RECEIVE THE BATON OF JUSTICE!

Now that I've managed a bit of time off from work, I'm looking to update a lot of the old content from WTFFILM as well as write some new stuff. First up on the agenda is a review of GOLDEN BAT, a totally insane super hero romp from Toei Studios in 1966.

Are you ready to receive the baton of justice?

The tarantula articles I've been writing have been seeming more and more inappropriate for WTFFILM over the past several months, so I've opted to start a new site dedicated to them.

TIGER-SPIDERS.COM

I'm not even sure if I should qualify it as a bug, as it was simply an oversight on my part. Thanks to my neglecting to add the # before the variable in the usemap attribute of the img tags in the image map files for both the header and menu for this site, said image maps were completely non-functional in Internet Explorer.

Oddly enough they worked perfectly well in Firefox, which is why it took me this long to catch the problem. I apologize to all of my readers but am happy to say that, as of now, the problem has been resolved.

REVISED June 02, 2008

Critical acclaim for Kiyoshi Kurosawa was in short supply for the earliest 20 years of his career, with his name going all but unheard in the film community. That all changed in 1997 when his brooding and enigmatic breakthrough CURE took the world by storm. Since then he has crafted a number of genre-defying meditations, ranging from the bizarre modern romance BARREN ILLUSIONS [1999] to the unlikely slapstick comedy DOPPELGANGER [2003]. He has even suffered the gravest of Hollywood transgressions in having his 2001 effort KAIRO remade as the lackluster fright-romp PULSE. His 2006 effort SAKEBI, newly released to DVD in the USA by Lions Gate under its international title RETRIBUTION, is a triumphant return by Kurosawa to the gritty existential horror that made him an international star.
