Signed up for a GreenCine membership (ah, the hypnotic draw of the banner ad...!). They're an online DVD rental service that touts themselves as being a little more hootie-tootie, esoteric, weird, and artsy than NetFlix-- and, hey, THEY ARE. Cool--! Anyway, they have plenty of Sanada-san movies. First up: Onmyoji, a historical fantasy about the sorcerers who guard the royal court of Japan from the forces of darkness. Not to give too much away, but... I didn't realize just how well Hiroyuki Sanada could play evil. There are scenes where he's got his voice all the way down in hell's cellar growling out spells, and-- yeah. EVIL. And crazy. There's a sequence in which he's stalking someone, and he's practically singing his lines-- like the joy of insanity-- and this is gonna sound weird, but I almost found myself picturing him in a re-casting of Red Eye. Opposite Michelle Yeoh, maybe. Oh, yeah....

I have yet to see this one, but here's the official site: www.onmyojimovie.com/The plot is interesting and Hiroyuki looks wicked. I'd LOVE to hear him sing his lines.
