Oshii's Virtual Worlds

I just added two new titles to my Recommended Japanese Live Action
Cinema web page. These are both directed by Oshii Mamoru who is better
known for his animation work.

These two stand out as among the best of his works, and interestingly
enough both movies are, while Japanese productions, not in the Japanese
language. These two movies are Avalon and its sequel of a sort Assault
Girls.

�I had been meaning to add these for some time but was delaying as the
Miramax release of Avalon has been out of print for years. Then I was
happy to discover that the Japanese editions of Avalon all have English
subtitles. In the entry for Avalon I link to CDJapan as I have found
CDJapan's prices to be lower than most other sites for Japanese products.
