I am loving my Netflix subscription. So many foreign Japanese films to rent and watch. Plus I don't have to scour several different stores to find one that has a show I want to watch. I just queue them up and wait for them to arrive.
So far I have gotten:
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou
Lost in Translation
Millenium Actress
Ringu 0
Tokyo Godfathers
King of Comedy

I loved how they made Millenium Actress. Check this animated film out.
I am liking Stephe Chiao movies and I think I will end up watching them all. They have a strange otherworldliness to them while at the same time being fairly realistic.
Ringu 0 was interesting and certainly explains more of what happened in the Ring. I am getting the original Japanese version of Ringu to compare with the American version. I anticipate liking the Japanese version because I enjoy the pacing of Japanese films.

I was ill yesterday, so I watched the last three films on that list. I also saw several shows that were saved on my Tivo and watched a couple DVDs that were still shrink wrapped. I may catch up eventually.

I finished Scrapped Princess and Gantz. I liked Scrapped Princess and was fairly impressed with the ending. Gantz on the other hand let me down at the end. I still want even a glimpse at what exactly is going on.
