Japanese Movies

I watched Ringu 1 and 2.  
Hollywood made basically the same movie from the first one.  The Ring.  The Japanese version was more interesting in a way I guess because I saw it first and didn't know the Ring was the same movie going in so I was just sitting there not jumping at anything since I already knew what would happen.  

Since I think I heard they are making a “The Ring 2” I can only assume it will be based on the second movie.  Which means you can catch it in Japanese before it hits theaters if you like.

Almost like finding out there is no Santa or something to already know what happens in a thriller horror movie.

The american sequel to The Ring is gonna be directed by Hideo Nakata. He was the director for the original japanese versions so it'll be interestin to see how it turns out.

And since no one said it yet ... Battle Royal 2 suxxxs especially since the director died in the middle of filming and his son took over. Either way though the story wasnt nearly as good as the first one. Granted i only watched the first 30 minutes but many people told me not to even bother watchin any of it. So i eventually just pressed the stop button.

This was already said but i reallly recommend that everyone watch Ping Pong. Its just basically about a bunch of kids who compete in Ping Pong tournaments though theres more to it than that.

GTO (Great Teacher Onizuka) is good too, it has been made as an anime, live action tv series and a live action movie. Ive only watched the latter 2 of the 3. I dont know, guess im a sucker for J-Drama. The series consists of 13 one hour episodes. Its basically about this delinquent karate expert who wants to be a teacher and he finally gets his chance to prove himself. Yosuke Kubozuka plays a computer hacker kid whos in Onizuka's class and he was also the main character in Ping Pong (Peco). Nanako Matsushima plays Onizuka's love interest and was also the main character in Ringu.

Another Heaven is a good suggestion for a horror movie. Its about this .... guy (forgot his name) who is a detective and there has been a few murders that seem linked together which means theres a serial killer on the loose. Its a supernatural kind of horror movie .. i'll leave it at that before i start giving stuff away.

Well thats all i can think about at the moment.

KillJoy:
I've been wanting to see "Infernal Affairs" and I was wondering if anyone had seen it yet.  Our theaters around here take forever to bring in anything that isn't 100% mainstream.

I read the reviews and it is going to be quite interesting.
