mediareport was kind enough to support MeFi with a donation. Their request was for six recent films that were big hits outside of the US but didn't get much attention stateside. There was a problem, though, in that I was only able to narrow the field to 14 films. Fortunately Soap_and_Bathetic kicked in an extra $15 to push me to share the entire list. I'll be using the tag #PopcornWorld

Donate $25 or more to MeFi and you can MeMail me a request for a themed day of your own. I'll fill up the sidebar on FF with six movies that fit your theme.

The Shin movies rule.

Just so no one gets too confused that this is a sequel or remake to anything other than any of the various Kamen Rider shows, the "Shin" movies (Shin Godzilla, Shin Ultraman and this one Shin Kamen Rider) are unrelated narratively but share some thematic elements and the writer & director.

Shin Godzilla is an all timer but Shin Ultraman was a bit of a letdown. Hoping Shin Kamen Rider redeems the new Shin Universe!
