Japanese reviews of Western films

[John Dougill]

Forgive the somewhat off-topic request, but I feel sure there are members
of the list who can help me out. I'm looking for internet sites and
reference books in Japanese to recommend to my students with regard to
their studies of culture through movies.  Unfortunately I'm not at all
familiar with Japanese film critics or film material.

I believe there's a Japanese language equivalent of the IMDb? Are there any
other useful Japanese sites that anyone knows about?  And could anyone
recommend a good reference book with reviews or essays about prominent
Western films, or a worthwhile Japanese critic perhaps....

Very grateful for any leads
