Asian Invasion

[Jim Harper]

It was pretty good. A little short though- one episode
each for Japan, Korea and Hong Kong. The Japanese
episode included an interview with Ryuhei Kitamura, as
well as discussion of Ping Pong, Kalamari Wrestler,
Ghost in the Shell 2 and a few others.

Aside from the brevity, my main complaint was that the
fact that it was largely geared around films that were
about to be or had just been released in the UK. This
meant that the Korean episode (just as an example)
devoted space to relatively inconsequential films like
R-Point and Ring Virus. They're not necessarily bad
films, but they're not terribly important either.
