Well, if they got a shark leaping out of the water and biting the Golden Gate Bridge in half, then I’m there. Probably literally, on the bridge while a giant shark bites it. That’s what I get for living in the bay area.

“Taishô’s father is a supermodel cat, and everybody believes that Taishô will be a supermodel as well. His family has great expectations of him, because he is the eldest son, but he can’t bear all the pressure and runs away from home. Unfortunately, he has no clue how to survive on his own, having always been fed and pampered as a model cat. Taishô passes from one job to another, homeless, until he finds his place in a noodle shop, where he becomes a successful cook.”
The film was released in theaters in Japan on Novermber 29th of 2008, and has made a few film festivals. It comes out on DVD on May 29th in Japan!

For another Thai film with snakes, check out the info on Deep in the Jungle, aka Naak
Deep in the Jungle stars Jesdaporn Pholdee as a special-forces sniper who goes rogue to protect a young woman (Ploy Jindachote) who is sought by a rival black-ops soldier (Pasin Ruengwut). Sakda Kaewbuadee stars as the woman’s protective brother. The siblings are from an ancient tribe of snake gods who can live in human form. Coherent storytelling and decent special effects made Deep in the Jungle an okay effort from Phranakorn and director Teerawat Rujeenatham.
And thanks to Avery for the heads up on The Scout
Director Yoshihiro Nishimura put this up. Let the blood spray! Heads explode, skulls pop out, skulls spin, limbs detach, and tons of other nasty, awesome stuff. It will be gore-riffic!
