My Death Note Article on Wired.com

I wrote a short article about the movie Death Note for Wired.com:

Death Note is a live-action sci-fi movie about a notebook that kills anyone whose name is written inside it. In the past year, the original manga upon which the movie is based -- which was previously adapted as an anime, a novel and a two-part TV series -- has been linked to bullying cases in China and Virginia, and an unsolved murder in Belgium in which the killer claimed to be a character from the franchise.
"It's not the kind of movie that parents would encourage their kids to watch," says Shusuke Kaneko, Death Note's director.

i saw this in emeryville last night, did you go? it was horribly sloppy! it was dubbed which made it hilarious and there were no subtitles for japanese text. i'm sure it would have been better without the cheesy dubbed voices.
