Okay so last night, I stayed at my moms house while she was out for the weekend because I was bored and she has a TV and I don\'t.
Anyways, I was relaxing channel surfing and I come across a movie called Audition which was just about to start. I was a little buzzed and in that state of relaxation where the television just has all your attention and there is nothing going on in the world. The phone could ring and you would just be too lazy to get it. So the movie starts and i\'m getting into it, at the start it comes across as a light hearted movie about this really nice guy looking for a new woman in his life so he holds a fake audition and really hits it off with this one girl.
Then it takes a nose dive into the creepy and weird like nothing else. Maybe it was just my particular mood and state of mind last night but this movie was awesome. Also because I knew nothing about Takashi Miike I thought this movie was something else entirely from what it was and was very much so caught off guard by it.
After browsing info about it today I found it made it to number 11 on Bravo\'s 100 Scariest Movie Moments. Anyways the clip from Bravo sums up my feelings about this movie

If any of you are into a good mind screw of a movie, definately check it out.

This guy rocks. Check out "Ichi the Killer". I must warn you though, this movie is friggin\' gross.

you mean like that? lol. Geez. I\'m gonna have to take a trip into the city next pay check.
I definately want to check out the rest of the movies made by this man.
-
That\'s actually the exact scene I had on my mind at the time, lol. Yes...that and lots of other goodies. :p
-
Ichi the Killer is fucking awesome omg lol - kakashi is the man
Visitor Q is another good movie - it was actually a made for tv movie from what i hear and its crazy
Izo i was highly disappointed in though
His Dead or Alive series is supposed to be good too
on another note if you have never Seen Battle Royale 1 or 2
highly recommend them - not so much Japanese horror but awesome non the less
-
phenomenal movie. that sound the chick makes when she\'s sawing him creeps me out every time.
surprised nobody mentioned Gozu (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0361668/) yet
(https://psx5central.com/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.clintonsttheater.com%2Fimages%2FGozu.jpg&hash=422fd50b1be9c0c7a769aeea8cf34289a71291e9)
the ending is...ummmm....yeah.
just watch it.
-
i wasnt overly keen on it, but maybe as i knew to much about it, and i ound ichi a anto climax, i thougt it was going to be much more violent...
battle royale was amazing!!
zatochi, im prettys ure he is in the movie... not like audition, but is superb too

That woman turns me on
-
I think I made a thread about this years ago.
That movie is creepy.
-
Yeah, it came out in 1999, so its been out for awhile.
I definately want to pick up at least Gozu and Ichi on thursday, pretty much anything I can get my hands on is what my pay check is going to this week. I\'m hoping I don\'t have any problems getting unrated versions, espeacially of Ichi. The rated R version sounds extremely tame compared to what i\'ve been reading about the unrated version.

Kop translator: "I found Ichi The Killer (to be a bit of) an anti-climax."

speaking of odd japanese movies this always weirded me out
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096251/ (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096251/)
-
and even weirder, was the sequel
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0105569/

Audition is boring as hell until the final scene...
Ichi the Killer is the craziest movie I have ever seen and I had no idea what the hell was going on...
Other Japanese movies...
Kairo = Almost fell asleep
Uzumaki = Stupidest movie I\'ve ever seen
Suicide Club = Starts out interesting, drags, then had no idea what was going on
Battle Royale = Excellent
Battle Royale 2 = Starts out good, then gets worse and worse, ridiculous ending
Dark Water = Great, the little girl is the cutest, the ending will bring you to tears
One Missed Call = Fun, confusing ending
Ju-On: The Curse = Scary as hell
Ju-On: The Curse 2 = Steals your money
Ju-On: The Grudge = Boring
Ju-On: The Grudge 2 = My favorite J-Horror movie
Tomie movies = ZzzzZZzzzZzZzzZZ
Next up, Reincarnation by Takashi Shimizu...

