Rokugatsu no hebi (2002)
An interesting exploitation about cancer
A snake of June is a mix of psycho thriller, exploitation, and sickness drama.
The beautiful actress Asuka Kurosawa plays the role of Rinko, a shy business woman who help people with their problem by talking to them on the phone, most of them are sick patients with suicide thoughts. Although she is very kind and her phone patients loves her, she has a boring life with her workaholic husband. One day she get a phone call from one of her patients that turns out to be a stalker, he has taken photos of her through her window where she pleasure herself, if she doesn't want her husband to find out about the photos, she must do everything the stalker tells her to do. But the question is, that something in his sick fantasy or is it all what she really want to do all her life?
Exploitation movies are almost impossible to follow if one is not in a good mood for exploitation, but "A Snake Of June" do it very interesting, and I love the blue color use in the movie, makes the location look metropolis, and Asuka Kurosawa is amazing, I don't think she is related Akira Kurosawa but she is talented actress as she is beautiful.
Fankang zhe (2011)
Ninjas vs WWII soldiers
Cool Ninja Movie but in the WWII time-line and beautiful location.
The story: During Japan's invasion of China in 1937, a masked avenger systematically murders Japanese soldiers after horrible atrocities are committed against her family. A group of Chinese resistance members are gathering to rescue their leader from a Japanese prison camp.
What I love about this ninja film is it mix With WWII settings, and yet it doesn't take away any serious tune, as a matter of fact the history and the situation and the war crime that was committed during the Japanese occupation of China 1937 is shown here too, but instead of playing the part of the regular war Movies, it is played with a Classic ninja Movie style.
In other words, this movie should not be judged as a war film but as an action/adventure film.
Also I love the Chinese location they shot the film, from Beautiful landscape of the ocean and countryside to the big Palace own by the Japanese General.
It's not exactly a war Movie for those who are fans of that kind of genre but should be able to find something worth of history.
And for all ninja fans out there should be entertained of the story and the martial art.
