SHORT REVIEWS.....
"Ultura Man Cosmos VS Ultra Man Justice:The Final Battle"(Shochiku)
directed byTsugumi Kitaura
directed byTsugumi Kitaura
For the first time in Ultra Man history, Ultra Man faces Ultra Man. Ultra Man
Cosmos protects the earth, but Ultra Man Justice does not like Cosmos'
attitude. All Ultra Men are supposed to protect all the universe's peace. Huge UFO(just like
"Independence Day") and 2 cool looking robots attack SRC Space Center where two
monster delivery rockets are about to launch. Cosmos comes to reascue but Justice
stands in front of Cosmos. On first encounter, Justice kills Cosmos. By mystic
powers, Cosmos rises again and persuades Justice to fight against the Alien. Now Cosmos
and Justice unite and become a new Ultra Man, Ultra Man Legend! This movie is
still for kids, but adults can enjoy it because the VFX is great. This movie will be in
Japanese theaters on August 2nd.

*"Chain"(Art-Port)directed by Atsushi Sihimizu
Another horror movie from Japan, this time a fortune teller chain mail on cell
phone will kill you.
Shooting with digital video camera, it just looks like "Blair Witch Project", this
image helps to get us scared. A whole bunch of young people all over Japan,
start getting fortune teller chain mail on cell phones and those who get these
mails, die in mysterious ways. "Chain" focuses on a young brother and sister ,Riyo
and Yuri, whose friends start dying. Finally in the middle of the night,
Yuri finds that Riyo is reading email on his cell phone (just like "The
Ring"). Now will he be dead, or not next? This movie will open next month only in
Tokyo(late show only).
* BOXOFFICE
Invansio of American film continues.....
See ya at the movies!

You know, I liked this idea better when it was called Ringu, and was scary. So by replacing vcr's/cursed video tape with mobiles/spooky fortune teller this somehow avoids being deriative crap? Oh, and please dont someone come along and point out something that Ringu *might* have been based on, because i dont care, really.

Obligatory shameless plug: For more on Battle Royale II (including story spoilers that are trickling in), head to http://br2.battleroyalefilm.com .

which translates to "Midnight Boys Attack Team." It's probably got some significance to Kinji Fukusaku's film crew, who call themselves the "Midnight Workers." "Mayonaka" is a 7-minute punk song that starts off slow, laid-back, and wistful then goes all-out punk at the end. It's a nice listen, but it's no "Shizukana Hibi No Kaidan Wo," the surprisingly touching rock-rap song that the first Battle Royale closed with.

The rest I could give a shit less about.

What the hell is that part at the end???

Has anyone seen the video for Brilliant Disguise where the Boss is sitting in his kitchen singing and the camera slowly slowly zooms in, and by the end of the song it is literally in his face. And he looks anguished and man, is it ever intense! Best music video ever, I swear to you.

Dammit man, they would be PERFECT for the BR2 soundtrack. + "The Core" is #2 at the box office. Sweet merciful crap- America will lose face with it's Japanese counterparts. Out.

Whats up with that?

OH Sweet Jesus on a pogo stick that Nebula M78 dance party kaiju on ice gay disco bash looks like the funniest shit ever.

I believe this remake is the American production and release, directed by the original Japanese director and shot in Japan.

If you're going to try to be cool and clever, at least be accurate! MechaGodzilla's tag is "Kiryu", not "Ryuki". Two different words for "dragon". Your headline makes it sound as if Godzilla and Mothra are going to team up on Kamen Rider Ryuki. Which might be a good thing. And it's "Godzilla x Mothra x Mechagodzilla: Tokyo SOS", not "vs". And if _you_ would like to be in on the shoot, you have to go to http://www.toho.co.jp/gmmg/welcome-j.html and register. All hail Mothra.

T3 kicks ass baby! I can't wait. I hear that T3 will be going to the IMAX screens as well! Right on! Apple Pie.
