An Exploration of Revenge, Individuality and Honor in the Face of an Oppressive Tradition

Most of my friends and those who have followed my reviews know how rare it is that I award a perfect score to a film be it an American or foreign film. Such an honor means that a film had truly made an impression on me and had given me an experience that I may never forget in cinema.

The film is, by and large, … more

A Quick Tip by woopak_the_thrill

After Takashi Miike’s “13 Assassins” which was an amazing remake of the 1960’s original, Miike is now poised to make another mark in a new era of chambara and Jidai geki films.
