crows zero 2 : the black bible is the sequel to the wildly popular crows zero , directed by the oh - so - prolific miike takashi . employing the same formula of bravado , fast - paced action , and school politics , it has got the word “masculine” streaked across the screen from the very beginning .
i love this movie , hope their making a third one . . . in god ' s name i hope their making crows zero iii . . . .

after all the punches are thrown and the bodies drop , crows zero is a takashi miike movie for those who want to see guys beat the crap out of other guys .
sadly , crows zero 2 is a pale shadow of its erstwhile predecessor . its nice packaging dresses up an irrefutably poorly - manufactured product , thus confining it to place reserved for disappointing sequels .

several months after
crows : episode 0
trouble brews again when thugs known as
the army of killers
from rival high school hosen academy threaten suzuran high aka the school of crows .
one example is the hiroshi takahashi comic “crows , ” which ran for eight years from 1981 in shonen champion magazine and has sold 42 million copies in paperback editions . the takashi miike film “crows zero , ” based on the manga , grossed ¥2 . 5 billion in 2007 , becoming the prolific miike’s biggest - ever hit .
in crows zero , high school boys wear monochromatic black clothes , spike their hair into intimidating sculptures and adopt a similarly arrogant , threatening glare . they attack people from any direction , kicking and punching every vulnerable body part of their victims .
finally , the “wow” factor also seems to be missing . in the prequel , crows zero is every bit as cartoony as this movie , but it still has incredible fight scenes and an even more incredible final fight scene that culminates into a heart - pumping climax . crows zero 2 however , does not . the fight between serizawa and ryo urushibara , which had been foreshadowed earlier in the movie , is incredibly lacklustre and the final fight between genji and narumi is not befitting of a “final” fight .
meanwhile , terra formars fans can look forward to the live - action film adaptation , which is being directed by takashi miike ( ace attorney , crows zero ) . it’s set to premiere in 2016 and will star hideaki ito ( sukiyaki western django ) .
, online . from all the editors here at the crows x worst wiki , thank you for your contributions .
crows zero is definitely a pleasure to watch but it’s not something that one would like to go through a second time . even though manga artist takahashi was so happy with the movie that he is looking forward to the sequel , this urbanwire writer begs to differ .
search at google for crows zero 3 : back to school . . it ' s juz a random story that i came across when searching for the information for cz3 . . it might be true , might be a hoax . . go look for it . .
it was stated that crows explode happened one month after 23rd class graduation , but due to the lack of characters from crows ( with an exception of makoto and rindaman ) , it is unknown if the movie itself considered canon or not .
2 years before the current study . from 2 to 21 october , 42 crows were trapped using meat - baited whoosh nets
independent distributors tokyo shock have revealed that they are planning to release on blu - ray japanese director takashi miike ' s ( zebraman 2 : attack on zebra city , 13 assassins ) crows zero ( 2007 ) . exact technical specs , region coding status and supplemental features . . .
the people of manipur a state in north east india is getting crazy after the crow zero and genji ' s dress and are waiting tirelessly for then next part .
the school is considered one of the big four of toarushi , the town and primary setting of the crows x worst series .
crows zero is released on dvd from mvm on 9th april . the transfer on my copy wasn’t particularly great . you get a bit of a pulsing image throughout due to a poor frame rate conversion and the image isn’t as clear as it could be . audio is strong , but there are no special features .
considering the experience that director takashi miike has in the genre of violent film , such as the very controversial ichi the killer , it’s no surprise that crows zero has excellent cinematography . carefully selected camera angles show off the impact and swiftness of their attacks , while the dull colours of the film emphasise grungy masculinity .
“crows : episode 0″ turns out to be one of the better manga adopted live action movies made to date . there’s definitely miike’s wild stamp placed in the movie , while his other stamp … the ability to defy categorization is just as evident . after it’s all said and done , it seems miike making a big budget film is just as impressive as miike making a cutting edge low - budget cult film . oh if you wondering about the episodic nature of the comic and that finale…get ready for “crows zero 2″ in 2009 . “crows : episode 0″ is just a whole lot of fun .
port adelaide is also investigating claims that its own player paddy ryder was subject to racial taunts from an adelaide crows spectator during the showdown .
damn ! i love this movie ! its amazing ! all the characters from crows zero 1 are back . . . plus miura haruma ! so damn cute ! im glad genji & serizawa are team up together . . . and oh ! rindaman , finally he tasted the big punch of genji . . brilliant fight !
sorry
i forgot yesterday . takayuki yamada , he is the excellence actor who is equal to the shun oguri
or different in his style or action . . . he can be in hollywood ' s lead . . . i wish i see him in a big budget movie by hollywood producer by takayuki yamada playing the lead . . . and in crows zero and crows zero 2 , everyone who are in film they are 100 % more than hollywood actors . . . go to hollywood better do in good quality high definition camera ' s with original graphics like qualioty i say hope you will get a nice director and producer in future
i can ' t believe this movie isn ' t going to come out in america . crows zero was bomb ! ! ! and now shun oguri and miura haruma are together again but on the big screen ! i think i ' m going to have to fly out to japan just to catch this movie ! ! !
hiroshi takahashi’s manga series about a group of high school delinquents is getting a third live - action movie next year with
crows explode .
the new film will take place at the notorious suzuran high school just one month after the events of the 2009 movie
crows zero ii .

