Zebraman.

Everyone- go watch this NOW. This movie just BLEW ME AWAY.

A boy in a wheelchair, a mild mannered schoolteacher who imagines himself a superhero, alien green blobs invading the Earth, government conspiracies..,. all melded into one cockeyed plot that straddles genres with perfect finesse. Manages to be domestic drama, sci fi, horror, satire- and it all WORKS.

Inspirational, heartwarming, hip cool, and hilarious all at the same time. Honestly, I haven't been so impressed with a movie in a long long time.

Manages to get some hilarious barbs in against the ghost woman with long hair, buildings sealed with red tape and Ultraman type superheros. So many deft small touches of humor and even some symbolism and political comment.

I just can't rave enough about this movie.

OMG

I have seen its trailer only on the dvd features of some Asian movies but didn't get the chance to give it a watch for its unavailability at our local shops. Though it seemed weird & funny on the trailer but now I'd surely like to watch it as soon as I get the dvd. Meanwhile, I'm adding it to my wish list.
