Whilst searching through my On Demand listings hoping to get lucky by finding a Kurosawa movie I discovered a whole collection titled “Japanese Cult Films” in the Movie Collections section. I couldn’t believe my eyes, and my luck. The selections are available until 2/11/2010, so you have a good amount of time to watch them all, if you have Comcast. Click the “More” link for to see what’s showing.
Titles include:
Bodyguard Kiba
Bodyguard Kiba 2
Deadly Outlaw/Rekka
Family
Great Yokai War
Izo
One Missed Call
The category title is a bit misleading since the only films included are from one director: Takashi Miike. That’s great, but I was hoping for a variety. Maybe the category makes a regular appearance in the menu but with a rotating lineup of directorial features. I’ve already watched Great Yokai War and it was really worth it for the laughs. So Jeremy, how about making February “Takashi Miike Tribute Month”?
