Japanese, very clever. By which I mean there's no predicting where this goes - which is in it's favor. I quite enjoyed this.

Movie night, watched "Ong-Bak" - Thai martial arts film about a villager sent to retrieve a stolen Buddha's head.
Largely "Meh", although with good fight scenes - but - overall could have missed it.
That said, the depiction of the ex-pats - English, Australian, Americans & other - living in Bangkok - was rather illuminating. Exactly what you'd expect, if you thought about it, only I'd never thought about it and so was intrigued to see it depicted from a local perspective.
Which made me question if I'd ever want to visit Thailand - I mean - given all the Westerners that have gone before - and the reputation they've blazed - maybe find a different holiday destination...but - where in the world have we not stained our reputation?

This looks worthwhile. When winter comes I'll have a lot of movies to catch up on.

Chris's recommendation, clever little gem of a film by the writer/director(s)? of "Napoleon Dynamite", amusing, a bit too over-the-top, but therein is it's charm. A long way from perfect, but better than the reviews at Rotten Tomatoes.com.
