Movies Anyone here watches any Japanese movies or J-drama?

How many Members do watch J-drama or j-movies? What are some good j-dramas and movies?

 

I watch japanese films whenever they're on, and I've seen some good ones. Ring 1 & 2 are top class horror films. Hanabi is a really good cop thriller thing. Then there's Pantyhose Heros. Hmm, what to say about that one... It's about a pair of cops who pretend to be gay to catch some criminals. It may sound like a large steaming pile of moould old crap, but it was actualy pretty funny(especialy the opening sequence), and it had some really good martial arts in there. I'm sure I've seen other films, but I can't think of any right now. I've never seen a J-Drama though.

 

I watch J-Drama
Ive watched GTO, Beautiful Life, Heaven Cannot Wait.. and i have Love Generation, Strawberry on the Shortcake, Long Vacation, To Love Again... currently getting Summer Snow, Investigator Mariko S1 (sp) and Merry chirtmas in summer , and there were others .. searching for more....
All of which i mentioned are very good
GTO - Very nice!!
Beautiful Life - Has a great plot .. but be prepared with ur tissue box
Heaven Cannot Wait - VERY FUNNY!!!

I was gonna get Ring 0, 1, 2 but i heard they were horror or thriller... so .. eheheh =D

 

Has anyone ever seen Shall We Dance? It's a really good drama, and it's kinda funny at some parts. I saw it at a college theatre where they were showing foreign films, it wasn't necessarily a japanese film fest but there was the one japanese film there so I was lucky.

 

I've seen Shall We Dance? it's one of my fave Japanese movie!!! Kat, you are lucky to have a chance to watch it. I love the part that middle-aged men who are not good at dancing are practicing dance hard! They do it very seriously, but it's funny to see their dance. They have no rhythmic sense They are typical Japanese cause we don't dance so often compered to foreigners

 

*nods* I do I do!

My favourite so far is Hana-Bi, and I love all the adultish movies like Weatherwomen, for comedy value only ^.^;;

I also watch alot of other asian movies like Storm Riders and A Man Called Hero

 

I watched this movie - it was called "Lessons of Life" or something.

It's about a radio show...

the funny about it , is that the voice actors are too selfish and they begin improvising against the director's will - for example, instead of "Michael Peter", the guy named himself "Donald MacDonald" (heard: Donardo Macdonardo)

man, it was hilarious.

at the end the hero returns to earth (they had to make him a space pilot) riding a rocket! Oh boy.

It really made me laugh.

 

I watched Japanese movies on WoWoW. One time, I watched a horror movie, although I can't understand a word, it's pretty good...I can tell...hehehe

 

hmmm, the only movies that I've really seen from Japan are the Godzilla movies(someone shoot me if they're actually Korean). That and 7 Samurai Which is a really great movie and classic.

 

Hey! I love 7 Samurai's!!! I've watched it on AXN and it was subtitled. The fight scenes are just sooo good!!! ^_^

 

Well...

Welll.
well i watch about 20 minutes then i get lost in the plot, when i suddenly notice i've been making the plot up my self, when i don't understand Japnese, but i like the fighting, oh and i've seen some jackie chan movies when hes talkin japenes but his voice has been dubbed, and i've seen "Croaching tiger, hidden dragon£ dubbed thats a cool movie.

 

Oh

Oh...
oh sorry i didn't now but thanks Izzy, i always fough it was japnese but hey what do u expect lifes a b*t*h, hehehe , well i ain't seen any japense movies in english then.

 

I hate dubbed live action films. That **** is wrong. Bad memories of butchered Bruce Lee films.
Anyway, I saw Rahsomon yesterday and Yojimbo today, both directed by Akira Kurosawa and staring Toshiro Mifune. They're damn good. Samurai's 'n **** rock. I'm going to Sanjuro tomorow and 7 Samurai sometime next week, and I'll probably see The Hidden Fortress and The Bad Sleep Well too. There is an Akira Kurosawa season on at the IFC. Which is nice.

 

I've seen only a couple J- Dramas. I've seen GTO, and The power of love( I forgot the title in Japanese), I have also seen The Wedding Planner, and few more that I can't remember.
I think I have seen a GTO movie to... I'm not very sure if it was a movie though. Oh, well you guys know what I mean.
