hands down, one of the most badass movies you'll ever see. guy gets kidnapped, locked up in a room for 15 years. Gets out and takes revenge. ... in a nutshell. Side note: Justin Lin, director of "Better Luck Tomorrow" has taken up the script. Expect an inferior american counterpart in `06.

avoid Shinjuku Triad Society unless you like gayporn. (I think it was Miike's one)

Brother, Zatoichi, City of Lost Souls, and Hana Bi are excellent, I have not seen most of the others, or they weren't exceptional imo.

Old Boy was excellent too, missed it.

the first of the trilogy has some dirty shit in it. its still a class film though. has one of the most bad ass opening scenes ive seen. 2nd movie in trilogy, Rainy Dog, was slow, no gay porn though. current watching Ley Lines.

yeah I remember that the intro was very awesome, but it didn't make up for the gay scenes.

Agreed. Gozu is a freaky take on the old drive in gangster movies from Americana; it's pretty whacked out when a grown man crawls out of a vagina.

Audition: two words; fucked up. If you even question your ability to withstand torture, avoid this movie. Oh, it's a great movie; with enough high-strung tension to make your head groan. Both of them.

Ta,
