Takashi Miike's Remake of The 1963 Samurai Classic Film is Spectacular!!

Sometimes it is hard to get access to the San Francisco International Film Festival, but I made a supreme effort to do so since this year, it is including one of my favorite film genres. Those who know me know that I am a huge fan of samurai films; both modern and classic ones. I am also a fan of Japanese director Takashi Miike, the acclaimed director of “Audition”, “Gozu” and “Ichi The Killer”. Miike is one of Quentin Tarantino’s favorite directors that … more

15 - 141mins - Action/Adventure/Drama - 6th May 2011 Being the film buff that I like to pretend I am, I am still yet to see Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai- a work that has supposedly spawned many films since and is widely regarded as one of the first films to introduce plot structures such as recruiting a group of characters to to accomplish a specific goal and having a main hero undertake a task unrelated to the main plot. 13 Assassins leans on this movie which it has clearly been … more
