Shogun sounds interesting I may watch it some day.

My favourite japanese movie (and so favourite movie) is Battle Royale. The basic premise is that a class of 15 year olds are stuck on an island and are forced to kill each other. The last boy/girl standing gets to go home. Each person trys a different approach to the problem facing them.
How I wished to do that to my class sometimes.

It is very exciting to watch, and for a week afterwards it was all I talked about to my two friends.