lol wtf ! ! ! fk off an american version of crows zero ? ? ! even if its just a rumour , thats sounds too fail man . not only that , they ' ll replace asian actors with white ones . . . no offence to white people but cmon . . . remember dragonball ( fail ) evolution . . . yeaaaahh
when you compare them to the poor caged birds that have forgotten to fly , crows are much better , being a crow is good enough for me .

with pitch - black plumage and a petrifying cry , the crow is a menacing bully , especially in tokyo . according to crow observation logs , they attack people “from behind , kicking or pecking at the victim’s head” . in crows zero , high school boys wear monochromatic black clothes , spike their hair into intimidating sculptures and adopt a similarly arrogant , threatening [ … ]

then , the reason for the reunion was disclosed when washio gota asked all 11 crows to go into the meeting room . everybody bows when the 1st gen . crow – the now head of a big yakuza family makoto goki steps into the meeting room except for of course , those two . . . genji ( who then received a punch from his father ) and serizawa . they were later apologized by goki - san ( goki ,
new generations forget the culture easily
) . it was then revealed that the meeting was called by the ebizuka junior trio ( who are now the 2nd year ) who found out bout the crows from the school ' s enrollment file . . the leader of the trio , kirishima introduced the 11 crows to each other as the earlier generations ( the original 5 crows ) are not aware with the other late generation crows . . .
for the producer _ sama & the director _ sama . . . . . . why don ' t you make crows zero flash back when serizawa & tokio still new boy , how serizawa become famous & called king of beast , how kawanishi rules suzuran , how them become enemy with housen & many others . . . . . . . ? ? ? off course we cannot forget genji story in another school beffore he came to suzuran . . . . . . . . . like we all know , the most favorit person in this movie is takiya genji & tamao serizawa . . . . . . . . . . i ' m sure it will be great & got much positive respons . . . . . . . . . . . . crows zero ( the beginning of the war )
like yasu said , go read the manga . . . it pretty much picks up at the very start of the new year of school ( eg . sugihara makato , kirishimi hiromi and honjou toshiaki = the first year trio from crows zero i & ii are now second year students ) dont get me wrong , i would love to see a 3rd crows movie but even if one was to be made , i doubt it will follow the suzuran school . . . crows zero was meant to be the untold story of a bunch of guys that used to go to suzuran , and werent in the manga . . . now that genji and co . graduated , theres nothing else to tell besides from what is already being told in the manga maybe they could make a movie focusing on housen or even the front of armament . . . besides , all that ' build up ' for tatsuya bitou was meant to stay faithful to the manga . . . his in the manga too btw just a thought
although the opening of
crows zero
promises a swift gangland massacre carried over two hours of screentime , the material is more interested in acts of strategy , observing the gangs figure out the best possible route to potential allegiances and school dominance . this is not a tale of war , electing a more introspective route when expressing the concerns of the thugs . beneath the hair products and tough guy accouterments , there ' s a sensitivity in play that prevents
crows zero
from taking flight . these shifts in concentration can be jarring , especially in the case of tokio , a friend to both genji and tamao , who encounters a life - threatening medical situation in the middle of the film , introducing soap opera atmosphere to an otherwise hardened feature . miike shows difficulty managing the speeds of drama , which ends up destroying the natural pace of the picture .
crows zeros
has a tendency to be all over the place with its characterizations , suffocating what appear to be sincere asides with troubled personalities .
the many characters and subplots , including genji’s tempestuous romance with a punk - club singer ( meisa kuroki ) and his troubled relationship with his gang - boss dad ( goro kishitani ) , may be hard to keep up with unless you have seen the first film . like many screen adaptations of long - running manga series , “crows zero ii” crams in too much in trying to please the manga’s legion of fans .
miike ’s works , for the most part , have never really been about material . his eccentric , constraint - free approach in the director’s chair often results in sleek , idiosyncratic products which epitomize the concept of style over substance . however , in crows zero 2 , there isn’t much originality past the manga setting and its over - the - top fight scenes . miike is all too glad to use a cornucopia of clichés , including “lone man against hundreds . ” let’s face it , no self - respecting viewer is going to take this movie seriously and miike ‘s adamant attempts to evoke pathos in the movie result in a disjointed and incongruous shift from a shounen manga - esque presentation to something out of soap weekly . it is miike ’s contradictory ( and extremely obnoxious ) approach that is crows zero 2 ’s biggest underlying flaw .
bouya harumichi is a new transfer student to suzuran all - boys high school , a place where only the worst delinquents assemble . due to its large amount of delinquents who are hated by the general people for their inauspiciousness , similarily to crows , it is also known as
crows high school
. harumichi is an insanely strong fighter but has a irresponsible personality , how will he act in this new environment where every one is a deliquent ? there are 3 extra manga stories related to this series . crows is a prequel to worst .
see below ) on each of the 19 consecutive study days , first for all 33 crows , and then separately for the northern and southern communities ( here each community was treated as an ‘isolated ' group with its own duration matrix d ) . the degree of a crow on a given day is the number of other tagged crows it encountered ( at the specified rssi
) , the mean duration was scaled by the average value in the first seven baseline days ( 1 . 07 min for all crows , 0 . 55 min for the northern and 5 . 79 min for the southern community ) . molecular analysis of crows ' blood samples ( see ‘study site and subject attributes ' ) generated a binarized matrix g of first - order relatedness
interview with takashi miike
( 5 : 41 , sd ) sits down with the legendary filmmaker for a brief chat about
crows zero .
miike doesn ' t seem very comfortable with a position of self - explanation and directorial analysis , stumbling through his thoughts on creative intent and manga inspiration . again , it ' s a short discussion about the movie , valuable only for its chance to study the man in motion .
i m cryin 4 da release of crow zero iii , i admire genji ' s gutz 4 crackin evrythin plus . . wt happens after genji fight agaist rindaman . . . whoz gonna be da new ead of suzuran ? ? ? ? ? ?
) . we estimate that these 42 birds constitute over 80 % of the local crow population during our study period . we note that these crows are likely to be a nonrandom sample , as neophobic individuals that were wary of approaching trapsites ( and may also have avoided our experimental manipulations ) are less likely to have been included . all trapped crows were blood - sampled ( for molecular sexing
while
crows zero
slowly drains of urgency , miike attempts to restore a clenched - fist attitude with the grand finale , staging a massive gang war that eats up nearly 20 minutes of screen time . it ' s too little too late in terms of revitalizing the effort , but the climatic display of rage is diverting enough to hold attention , nicely ornamented with smashmouth fight choreography that keeps the boys concentrated on exhaustive , never - back - down beatings ( a theme of the movie ) . of course , this aggression is preceded by frightening medical diagnoses , two incidents of premature ejaculation , a scene of human bowling ( a flash of pure fantasy in a film that could use more of it ) , and numerous cries of forgiveness .
crows zero
packs a lot into its run time , but rarely does it come together as the carnival ride experience miike is shooting for .
as all empirically recorded daily networks contained both strongly connected individuals and more weakly connected or isolated ones , it follows that indomains ( and outdomains ) should vary according to which crow was the seed individual on a given day . we did indeed find substantial variation in our simulations : for example , depending on the seed chosen , outdomains averaged over b days ranged from 1 to 3 . 7 crows , and from 1 to 11 . 5 crows for e2 days . to allow conclusions about network properties across all nodes , we averaged indomain size over all crows and replicates to produce the measure
, the mean indomain size of a given group of crows on a given day , which serves as a proxy for the information - carrying capacity of the observed network . as might be expected ,
there is deffinately a crows zero iii movie , everyone relax . why else do you think they would set up all that potential with haruma ? the first movie was a test . . . people liked it , so they made / are making two more . these movies make me crazy , why can ' t i go to school there too ?
there ' s nothing wrong with being a crow .
both i and ii freakin rocked ! ! ! !

