I have added a new live action movie to my recommended title lists.
This one is Shiki-Jitsu the second live action movie directed by Anno Hideaki, who is better known for his animated work, and produced by Studio Kajino, a branch of Studio Ghibli.
I was very impressed with this work which won an award for Best Artistic Contribution at the 13th International Film Festival in Tokyo.
Shiki-Jitsu, which came out in 2000, has yet to receive a DVD release in the U.S. but the Japanese region 2 DVD has English subtitles. I link to the CD Japan page for the movie in the web page entry.

Turtles No Ninjas
I have added two titles to my recommended title list for live action movies. While they are Japanese films they have no ninjas, but they do have turtles.
What are these shelled films?
They are:
Gamera: The Giant Monster
and
Bushido Man
