Wasabi- New Luc Besson film with Jean Reno
Some of you probably know this already... 
But, Wasabi -starring Jean Reno and directed by Luc Besson appears to be in theaters now? (I say 'appears' because I can't read French).
Here's the official movie site: Wasabi
There are mini-trailers all over the site. You have to explore and find them all...
Looks like a comedy/drama to me... I want to see it.
Cheers,
Gabe

...you will(?)/may(?) also have to think about the fact that the French DVD
of Wasabi carries no subtitles, in any language, not even French...

I like Wasabi. Ever have a contest with people at your table to see who can hold it in the longest before the eyes start tearing...
Hee. Yeah, I am gonna have to order it too.

So anyone care to post a review of any of the DVD's that you own of it. This one recently interested me and would like some opinions!!

Got the Winson DVD and, though not anamorphic, the picture is quite nice and the DTS sounds excellent as well. The movie itself is pretty damn enjoyable, kind of a Leon-lite type feel to it, but leaning toward a more comedic side (wasn't too sure what to expect after seeing Reno punch someone in the opening club scene who literally goes flying across the room). Reno is excellent as usual and the supporting players do a fine job as well. I found the Japanese girl to be a little grating at first, but she grows on you as the film goes on. Recommended and a must-buy for Reno/Besson fans.