what ' s wrong with crows ? compared to a poor bird that ' s been caged and has forgotten how to fly , this is much better . i ' m fine with being a crow !
takashi miike has had an insanely diverse and prolific career , with 88 directing titles under his belt in only 21 years ( according to imdb ) . these have ranged from his more famous fucked up , twisted work like audition and visitor q to his recent samurai epic 13 assassins and family friendly fare such as his forthcoming ace attorney ( based on the popular video game series ) . crows zero is certainly one of his more mainstream films , although it has its share of dark edges .
to singaporean fans of crows zero , why the f * * k do we have to be in this bloody place that has nothing good ? ! t _ t it won ` t be screened in singapore . gv screened the first movie so i was hoping they ` d screen the second movie . i emailed them and to my disappointment , the second movie won ` t be screened by gv . i wonder if cathay or eng wah might though . anyone want to email them ?
he and his allies defeat the school’s most powerful gang , led by the long - haired tamao serizawa ( takayuki yamada ) , but in a mano - a - mano contest , genji falls to linderman ( motoki fukami ) , a curly - haired loner giant who is the school’s strongest fighter . “crows zero” has its moments of comic relief , but many more scenes of all - in brawling , strobed like the battle scenes in “saving private ryan” and accompanied by a hard - rock score .
crows zero
requires the utmost in viewer concentration , though it never quite earns such devotion . an adaptation of hiroshi takahashi ' s best - selling manga , the feature is blizzard of names and motivations , creating an ideal sensation of screen immersion for fans of the original work , while outsiders are left to question the half - realized subplots and wild tonal changes . it ' s not a terribly interesting motion picture , though the effort has been dutifully colored by the insanely prolific director takashi miike ( in the time i took the write this sentence , he just made another movie ) , who brings a loaded sense of style and intermittent blasts of ultraviolence to the idiosyncratic film . the helmer flexes his visual muscles on occasion , slapping the screen with chaotic fight choreography and exaggerated character designs , but he ' s oddly powerless when it comes to the glacial pace of
crows zero ,
unable to bring it up to the awe - inspiring speed a few superlative scenes hint at .
the suzuran senior high school for boys , nicknamed
the school of crows
, is the poorest achieving , most violent school in the country . the students are called
crows
and they band together in factions , battling each other for influence and power . but they all share a common goal . . . one that has never been reached in the school ' s history : unification . no one faction has ever reigned supreme .
due to his stubborn rivalry with rindaman whom he could never defeat , genji did not unite the crows school . he was still recognized as the
captain
of suzuran ' s forces during their assault on housen academy .

