... onegai shimasu

[drainer@mpinet.net]

 I still have not seen "Uzumaki," albeit I've asked about it, and am
planning on buying it.... I must say, that although I didn't understand the
whole trailer nearly a year ago (my Japanese... is getting there...), it
blew me away... I first saw the trailer in the tape I have for "Audition."
 Although I like Japanese film for its cinematographic and artistic
performance, I must say that some filmes that subscribe to the horror genre
are rather well made and thought out.
