new movies

ok, well they're not really all that new. I saw one about a year ago, and another last spring, but I figured a title like "new" would get your attention...;)

Anyway, the first movie is called Suicide Club. Its a very interesting/gruesome movie about some disaffected kids in Japan who kill themselves. there's a detective trying to solve the reason why, a weird rocky horror -esque song segment, and a very annoying j-pop band. I won't expect any of you to actually go and buy this movie, so I went ahead and got myself a copy. you can borrow it it you like, or rent it from blockbuster or netflix. Seriously, this is a weird, twisted, but interesting movie.

the other movie is called 2LDK. This one's short, over the top violent, and yet proundly introspective and watchable. You can get this at blockbuster too.

So go out and watch these Japanese movies! You may not end up liking them, but at least its something different from the most of the rest of the crap that gets put on tv/movies...