crowz zero ii ,
a sequel to hit film
crows zero
release on dvd & blu - ray ! director takashi miike is again in its director ' s chair . plot : about few months after the first school war , genji ( shun oguri ) is going to graduate at suzuran high school . however an assassin from rival school housen gakuen appears in front of him , and this incident brakes passed armistice agreement between two schools . housei gakuen is unified by strong leader taiga narumi ( kaneko nobuaki ) , but genji still cannot unify all rogue in suzuran high school due to linda man , serizawa group , self - indulgent freshman group , and more factors . suzuran high school is now under unprecedented danger ! also stars haruma miura as tatsuya bitou , the strongest man at housen gakuen .
while
crows zero
carries a heavy storyline that doesn ' t stimulate the moviegoing senses , there ' s quite a display of style here to help paint the conflicts in primary colors . the suzuran school is made up of various gangs and outlaws , each class maintaining a uniform look to spotlight their coolness and commitment . miike introduces a leather jacket mentality to the costuming that helps the actors to triumphantly peacock around , showing off their outlandish hairstyles and detailed costuming , generating attitudes and levels of threat without a line of dialogue uttered .
crows zero
is actually highly amusing to watch at times , especially when the action cranks up and takes full advantage of miike ' s stylistic choices , enjoying the retro rockabilly push of pompadours and sneers rubbing against a modern twinge of tracksuits and popped collars . the look of the film is superb , but only in bits . miike strangely holds back from pure insanity , slowly growing to love these characters , which tempers the beguiling eccentricity the first half of the film is quick to embrace .
the crows are back . . . . and this time they have a common enemy , a rival school plotting to bring them down . genji has to bring all gangs of suzuran together , only then he will be truly respected as a leader . its great to see the character of genji mature as he realises beating everyone up alone doesn ' t make you a leader . all old characters from the first movie are back , and a bunch of new ones too forming the rival gang . action is great . . . . . style is cool . . . . and background music is just perfect . a good sequel . a great ride . fans of the first part wont be disappointed looking forward to crows zero 3 , if it ever happens .
moving on , the characters themselves make up an integral part of crows zero 2 . oguri shun does a decent portrayal of genji , the stereotypically truculent and silent main character . particularly commendable is takayuki yamada ’s performance as serizawa , who nails the character’s aloof charm quite well . the other characters , particularly those from hosen , like ryo urushibara and tatsuya mito , played by gou ayano and haruma miura respectively , were laughable . these actors have the thespian ability of a wooden mop . thank them for providing several notable unintentional moments of hilarity .
adapted from the outrageous manga by hiroshi takahashi , this sequel to crows zero continues the story of takiya genji , the son of a powerful yakuza boss who transfers to the gang - ridden suzuran all - boys high school with one goal in mind : unite the school ' s many , warring gangs under one banner , and prove to his father that he can handle the family business . unfortunately , he has some competition in the form of serizawa tamao , a gang leader also known as
king of the beasts .
~ cammila albertson , rovi
in the sequel , “crows zero ii , ” again directed by miike , the boys from suzuran are back , but this time they have a new rival , the white - uniformed students from another institution of higher punkery , kosen high school . the kosen punks are after a suzuran alum , the lanky kawanishi ( shinnosuke abe ) , who fatally knifed a kosen leader in a dust - up two years earlier . released from a reformatory , kawanishi finds a kosen horde waiting for him and narrowly escapes a lynching by fleeing to the protection of his suzuran juniors .
i kind of liked this , but it kept knocking itself down a few marks as it went along . once you get past the flimsy premise and goofy humour and accept that crows zero is a film for teenage boys and not one to critically analyse in any depth , there is a fair amount to enjoy . the action is solid and fairly plentiful for one . although clearly aimed at a younger audience , it’s brutally violent at times , with the fight scenes , although occasionally enhanced by effects , generally kept visceral and fast - cut without losing a sense of what is happening .
i must admit , being american and from massachusetts of all places , i didn ' t get to catch wind of the
crows
