I was looking to purchase some Japanese movies last night and came across this on yesasia.com
http://imdb.com/title/tt0286751/
Kairo (2001)
Japanese teens investigate a series of suicides linked to an internet webcam that promises visitors the chance to interact with the dead.
now, the plot information was somewhat similar to that on yesasia.com When I was reading it I was like oh wtf? I can think of a movie similar to this. That movie was made a year after, (and it sucked dick)

FeardotCom (2002)
Four bodies are found in New York City. Why, why, why? The coincidence? They all died 48 hours after logging on to a site named feardotcom.com...
I really hope I enjoy Kairo when I see it, it will be the only thing that can put my anger towards this aside.
What a Rip-off

oh jesus.

this one wasn't a complete rip-off since it was credited, but still, where is the originality in moving making? come on now.

The Lake House (2006)
A lonely doctor (Bullock) who once occupied an unusual lakeside home begins exchanging love letters with its newest resident, a frustrated architect (Reeves). They must try to unravel the mystery behind their extraordinary romance before it's too late.
(you know the whole mail box, two year apart relationship deal) watch the trailer if you are unfamiliar.

Siworae (2000) aka: "Il Mare" ( the OST to this movie kicks serious ass)
Eun-joo moves out of her house "Il Mare", leaving behind a Christmas card for the eventual new owner of the house in 1999. In it she asks him/her to forward any mail of hers to her new address in the city. It is 1997 and Sung-hyun, the first owner of "Il Mare" is moving in and finds in his mailbox the Christmas card from Eun-joo. Thinking it was a joke, Sung-hyun leaves her a letter telling her so and reminds her that its 1997 not 1999. Eventually the two realize that they are separated by two years of time but can somehow communicate through the mailbox and begin to form a friendship through their letters.
sorry for the rant and all, but it irritates me, not sure why.. I'd just like to see more originality when it comes to movie making these days... Have some fucking courtesy and make a movie thathasn't been made already.
/rant.
