I've just finished watching Confessions and I can tell you one thing, Japanese movies are amazing.
The plot was pretty simple (at first): An elementary school teacher tells her students that it would be her last month to teach her class... but first, she must avenge the death of her 4-year old daughter who was killed by 2 of her students.
Starts out slow but by the end, things get pretty intense. ^____^
Next in line would be Departures. :)
I've already watched:
Joint Security Area (Korean) - a tight friendship between North and South Korean guards are shook when it was discovered.
Battle Royale (Japanese) - high school kids stuck on an island and are ordered to kill each other. Probably won't be welcome in America with Columbine and all.
Tae Guk Gi (K) - war movie. this almost beats Saving Private Ryan.
Oldboy (K) - revenge movie... please please please don't make a Hollywood version.
Kisaragi (J) - murder/mystery in a one-room setting
Man From Nowhere (K) - TAKEN, Korean style
Grave of the Fireflies (J) - anime about two kids trying to survive on their own after the Hiroshima bombing