mythology until i was walking around one of the local malls and saw the dvd on the rack . something about how oguri and yamada , just stood out and i dropped the twenty bucks , cuz hey , i ' d spent twenty dollars on far worse things . so i take this dvd home , pop it in and now nothing else i own really matters . i ' v even been able to master the diologue in the movie in both english and japanese , lol . i am anxiously awaited crows zero 2 , so much so that i fear i may have to pull a takiya and start kicking the crap out of random ppl in the halls of my school . god i love japan .
urltoken crows zero - gilt mit einem einspielergebnis von über 20 millionen dollar als takashi miikes kommerziell erfolgreichstes werk . crows zero ist die realverfilmung des meistverkauften comicbooks japans . in dem kompromisslos durch choreographierten fight club - meets - the warriors - epos sitzt jeder tritt , jede faust , jeder kinnhaken . aufgepeppt wird der ästhetische schlagabtausch durch den sound der japanischen j - rock band
the street beats
. kitsch , kunst und kampfgemetzel in einem film rocken zu lassen - das kann eben nur takashi miike . an der suzuran boys high school gibt es offensichtlich nie unterricht , hier geht es nur darum , wer der herrscher über suzuran ist . der so brutale wie gerissene tamao serizawa ( takayuki yamada ) , gang - leader und herrscher über suzuran , wird von allen gefürchtet - bis ihn eines tages ein neuer schüler herausfordert . was serizawa nicht weiß : sein neuer gegner genji ( shun oguri ) ist der sohn eines yakuza - bosses - und um vaters erbe antreten zu können , muss er diese härteste aller high schools japans erobern . dass er das mit allen mitteln versucht , ist so unabdingbar wie , dass aus einer läppischen schulhofprügelei ein wilder , wahnsinniger krieg entbrennt . amasia - the finest art of asian movies . urltoken
time and again , we have seen this kind of reaction . it happened two weeks ago when brad gallaway of urltoken thumbed down horizon : zero dawn and , to his credit , acknowledged he didn ' t finish the game , either . what in the final 12 hours of content would change his mind about the first 18 , anyway .
the crows school is once again divided into factions fighting for control , with the names sajima yousuke and miyamoto sanmon being noted as the only obstacles standing in between complete dominance over suzuran . miyamoto sanmon reigns as the school ' s strongest man in his third year .
u know what i want . i want to see genji , serizawa kazeo the 3 big bosses in crows 4 . i want to see their fight with housen high school the story of the litle brother of the dead guy . i want kazeo fight with tatsuya - the litle bro , genji vs ryu urushibara , serizawa vs narumi san , izaki vs tokaji , shibata vs fujiwara , tokio vs wasio gota , ryohei vs his uncle kawanishi , the black dynamite and mikami bros vs ebizuka junior high trio - makoto , hiromi and toshiaki - the 3 guys who have a deny izaki san , goura vs the bald guy from himself army , and of course i want to see chuta , and the best friend of kazeo in crows 3 i forgot his name . . i want kawanishi , wasio gota , fujiwara , and the bald guy from crows 3 be the traitors . and i want after the fight housen and suzuran and kurosaki will be friends . also i dont want to see makise , ken san and rindaman in crows 4 and i think it will be great like that
this is where takashi miike and sukiyaki western django comes into play . there is nothing like an up - and - coming director and a quirky flick to cement his place as a credible actor . shun has turned out to be miike ' s muse somewhat ( banish the gigolo - wannabe thoughts ) and was impressive again in crow ' s zero .
. we used two approaches to explore the role of relatedness in shaping daily association networks . the first was to correlate the association matrix for all crows for each day of the baseline period ( days 1–7 ) with matrix g . we used standard mantel matrix correlation tests for this , with the pearson correlation coefficient as the test statistic . to test the hypothesis that the correlation coefficient was greater than expected by chance , we used a stratified node permutation test in which node labels of crows from the northern community ( and from the southern community ) were shuffled only among themselves
i agree there won ' t be a third movie , but actually the crows manga takes place 2 years after the second movie , as the trio are in third year there . so , in theory , there could be room for 1 more year between the movie and the manga .
at 5 min , reflecting the modal duration of empirically observed encounters . each crow in turn was chosen as the information seed . our measure of information flow is the size of the ‘indomain ' ; for crow j , this is the number of seed crows from which crow j could have received the hypothetical piece of information by day ' s end . we ran 1 , 000 simulations per starting crow per day and plotted the daily indomain size averaged over the 1 , 000 simulations and over all crows , those in the northern community , and those in the southern one (

