This looks like a lot of fun, (I hope they don't hurt any of the dogs though). Sure hope it gets a US release.

I'll just post a tiny comment regarding Detective K, The secret of the virtuous widow (I don't know if it's the real English title, I translated it from my French language dvd).

I'm currently watching it at this moment and I can't help but laugh almost every 10 minutes !!
