Launched in 2002, Subway Cinema's New York Asian Film Festival (NYAFF) is America's leading and most influential showcase for popular Asian cinema. Each year, the Festival selects over 30 feature films, considering only the best, the strangest, and the most entertaining of the recent titles.
Some films I'd like to see:
Arch Angels
HARRY POTTER meets CHARLIE’S ANGELS in this surreal flick about Catholic schoolgirls with superpowers fighting evil nuns and funky kidnappers.
Dorodoro
Disney movie + Lord of the Rings + samurai film + LSD = this huge Japanese blockbuster about a wandering swordsman who fights demons. Crazy fun for the whole family!
L: Change the World
The DEATH NOTE movies were massive hits in Japan (and at last year’s NYAFF) and here’s the latest installment in the series, courtesy of Hideo Nakata (THE RING). L, the Goth Sherlock Holmes with the killer sweet tooth, fights a flesh-melting virus in this slick summer blockbuster.
Sukiyaki Western Django
Takashi Miike’s English-language spaghetti western is bigger! Louder! Faster! More! Wild shoot-outs, female gunslingers and Quentin Tarantino in a supporting role – pure maniac movie overload orgasm!
(umm, maybe, the trailer was good)
This World of Ours
First film from a 25-year-old kid, it’s a howl of rage about the death of innocence. Drawing a line from 9/11 to school shootings it’s a digital riff on A CLOCKWORK ORANGE that screams and howls and bleeds.
there are others ... and there are the really, really freaky leave your sanity at the door flicks that I'm going to pass on. The trailers alone were enough to make me go ooookay, not for me.
But I think there's a lot for everyone to enjoy.
