Or so it would seem. If you have digital cable, then this month could be a treat. Comcast's onDemand free movies now have about 8 or 9 new Asia-Extreme films to check out. Of course, like all films, they can be hit or miss, but at least they are there and for free!
In this collection, they actually have Oldboy! If you've seen it, you know how amazing it is and how awesome it is that this movie has been made available; and if you haven't seen it, give it a shot. It's pretty amazing, if you ask me. A couple others included are Bright Future (with Ichi the Killer's Tadanobu Asano), and The Maid. Bright Future.....well that's an odd one, but it is still pretty interesting, and I'm currently watching The Maid. Seems like it will be good, what's not to like about the gate to Hell being opened and ghosts coming out and terrorizing Tokyo? lol
So yes, August looks like a good month for fans of Asia-Extreme, if you have digital cable. ^_^