in “crows : episode one” genji ( shun oguri ) is a new transferee at the notorious suzuran high aka the school of crows . suzuran high is noted , with good reason , to be the roughest of rough high schools in japan . with that kind of reputation , it’s obvious genji didn’t transfer to suzuran to receive a better education . rather , his father hideo promised genji he could succeed him as the crime boss of the ryuseikai yakuza gang if he is able to take leadership over suzuran high . thus genji begins enrollment at suzuran high with one goal in mind : to become the school’s undisputed leader .

to explore how our observed dynamic networks could support information flow , we implemented simulations following the basic rationale of ‘susceptible infectious ' compartment models of disease transmission 30 . in each simulation run , one crow was chosen to be the source of a novel piece of information at the start of a day ; all others were naive . information could only spread from an informed to a naive individual if they had a close - range encounter on that day . all informed crows remained informed , and could therefore act as potential spreaders , for the rest of the day . at the end of the day , informed crows were listed . in subsequent runs , each crow in turn was chosen as the ‘seed ' for the daily information flow , which again could only occur during the observed encounters between crows on the chosen day . to measure simulated information spread during a day , we counted the number of seeds from which each crow could have received information ( that is , its ‘indomain ' ) , which gives similar counts to the ‘outdomain ' , the number of crows ultimately informed by each seed . as information transfer was modelled stochastically ( see methods ) , we repeated the simulation 1 , 000 times for each seed on each day .
crows zero is a manga adaptation about factions of students fighting for control of a japanese high school . not exactly a new idea , as every other anime and manga is about that very subject . but that ' s not what made crows so uninteresting to me , i ' ve previously enjoyed many movies and shows with similar plots . my issues with the movie were that i never felt any connection to the characters , and couldn ' t care less about what happened to them . add that to the unremarkable fight scenes , and you ' ve got a recipe for
meh
. i did appreciate the sporadic humor , but that quickly ( and unfortunately ) faded away as the movie progressed . die - hard fans of the manga may want to check this out , but i can ' t recommend that anyone else go out of their way to see it . if you want to see high school students beating each other to a pulp , there are much better ( and more exciting ) options .
so when outsiders complain of a toxic culture in video gaming , movie or comic book fandom , i agree , but not because of the usual suspects . i think of the zero - sum mentality that makes everything in the subject into a horse race . hell , we ran a recap of a single episode of the walking dead today that ended with a winners and losers roundup , after all .

