looking for articles on Miike

[Jim Harper]

In the UK over the past 3-4 years it's been shown on digital/satellite subscription channels (Sky Movies, FilmFour), 'free' digital/satellite channels (Sci-Fi) and one of the five basic terrestrial channels. Next to Ring, it's probably the most widely shown of all the 'extreme' Asian films that have made it to television (and there are quite a few now). The fact that three separate 'networks' have picked it up is a testament to its popularity over here.

here for the past 3 months and I've noticed quite a few Japanese movies 
being played lately, mostly on Starz.
