Especially if you're a fan of the original manga.

I finally got around to seeing both of these quite recently. Best of all I saw them both within a relatively short time-frame at a cinema. I understand that Death Note 3 will be released in London very shortly.

Not great films, but hugely enjoyable nonetheless. I'm looking forward to the next installment.

I recently saw Sakuran which has a story based in the Yoshiwara district (just to the North of Asakusa, Tokyo). A sumptuous, saturated assault on the senses by photographer Mika Ninagawa. FABULOUS! As long as one doesn't expect deep meaning. But with all that glorious surface detail, who's scratching?
