s SFIAAFF I&#8217;ll try to have a review up this weekend. Read on for the reviews.

Love &#038; Pop

Party 7
Initially I wasn’t going to review this, but seeing as Party 7 will be released by Synapse in 2007, I know some of you will be interested. Straight off, Party 7 is definitely the least of Katsuhito Ishii’s films. The tale of seven people, and a suitcase of cash, converging in a seedy hotel (thoughtfully equipped with a peeping ...]]></description>

Vibrator
I do my best to see good in films these days. I think I&#8217;ve come a long way from my cranky green critic self. But Vibrator has brought out the cranky in me. It is an absolutely terrible film. Plodding, shallow, and self important, it is an absolute chore to sit through.
Lauded as &#8220;Japan&#8217;s Answer to Lost in Translation&#8220;, another tale of spoiled, ignorant losers awash in the seas of travel, Vibrator epitomizes the type of trendy VH1 Pop-existential garbage that&#8217;s so popular right now. It features a completely vacuous ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Summer’s over and stress is back, so, I offer up a review of a relaxing flick.


Ishii seems also to have a nice hand with his actors, as near all performances come off as natural and unguarded, whether from the two young actors, or Ishii veterans Tadanobu Asano and Tatsuya Gashuin. Every character, whether of the main family members, or supporting curiosities such as the vagrant dancer living on the beach, is believable and likable on some level. Their respective personalities are sufficiently nuanced and for the most part (save for ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you’re a fan of Tadanobu Asano (and who isn’t?) you know he likes to pick some oddball projects. Likewise, if you’re a fan of Teruo Ishii, you know to expect anything, from the depraved to the profound, and potentially a mix of the two. But when the two team up to bring an influential manga artist’s tale of awkward love and loss to the big screen, you know you’re in for a treat.
Adapted from Yoshiharu Shiga’s Wind-Up Type, Screwed (aka: Neji-Shiki) stars Tadanobu Asano as Tsube, an unsuccessful Manga ...]]></description>

But, rather than list films guaranteed to garner critical acclaim (and respect of our academic elitist peers), we&#8217;re choosing those we would honestly watch more than once.
Best films (Chris):
Shinobi: Heart Under Blade
So good, and so sad. I really hope this gets a decent US release. I absolutely loved this film.
Takeshis&#8217;
500% Beat Takeshi indeed. A blast from start to finish. It may take a while to get a ...]]></description>

Most of you probably know him from the Anime segment in Kill Bill Vol. 1. But, however you may know him, it&#8217;s obvious the guy has a wealth of talent, and is surely one director to keep an eye on in the coming years. The trailer for his latest film, Funky Forest: The First Contact, is now up and man, does it look crazy. Lots of cool talent in ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I must admit, Takeshi Kitano’s films are an acquired taste. For example, my first viewing of Sonatine I found to be quite tedious. However, upon my second viewing, a couple years and a few Kitano films later, I began to recognize the subtle nuances of Kitano’s performance and the dichotomy of the violent Yakuza city life and the tranquil beach antics.  Kitano is not one for making a straightforward film, and it can be off-putting if you’re not ready for viewing a film you have to interpret. His pictures ...]]></description>
