  • Three things that bothered me about The Grudge.

    1. There are more white people than Asian people in a Japanese university.

    2. In the sequel, everyone is speaking English in Japan.

    3. Japanese people speak perfect English to EACH OTHER! Even those old people, and on television! Do these movies take place in an alternate universe where westerners colonized Japan and they never went into isolation?

    On a lesser note, I like it how every character had a white boyfriend. Where are the Asian dudes?

  • Thank you for defending our cinema, we appreciate it! ^__^ Akiko - Kyoto, Japan

  • if that's the case setting up the remake better, they need to stop whitewashing, but hollywood is too prejudice for that.

  • thx for respecting asian movie.. asian is pretty sad their wonderful movies cause never gets respected and credit by the western

  • there are alot of movies from asia that is been remade, not just horrow. there are dramas/action/comedy.

    e.g.the departed, my sassy girl, eight below, shall we dance, the magnificient seven.etc...so they have been doing remakes for a while.

    Then again alot of countries borrow ideas from all over the world, not just hollywood.

  • @ryanmovieguy08: I just want to let you know that we are seeing a reversal, now it's asia remaking American film:

    -Japan remake Sideways, and Ghost. Japan will also remake An Affair to Remember, and probably Twilight if it happen.

    -Hong Kong and China has remade these American film: Hong Kong remade Cellular as Connected, and Zhang Yimou did a remake of one of the Coen Brothers' film, Blood Simple into A Simple Noodle Story. China will also remake What women want.

  • Oh. The Uninvited was so terrible. T_T I didn't know it was a remake... and then when I realized it was I got rather angry. T_T Oh, Hollywood, please die.

  • Anyone realized how "Paranormal Activity" is a rip-off of "Noroi"...? -___- what a fail.

  • don't forget how they also cast white people in the leading roles, do we really need white people in japan...or relocate the entire setting to america, couldn't they just keep asian people in the lead role?

  • I usually never say this about a certain movie but 1 Missed Call was a piece of krap. I was mad when I found out they made a remake of that.
