RoboGeisha

Well, this is the screening for which I'm giving up Zombieland. I suspect it's going to be RoboGeisha... and I'm right. Part geisha film, part splatter fest, part body modification, part giant robots, the film seems to be none of those things very well. And while the director warned us that he wasn't allowed to show humans spewing blood, the use instead of CG blood was downright distracting. (Though, having buildings bleed instead was novel.) Eh, given the limitations he should have shelved this script for later.

2009, directed by Noboru Iguchi

While they claim contractual obligations prevent this from being called the "world premiere", no one outside cast and crew have seen it before. That's good enough for me.
