A girl is digitized, becoming a valuable commodity for people seeking power and immortality.
This might be interesting for fans of science fiction history, but it's dumb in too many places for me to enjoy it.
If you end up watching this, here are my edited Andromedia subtitles.

A special agent combat-cyborg pursues a cyber criminal who comes to have a special interest in her.
Although I like it, I suspect it's because I like the original so much and I can't be unbiased. I also think Scarlett is hot.
I became even more interested in seeing this movie in light of the incorrectly-supposed-whitewashing of the lead character. Antisocial injustice is actually pretty good at recommending things.
Remade from the animated movie Ghost in the Shell - (1995 movie)

Upon hearing of his master's death, a man returns to Shanghai amidst tensions from its Japanese occupation, and learns there was foul play.
Quite a good movie, with all the basic elements. There's next to none of the B-movie cheese that's pervasive of such films, so it's good enough for everyday people.

A spectacular movie. Youthful but with a balance of fantasy spectacle and horror.

Some Japanese guys are in a prison.
I have no idea what's going on with this, but after nearly a half an hour I'm just going to give up.
