Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus trailer hits


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.

Neko Ramen Taisho is coming!

Minoru Kawasaki has another crazy film with Neko Ramen Taisho, based on the manga serial Neko Ramen by Kenji Sonishi. The director of Monster X Strikes Back: Attack the G8 Summit and Executive Koala now brings us a film about a cat who operates a Ramen noodle stand. The cat is played by a puppet, but don’t worry, there will be real cats in the film, including famous feline Tama (the cat who runs a train station) Also, it looks like the English title of this might be Pussy Soup, which I think is stupid.

Plot listing

“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!

Thai Giant Snakes – The Scout

The Scout is a sequel to 2006’s Vengeance, a Thai movie I have but haven’t watched, where some people go into the jungle and nature goes crazy and there is a giant snake who is on the poster art.
As for The Scout? The plot:

Scouts visit an ancient temple to witness a lunar eclipse. Hearing campfire stories of the legendary god who protects the temple, they decide to go on a treasure hunt. Finding themselves lost in a parallel universe, they must find the way back before the end of the eclipse traps them

The teaser:

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.
