Just a little warning to anyone living in Britain - Battle Royale is on tonight on Film4, at 11:10 PM. If you haven't heard of it (you at the back - wierdo.), it's a controversial Japanese thriller. It's the near future, and in Japan, crime is at an all time high, and teenagers are getting out of control. In a last ditch attempt to fix the country, the government creates the Battle Royale Act. Put simply, this means that a random class of 15 year olds is kidnapped by the government, sent to a secret location, and forced to kill each other. One "winner" is left alive, with no prize: they are simply proof that the government is fed up. It's quite different to the book and Manga series, but still brilliant. So, if you've got Film4, for the love of god, watch it!
