Japanese horror movies

I cannot live without my cell phone :-p. It is my job tool, internet tool, communication tool, scheduler, camera, movie recorder, music player, etc,. It is important as my PC. One of the benefits of my cellphone is of course that it is availlable for me to use anytime, anywhere. But it can interfere with me. After mid night while I am sleeping, a sudden phone call will wake me up. I check to see who call me, and then there is a number on the pale screen, which I have never seen before. (it is just an "one giri" =spam always).   

Chakushin ari was a Japanese horror movie released two years ago, it showed such fear  from a "a death message" very well. Check out the trailer. I heard this movie will be a remake in Hollywood like the others before. Actually The Grudge and the Ring succeeded far more than people expected. In Japan, we have the Chakushin ari 2 now. Here is the trailer. I never want to use it, but this sounds (the ring tone when the death message arrives) is popular in the ring tone service download.

Then this week, I heard Kiki's delivery servise will be remade in Hollywood too. This title is famous as a Ghibli's movie. But the original is a series of book written by Eiko Kadono. Who will play Kiki?

Hi Robert
One giri sounds like Onigiri? ha ha ha you are so funny.

Hi Orange
In the U.S you do not have any spam on your cell? That is great.

Hi BLue thing,
twin sisters? Hmm I don't know. What is that? Japanese movie?

Hi Jonny
I saw three dramas and two movies. But the original book was the greatest, I can tell.

personally I like those two word titles, in fact I think Hollywood should start using it as part of their formula..maybe then we'd actually start seeing some creative writing..the Odor, the Stank, The Sock..or would all the movies start carrying the same title? (at least then we'd know we'd already seen it...was that Paycheck?..or the Bourne Identity?..oh I hate movie trivia lately! heh heh..that one giri thing made me want to read your rice ball post again..spam always..now there's a horror movie!
Good Lord, now they're doing remakes of remakes..has Hollywood truly run out of ideas? Soon we will be paying $15 (USD) to watch infomercials for 90 minutes..let us pray that it wont be a Dakota Fanning "Kiki" ne? please?

i agree, can't live without cell phone. i freak whenever i accidentally leave it at home. thank God, i never get those one-giri calls; hopefully they don't start up here in the U.S. those movies look scary, i can imagine getting a call in the middle of the night after seeing one of those would be pretty creepy!

Greetings from Spain!

That film is being released nowadays here. It doesn't look like 'Ringu' or another japanese films I liked. In some weeks we'll be able to look 'Twin sisters' _Is the original film title like this?
