last one was probably Uzamaki. Personally, the manga was better, but very interesting visuals

Three Extremes is excellent. Anthology of 3 short films. You know you're in for a treat when you're watching something in this genre entitled Dumplings. Although "Cut" was really good too.

Battle Royale
I have seen it a few times and I love it every time. The character development and the teenage attitude is very well done in my opinion. My only problem with it (besides one of the over acted deaths) was the convenient unexplained cheating at the end. 9/10

tried to watch BR 2, BIG BIG MISTAKE. The dialogue went on unneeded tangents and the character development was horrible in comparison and the hair was ridiculous. Not to mention, why would they be on the same island? I could go on a huge rant of what was wrong with the film. 2/10

Tokyo Sonata (2008). This movie is an exploitation of the mystery of Japanese culture. The story revolves around a rather mundane, middle class family as it comes up against economic tragedy. The result reveals a family that is anything but mundane as the cultural dogma of how one is to behave comes into conflict with common sense and human nature, culminating into chaos, despondency, and a rather comedic subplot that disrupts what might have been a dark spiral into the abyss. The acting was quite solid, with Kyoko's portrayal of the strong and subservient wife a compelling piece of work. The direction by the incredible Kurosawa was wonderful as he moves away from the horrors of chronic lassitude into the horrors of everyday domestic life in Japan. The ending was appropriate and gorgeous. Ashe.

Womb Ghosts (2010)

A time passing, mediocre Horror film from Hong Kong. For first half n' hour I was bit confused about the female leads (it happened once before while I was watching the movie called Dead Friend)...as more or less they all looked kinda same. Later on as the story progress then able to recognized them.:)

Dark Water (2002)

[psycho d]

Curse of the Golden Flower (2006). Jade and gold on the outside, rot and decay on the inside. This was the basic element upon which this epic sized tragedy was erected, a la Chinese. With the hoards of extras used, I kept wondering where they got all of those people, until I realized that China has no lack of extras. This story was a basic Greek-style tragedy told with the backdrop of the Tang Dynasty. The acting was spectacular, with heavies such as the beautiful Gong Li and puissant Yun-Fat Chow leading. The emotional tug of war of intrigues and heroics are wonderfully expressed in facial and body language. These are good people driven by destiny and human nature. With Yimou Zhang at the helm, the story unravels flawlessly amidst sets whose opulence is only challenged by the splendor of color. The hoards of people are expertly choreographed, leading the eye to seek out CGI'd excesses that do not exist. Overall, this is an epic tale that the Chinese got right. Ashe.

Phobia 2 (2009)

In this sequel of Thai anthology 4bia this time it comes with 5 stories. Liked the 1st, 3rd & 4th (Novice, Backpackers, Salvage) story for the plot & story premise. Last one (In the end) was decently funny. Overall, it's a better package of horror than 4bia.
