Speaking of anime, one of Miike-san's upcoming projects is a live-action adaptation of a 70's-era Japanese anime about time-traveling teens and the misadventures with their fantastically-designed "time machine" mecha You should catch this excellent action-packed anime Black Lagoon….though it is set in the fictional Thai seaport of Roanapur, there is a couple of episodes (near the end of the 1st season) that are set in the Philippines.

Wow. Why do these words make me as nervous as a stray dog in the streets of Baguio? And that picture! Wow again. The picture of a civilised Japanese about to be swallowed by the savage society.

It was remade into a pretty good Korean black comedy called The Quiet Family. The remake was great: it featured the lead actor from Old Boy (and shared the same director, I think) and the guy who plays the short gangster boss Sang-du in the Korean TV series All In. Possibly The Happiness of the Katakuris would be better because nobody can do meaningless weirdness like the Japanese. Let us know how the movie fares in your estimation. Cheers.

The production was from Hong Kong, I think. The title escapes me but it's about the plight of Chinese kidnap-for-ransom victims in Mindanao and, for some weird reason, it's not totally antagonistic towards the kidnappers.
