A masterpiece!



Park Chan-wook you little Devil, I love you





Another great Kihachi Okamoto work!



A beautiful Yamada work! This is one of the best samurai movies ever!
Hiroyuki Sanada (The guy who kicked Tom Cruise's butt in The Last Samurai) was great in his role! The soundtrack by Isao Tomita was great too.



My journey through Hideo Gosha's filmography continues.


Watched the first 3 films in the Lone Wolf and Cub franchise by Kenji Misumi:

Lone Wolf and Cub: Sword of Vengeance

Lone Wolf and Cub: Baby Cart at the River Styx

Lone Wolf and Cub: Baby Cart to Hades


Nothing is better than blood spray

I would like to see Samurai Assassin^^dont know how I missed that one.

Anyway...

Ghost in the Shell (2017) - , maybe

Not exactly good, but my feelings about it are complicated enough to potentially warrant a return to reviewing.

This was played in the theatre last night, and I happened to catch it and saw it for the very first time.

A true classic.

I didn't have high expectation due to the fact that this is a sequel of a classic.

It turned out to be very solid good, glad to see those characters are back to action.

I don't care about sh*tting on a movie I don't like, but don't think I didn't have your coming reaction in my mind when I didn't like this at all either. I really hoped so, especially since the opening reverse slow-mo credits scene was kind of beautiful and fitting for the genre. They kind of ruined that by playing it back again but whatever...

Anyways, I have come this far. I see no reason not to finish the series while there is still only, supposedly, this final chapter left. At least I can do that in your honor, Iro.

I can't wait to see this. I too didn't have high expectations but from the reviews and the trailer I looks good

I picked this randomly off the Cannes' winners list. It's got an 8.1 IMDb rating, 100% Totton Tomatoes, and was an influence to legendary director Martin Scorsese. I have struggled to connect with many of the films from the Italian neorealist era, and this was no exception. I liked the story involving a resistance fighter trying to evade the Germans, but my interest only went so far despite some good moments. As with a lot of older foreign movies, I enjoyed being thrown into another time and place. That was the best thing about the movie for me, although there was nothing specific about it that I disliked.

Angst vor der Angst - 6.5/10

The RE films are guilty pleasures for me. I enjoyed Retribution, it's borderline self-parody and entertaining for what it is.

Also Sienna Guillory, yum

I can totally understand that. The self parody was obvious but still I didn't really connect with.

For me, I love the F&F movies and the self parody aspect is one I have come to really enjoy as well, so different franchise same principles.

The RE films are so far gone from the original flick. Each one has given diminishing returns for my interest. The one where they brought everyone back and it was a simulation or something really was dire.

Suspect's Reviews

Yep. That was the one I just sat through.

Afterlife is the worst one, where they're in a tower and we're introduced to squid zombies and a big dude with an axe. Most egregious is the incredibly lame fight with Whitaker aka Cardboard Villain with Sunglasses who frowns a lot. Even watching it ironically while intoxicated it's really bad.

The one you're referring to, Retribution, was better in my opinion because it played like a greatest hits compilation of previous films, and in many ways seemed to poke fun at them. It's bad but fun.

But in both films, what really annoys me are the gimmicky 3D effects. Oh wow, a slo-mo shot of Alice with glass flying at the audience, talk about eye-rolling. It's supposed to be a movie not a theme park ride.

Anyway, I genuinely love the first three RE flicks, especially the second one. It's a hoot.

Now that makes me sad. I thought that was a great movie.
