13 Assassins
Perfect 95 Points 2011

13 Assassins is a perfect samurai movie, complete with the gathering of a hit-squad, an assassination-worthy villain, operatic action sequences, frequent comic relief, beautifully bucolic staging, buckets of blood and yet not a lot of gore. Action fans in general and samurai fans in particular…

Balls of Fury
Good 9 Points 2007

This movie was presented to me as a samurai movie. Let me be clear…it is NOT a samurai movie. It is basically a love story. A samurai becomes blind in his duty to the lordship. Now he must figure out how he will be able to maintain his life. His wife is pushed by his family to make some qu…

Crouching Tiger...
Really Great 5 Points

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon is not a martial arts movie, it is a love story, an epic. It reflects upon many types of love. The quiet nature of mature love, the passion and intensity of youthful love. It is a broad sweeping movie that is profound and profoundly beautiful.
