Big Man Japan (Dainippon-Jin)
Hitoshi Matsumoto 2007 | Artsy, Comedy, Feature, Japanese, Manga
A little too talky, but it's one of those movies that makes you smile thinking about it later. I definitely need to get this on DVD. A true original.

Always: Sunset on Third Street
Takashi Yamazaki 2005 | Drama, Family, Feature, Japanese
A totally manipulative button-pusher, but what can I say? I fell for it.

Accuracy of Death
Masaya Kakei 2007 | Drama, Family, Feature, Japanese
A little overly sentimental, but sweet and entertaining nonetheless.
