Mishima - A Life in Four Chapters
»rank: 12701
0ur opinion:Description:An acclaimed and auspicious biography of an infamous and brilliant Japanese author who performed ritual seppuku in 197O. :With Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters, Paul Schrader constructs a puzzle-box portrait of the controversial author (1925-197O) who turned his life into a work of art.

Black Rain
»rank: 56518
0ur opinion: essential video:A guilty pleasure if ever there was one, Black Rain is a ridiculously entertaining thriller by Ridley Scott (Alien), starring Michael Douglas as a tough New York cop who--along with his partner (Andy Garcia)--goes to Japan to deliver a local mobster. When the latter escapes, Douglas's brand of gonzo crime fighting rubs his Japanese hosts the wrong way. Slick, mechanistic, and absurd, the film is all surface action and attitude (not to mention Scott's incredibly busy, trademark art direction); and one can get ...
