Crows Zero II – Review

Crows Zero II requires a suspension of belief, but that’s one of the reasons it’s such a fun experience. It is a wonderful sequel with even more violence than the first movie, however Takashi Miike is not at the top of his game with this film, and you can tell that he was not totally behind creating a sequel but without a doubt still worth checking out.

Death Note – Review

Death Note is based on the popular manga and loosely based on the anime series of the same name.

This is not Kurosawa’s best film, but it is still a classic, and I highly recommend this to fans of Japanese or Samurai films, and anyone who appreciates world cinema…

Which seems to be more commonplace on the site nowadays, this is another serious drama movie. From start to finish the film wraps itself around you, absorbing you in the everyday aspects of life we might normally consider mundane. The director hardly ever moves the camera, but there’s nothing static about Still Walking…

Departures – Review

The way to approach this film is with tempered expectations, so that the film can touch you in its journey that is both surprising and pleasurable.
