Ichi the Killer is not for the faint at heart. Grotesque images and taboo themes continuously flood the screen. Miike wants to make the audience feel uncomfortable and he is successful at doing so. Through a very stylized film and the addition of comic elements, the feeling of uncomfortableness is part of the experience.
In some way, Miike presents a real-life superhero/anime movie. Certain aspects are exaggerated (such as the art direction) creating a step away from realism, but it is the characters that bring it back into reality. The acting is excellent. Ichi and Kakihara are psychologically interesting characters and steal every scene they are in.
Watch it. The movie is 2 hours of engrossment and will definitely cause a reaction.

The Office (US version) is a fantastically hilarious comedy. Season 2 is the prime gem and virgin Office watchers should start with season 2 because season 1 is a word-for-word copycat of the UK version.
The Office is a great, great, great, great, great show. It's filled with hilarious characters and witty writing. Being in an office has never been so funny. The thing that makes The Office so great is its truthfulness. Yes, personalities are sometimes exaggerated but that's what comedy is all about. Everyone who works in an office can relate to at least one character on the show. I know a Kelly and a Pam but sadly no Jim.
Whether you're looking for a love story, slapstick humor, witty bantering or ridiculousness, The Office has got it all. Several of the actors are even on the series' writing staff. I would highly recommend watching the extras on The Office DVDs because you'll understand just how talented and creative a bunch they are.
