Greetings, Sembene, great to hear you've enjoyed Kinji Fukasaku's films. I admire his works. Just watched "Under the flag of the rising sun", great anti-war film.
Planning to watch Mochizuki's 'Another lonely hitman", heard a lot about the film. And speaking of most recent Japanese cool movies i put my hands on Suzuki's "Youth of the beast" was fantastic.



Dude, kick fucking ass! I will make sure to check these titles out over the next week. You guys have some really good taste in films (sorry for my Ozu/Japan digressions, writting in the morning really really gets me going for some reason). And kumicho, I won't lie, I got LOST a few times with the Yakuza Papers (wait who, what, where?), but it's just the build up of the WHOLE series that really got to me. That's why I need to start it (the whole series) all over again. The fold-out map is nice with the DVD, so it helps quite a bit following the action.

Also, Mochizuki, hhmmm, haven't heard his/her name before but I'll surely take a look. "Youth of the beast" is criterion right? If so, it will be picked up eventually! (such a great collection actually) There's also something called Sword of Doom somewhat recently out. Anybody seen this? Man, I tell yea, American action films can't hold a candel to these guys.

Anyway, will check them out. Thanks again kumicho, whereever you are.

S.