crows zero
is actually a prequel to takahashi ' s original work , with the production looking to create an origin story for the misfits before their adventures take to the page . keeping with the insider feel of the production , miike ( who ' s worked in the field before , most notably with 2001 ' s
ichi the killer
) and screenwriter shogo muto build an immediate intimacy with the characters , casually establishing these corrosive personalities in the scattered opening act of the movie . to those unsure of the dance steps ,
crows zero
isn ' t impossible to follow , but it takes a certain frequency of fandom to correctly tune in to the double - crosses , plans of revenge , and haunted interpersonal relationships that make up the majority of the picture . miike keeps the effort clouded with hazy backstories and intentions , forming a bizarre mix of hostility , slapstick comedy , and melodrama - - a nuanced brew created primarily for those who ' ve already developed a taste for the material and the director . simplicity isn ' t essential when approaching this community of gangsters and hallway bruisers , but there ' s no entry point for the casual viewer , rendering the film specialized product for a specialized audience . while there ' s nothing inherently wrong with that approach , it dilutes the fun for those on the other side of the fence wishing they could join the wild party miike is throwing with his gifted ensemble .

“it’s time to tour and write songs , ” haught says . “anything that we can do to be productive is what we’re after . we are currently working on some new stuff for our full - length and have a couple of tours in the works . we want to hit the road and play these songs for as many people as we can . we just want to play rock and roll . ”
give thanks , lovers of rock music , because houston’s sweatiest grunge - rockers we were wolves have returned . following their 2013 sophomore effort wolf house , the band has released a 15 - minute - long ep ruin your weekend , and it’s quite good .
“we were wolves , ” is the story about two estranged brothers who return to their family cottage after their father dies . much binge drinking and fighting ensues . we’ve all seen the canadian cottage movie about a family that goes off the rails . but with canning’s deft touch , it becomes a film about a relationship between two brothers and the lies and stories we tell ourselves in order to form our personalities and in turn our destiny .
oh yeah ! we were all a little bit tipsy because we were drinking beers around the fire and it was four in the morning . so when we shot the first take , i’m watching them do this and lifting her skirt , they’re starting to do it and i’m like , trying to figure out what move he’s at . “oh no – okay , he just undid his zipper , okay and now he’s licking his hand – i know where this is going . ”
“we just wanted something that was fun and honest , ” haught continues . “it’s too easy to get into the studio and overdo it . we tried to keep it simple , just like we do it live . we wanted it to be an escape , like a rock show you can start and stop when you want . ”

i came across newfoundland director jordan canning at a retrospective screening of her shorts at videofag . she’s made 12 of them , spanning animated eggs in an awful breakup ( “not over easy” ) , wes anderson - indebted children’s fantasy ( “oliver bump’s birthday” ) and a stunning conversation between a shy married couple in a single overhead shot ( the first of her house series , “bedroom” ) . they floored me . when i discovered that canning’s first feature length film “we were wolves , ” was slotted to premiere at tiff on september 9th , i was excited , and curious .
the wolves , who hail from beaumont but relocated to houston a few years ago , fill a niche that has been left wanting in recent years . where edm and rap have become the norm , this band ' s brand of in - your - face rock isn’t as readily accessible as it once was . lucky for houston fans , the wolves have plans to keep howling away , and ruin your weekend is just a starter .
last october , our small but mighty cast and crew was about to start shooting at a cottage on stony lake . less than a year later , we are about to celebrate our world premiere at the 2014 toronto international film festival . we set out to tell a great story and have an amazing time doing it .

could have been around a hundred and fifty years ago , and passed through the landscape as a beaver - trapping tough with jim bridger or jedediah smith , before coal barons , before soda ash and oil , before mormons , before you could stand outside and watch satellites pass through the night sky or silhouettes kissing in warm apartment windows , when this history was wild and new , you could have just pointed and named something of permanence , a mountain , a river - - at least a creek - - after yourself . or they would have named it for you , a permanent mark , just for being here .

