Oldboy
$22.95
This movie comes highly recommended. Not your average Hollywood style flick - with lots of action and a poor misguided hero with an unexpected plot twist at the end - loved it

Ichi the Killer (Unrated Edition)
$24.95
Despite it's darkness, or possibly because of it, there were some very beautiful moments in the very unique movie. Five stars. Check out a trailer online to see if this is for you.

Old Boy Volume 1 (v. 1)
$12.95
This is an outstanding series with adult sensibilities, without being X-rated. The plot is fresh and strong. Lots of mystery and intense characters that live on the margins of society: the suspiciously devoted bar maid, the ex-secret service agent, the beautiful yet spinster ex-grade school teacher, and the obsessed business king. (Not all appear in the first volume.) At the center is Goto, whose response to grossly unfair treatment is to become stronger so he can face his enemies. And that he does.

Goto's gritty world is fascinating, and a refreshing escape tho I wouldn't want his life. My only question is, how can they drink so much booze and why in the world do they? Just a fixture of the genre, I guess.

Battle Royale: Director's Cut (Collector's Edition)
$19.95
This uncut version of movie is finally available in the US. I had to buy it on ebay. What a trip, it's like Lord of the Flies on Steroids. This movie holds nothing back. I highly recommend this movie if you can withstand seeing extreme violence between kids. Well written and highly entertaining, enjoy. It's a shame Part 2 is not nearly as good.
