Bullets 'n' Babes

"The other movie that I'm working on will be a zombie movie. The catch is that the zombies have teeth in their ehm... backsides and use their asses to bite people!"

Mizuizumi: Maki Mizui (right) and Cay Izumi (left)

Mizui + Izumi = Mizuizumi. Maki Mizui (formerly Sayako Nakoshi) and Cay Izumi (Izumi Kai) are scheduled to perform together in a dance show at this year's Yubari International Fantastic Film Festival (Yûbari Kokusai Fantasutikku Eigasai) - "YIFFF" for short - in Hokkaido, Japan on February 25th.

BTW, last month Mizui starred in Toshiki Satô's Seishun H: ichijiku kobachi, and last year she co-starred with Ai Narita in Minoru Kunizawa's pink film (pinku eiga) The reipâ: yami saito-hen - bishimai · hada no sakebi - or "The raper: yami site-hen - bishimai · hada no sakebi", if you prefer back-transliterations. (Both Mizui and Narita currently are managed by Hotcha Promotion (Haccha Puromôshon).)

A completely useless Alien vs Ninja UK DVD review:
http://homecinema.thedigitalfix.co.uk/c ... ninja.html

Apparently the reviewer thought the film was a joke, and hence his review should also be a joke. He mumbles something about Toshiro Mifune and then writes about two sentences about AvN and finishes the review. Well done.

Looks great. Has Iguchi finally made a good movie?

Deadball review:
http://twitchfilm.com/reviews/2011/07/f ... review.php

"No gag is too extreme, no joke too tasteless for DEADBALL. This is a comedy by and for fans of the extreme Japanese splatter movement and it makes no excuses for that. And, yes, Tak sings."