i know , it is very masculine ! and it’s not like i set out to make a real man’s man story , because also there’s a lot of feelings being felt . but i feel like if you’re writing a story about brothers and the kind of abusive alcoholic father who ruled them and shaped them in the men they became – and then you put them in the woods – it’s manly . but i also think it’s a film about family mythologies , like the stories we tell ourselves about who we are . that’s the bare bones of it .
when i came with my short “bedroom” in 2008 , i didn’t know what the hell i was doing . it was my first time even coming to toronto . the last few years that i’ve been able to go , save the talent lab year because we missed the first four or five days of the festival , my goal has always been to see as many movies as i can .
in the first of three interviews with canadian female directors at tiff , i spoke to canning about navigating the festival , finding confidence as a filmmaker and directing her first sex scene .
it’s a very masculine movie , which is an interesting choice for your first feature .
well peter howell wrote this really nice piece in the toronto star . he profiled our film and the new film “the good lie” by phillipe falardeau , who did “monsieur lazhar” which i loved so much . i love jean - marc vallee , i love all those french canadian guys . but i also like celeb spotting .
the performances in your film are so great . how do you work with actors ?
i used to think a lot about it , like when i went to the director’s lab at the cfc , they really hammered that in . and i read like a judith weston book on directing and the theories of it , and trying to use action verbs and bla bla bla . all that prep is great and it’s good to have it in your bones , but i find the more i’ve been doing it the more instinctually i’ve been directing . the first film i made , i didn’t even understand the concept , like “i know the actor is doing , not what i want them to do ? ”
as a female director too , it’s like , you don’t want to be demanding , but you need to get what you want .
it’s not ruling with an iron fist with your cast and crew . it’s being really competent and really open and supportive of your team so that they support you . i don’t yell in my life in general , but would certainly never yell at anyone on set . unless it was to get out of the way of a falling light . you’re fucked if you lose the faith of your crew i think it’s important to build the best team around you and then just make sure that they know how much you love them .
it’s like with a relationship , letting things fester is death . i think i’m actually better at addressing problems in work situations than i am in relationships . i also think it’s really important to know what you want . like being wishy - washy , or uncertain or expressing a lack of confidence doesn’t help anybody .
when steve was breaking down over the dad’s ashes , that was intense . his mom passed away that year . it was remarkable to be a part of that , but i wasn’t bawling at the monitor . i was more , “when i yell cut i’m gonna go in there and hug him . ”
yeah they do that in “8 mile . ” and then they’re having sex , and a certain point i was like “i don’t know when i should cut . ”
are they gonna orgasm ? i just wanted to see where it would go . so eventually peter did kind of like , “come , ” and i waited the appropriate amount of time and then i yelled cut . and all of us just burst out laughing .

ruin your weekend begins with “home , ” an uptempo rocker about avoiding isolation and the feelings of loneliness that can be associated with one’s residence . though he doesn’t consider himself to be the most social person , haught says that it’s nice to be distracted by friends and loved ones when he’s feeling down .
“sometimes the last thing that you want is to be left alone , ” haught says of the track . “you might need people around you and things to take you away from your own thoughts . being left to your own devices can sometimes be a bad thing . ”
“home” sets the pace for ruin your weekend , which doesn’t ease off for its remaining 11 minutes . the ep crashes through listeners’ headphones and stereos and forgoes the kind of polish one might expect from a studio album for rawness .

these are short stories about misfits in a small town in eastern wyoming . the main character in most stories is a school teacher who bounces from town to town after he succeeds in alienating the more proper citizens of each town he works in . the title story is about a basketball team formed in a prison that travels around the state playing other teams as a rehabilitation effort . there are also some great stories about fire fighting and impulsive drunken marriages in reno . mr . billman writes extremely well and has obviously lived many of the stories . this is his first published book ; several of the stories would definitely merit five stars . i look forward to his next book .
jon billman writes in vivid color . he has just enough detail to keep my eyes on the page , but not so much that i can ' t daydream my self into some reflective thought and ponder what it is that the story invokes for me . i especially like the sense i get of his voice in the telling ; good story tellers have this gift of the double personal . theirs and ours . billman has a knack for writing about women without making us mere backstory ; his character
ash
is the best ! if this is his first book , i look forward to the next .
i ' m giving him four stars because it ' s his first effort and i wasn ' t able to finish the book because it was an interlibrary loan .
billman has a grasp of the true west . . . . . . .
jon billman has an idea of what the true west is . not what some other writers or travelers fictionalize it to be .
i once saw jon billman eat a garlic pancake . i remained his friend despite this , and he has here turned in a great collection of stories about wyoming and environs .
since jon ' s early years - - from coloring santa claus with a black beard on a plastic dinner plate to claiming in 1980 that
cassette tapes won ' t last , 8 - tracks will be around . . .
billman ' s stories are very vivid , exciting , and fresh . i read this book with great interest and enjoyment and i can ' t wait to see more !
jon billman ' s collection of stories is a joy to read , and it resonates with an authenticity that makes a reader want to believe it all .