Oh yeah I saw that at my DVD rental. I was thinking to get it but I hesitated because I didnt know how good it is. Especially after I just saw Ju On2 which dissapointed me hugely.
I see you mentioned 4 Ju On movies there. Are the first two the original Japanese versions and the other two the "remakes"?
So far I ve seen Ju On 1 and 2 and Grudge 1 and 2.
-
4 Ju On movies released in Japan, 2 in the US...
Curse 1 - Low budget, about the teacher paying a home visit to the house, stars Chiaki Kuriyama, of Battle Royale...
(https://psx5central.com/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fchiaki-kuriyama.zanlius.com%2Fcover_juon.jpg&hash=1d97d67d870243fd09b55e51f24d8e53314b38c4)
Curse 2 - Continues where Curse 1 left off, literally, in that the first 30 minutes of this is the last 30 minutes of Curse 1, which is why its such a ripoff...
(https://psx5central.com/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sarudama.com%2Fmovies%2Fimages%2Fjuon2b.jpg&hash=5042568b80bf737ebf66c0376b1d46a463e9a893)
Grudge 1 (Japan) - Theatrical release about the home care worker visiting the house, the one the US version was based on, with a little bit of Curse 1 thrown in...

Grudge 2 (Japan) - About a pregnant actress filming a documentary about the house...

yes Old Boy is an awesome awesome movie - korean not japanese but very good non the less
also if you watch anime at all the live action version of Death Note was very entertaining to me
few other Asian movies recommended are
Casshern - Japanese Sci Fi - zomg the cinematograhpy is so nice
My Sassy Girl - one of the top grossing movies of all time in korea - its a romantic comedy like no other - trust me even guys will like it as i did - it just absorbs you into it - the sequel but really prequel Windstruck is pretty good too and has the guy from "Volcano High" if you seen that
Volcano High was pretty good but i rather the non rapper dubbed version >.>
Battle Royale 1/2 = good stuff but 1 was much more original and fun to watch and plus it has GoGo from Killbill in it ftw - heh just noticed that other day when i rewatched it

i have yet to watch the other Vengance movies the 2 sorta sequels to OldBoy but i hear the Symphathy for lady vengance is pretty good
Tale of Two Sisters is a good Korea horror movie
anyways ill have to glance over some of my dvds - i tend to like the asian flick seen more so then american as of late because they are a bit more creative and dont rehash a lot of the same stuff over and over like in us lately
-
I\'ve seen those 3, Oldboy aswell as Sympthay for Lady Vengance and Sympathy for Mr Vengance. I liked Lady better out of the two. But out of three Oldboy was easily my favourite. The soundtrack to that movie with the violins is excellent.
-
r point...
i bought it, but not watched it yet
zatoichi is amazing!!!
-
zatoichi is amazing!!!
movie or series?
i love beat takeshi in most of his films (especially fireworks and sonatine), but the zatoichi remake was terrible
:(
-
Korean Movies
Oldboy = Overrated but nice twist at the end
Sympathy for Lady Vengeance = Overhyped/overrated, silly, nice plot/story but cheesily executed
Sympathy for Mr Vengeance = I don\'t know, I was too bored to finish it
My Sassy Girl = Great, drags in the middle, Jeon Ji Hyun is gorgeous
A Tale of Two Sisters = Confusing but interesting
Phone = Ripoff of other horror movies but decent
Sez is Zero = Funny, gross, sad, softcore porn
Wet Dreams 1 & 2 = Midly funny, not as gross as expected
Red Eye = Sucks
The Ring Virus = Tried to captialize on the popularity of Ringu and fails miserably, horrible acting/directing, just plain sucks
Breakdown of Asian movies:
Action - Hong Kong (80\'s thru mid-90\'s only)
Horror/Weirdness - Japan
Drama/Romance - Korea
-
not got round to watching the series yet, still in my to watch pile.
i liked the movie, but could be becouse i have not yet watched the series!!
