Rated 3.0/5 Stars 1 2 3 4 5 3.9 \| 9 rating	Ichi Fumihiko Sori 2008 \| Spring Showcase A cool re-imagining of the Zatoichi franchise. However usually good acting by Haruka Ayase was not present. Kind of disappointed. Shidou Nakamura as the villain steals the movie.	4/22/2009
Rated 5.0/5 Stars 1 2 3 4 5 4.4 \| 5 rating	20th Century Boys - Part II Yukihiko Tsutsumi 2008 \| Spring Showcase Like all great trilogies- Usually the middle episode is the best. Thus Part 2 does not disappoint you at all. More twists and turns in the main plot with a lot of explosive confrontations keeps you on the edge of your seat. Our heroes are placed in the worst of situations and looks like all hope is gone for Humanity. The end was sort of anti-climatic, but still begs you to see Part 3 in how it all comes together!	4/10/2009
Rated 4.0/5 Stars 1 2 3 4 5 4.3 \| 8 rating	Ghajini A.R. Murugadoss 2008 \| Featured, Spring Showcase Excellent Bollywood production and great remake. However, the long running time and too many music numbers are hard to get used to.	4/10/2009
