WANT. All I need now is Returner and I'm swimming in a puddle of my own joy!
Well, I found one review, but the reviewer sound like an asshole, who doesnt like action movies,m and just bitch for sake of bitching :pissed:

But at least he tells us about plot line, which is not bad.
"Their film might be described as "Leon" meets "A Better Tomorrow" meets "The Matrix" meets "E.T." meets "Alien" meets "Gremlins" meets "Terminator"
That doesnt sound that bad to me. And action seems to be done very well, so I'm sold :)
The previews are very good. Impressive camera movement and character design.
I love how they hammer the name of the movie into your head at the end of the trailers.
Returner! returner. RETURNER!
The review is rather negative. He says that this film would have been good in 1982--well I doubt those effects and camera work would have been possible at that time. I'll wait and judge for myself, but I'm sure I will like it as long as the action is good...Quote:

The guy who reviewed it, doesnt sound like the person who enjoy action films, so he should stop writing about things that he CLEARLY biased about. Go watch some Drama or something :)
Transforming Plane(into Robo-Insect!!) is cool idea :)
Looks pretty bad ass to me.
He also needs to get his facts strights. Since when Snipes had a Blonde hair-do in Blade??? :lol:
If he cant even distinguish Blade from Demolution Man !! :p
Looks pretty cool. Too bad I can't view the trailers though :(
BTW, AMO Tokyo has Shurayuki-hime for $36. Like you said, no subs though. If you're REALLY interested I'd email the helpful fellows at http://www.midnighteye.com and ask them if it's hard to watch the movie w/out subs. I did the same for another Japanese film- 19. I plan on buying that as soon as I get some cash. The only bad thing about AMO Tokyo is that they only take credit card orders. Because of this, all my R2 business thus far has gone to CD Japan. They're great, they take International Postal Money Orders and they commonly give away posters and other free stuff. They only have a Making of Surayuki-hime DVD though.

Well, Shurayuki-hime will be released by Tartan in UK, September 23 :) But it will be PAL version, but I think its Region Free. Benson World has it for about $25.
I know I will be getting it :) As for movie, dont expect it to be all action, since its not, and trailer kinda misleading in that area. But what it got, still should be pretty cool.
I can't play PAL in my regular player can I?Quote:
