Closing this year's SF Indie Fest (starting next week) is Miike's Great Yokai War - a kid's film ala Zebraman. See http://www.sfindie.com/indiefest06/film/..._Yokai_War. For some reason, this movie sounds really, really good to me. I've always thought that the goldmine of Japanese goblin myth has gone mostly untapped. Unfortunately, I can't make it to the festival on 2/12 - I'm just too busy right now.
Also worthy of note at the fest is House of Fury (http://www.sfindie.com/indiefest06/film/...se_of_Fury) - a JCE (Jackie Chan Empire) film starring a friend of mine, Phillip Ng (the credited dude in New Police Story who dies almost immediately - he's also a villian in Dragon Squad). I haven't seen House of Fury, but I'm told it's amusing...
