Another ridiculously bloody splatterfest from the creators of Tokyo Gore Police. The trailer below speaks for itself. You just gotta love these guys…

After about a year of teasers and tv spots, a full theatrical trailer for the Takashi Miike’s highly anticipated live adaption of the classic anime, Yatterman, has surfaced. Check it out on the main site.

www.yatterman-movie.com

Click on the middle button to see the trailer. I haven’t got a clue what’s being on said on the site or the trailer. Can’t wait to see how Miike handled this one. Looks campy as hell, but lots of fun.

Wow! If you thought Machine Girl was out of control, this one will blow you away. The biggest hype for me was knowing the beautiful Eihi Shiina, from Takashi Miike’s Audition, was the lead role. This film is extremely absurd in every manner and highly entertaining. Can’t wait for the sequel!

Film Picks: Crows Episode Zero

This film rocks! This is Takashi Miike’s most commercial release to date and it also happens to be one of his finest. Great performances and classic Miike touches all around. I have trouble with most asian films trying to put out their renditions of “cool” characters, but this film’s turned me into a major fanboy. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself relating to one of the characters or crews and adopting their maneurysms (I personally am working on Genji). Super excited about the sequel on the way!
