Azumi (2003)
A well-executed romp
Not intended to be an accurate reference to feudal Japan, this flick is great fun and worth a watch. The characters have been modeled after some modern-day Anime characters and video game heroes, and the film itself felt like a paradoxic mix between the styles of "Kinji Fukasaku" and "Akira Korosawa" to me. A mix of Japanese pop-culture set in old Japan.
The camera-work was pretty good and the soundtrack fitting. The characters were sufficiently surreal to be unbelievable, but well suited to the genre.
The is a must see!
The Beach (2000)
Surprising movie.
Against initial resistence to see the film, I eventually did see it, and was pleasantly surprised.
I'm not going to re-state what was said by other people, just that I agree and want to add only this:
The movie had elements of two movies in particular: Lord of the Flies, and Heart of Darkness.
If you liked these movies, then this one is an interesting watch.
Men in White (1998)
It is NOT one of the worst movies.
Well, not yet, at least.
It's not listed in the worst 100...
So let's all team up, and put it in it's rightful place.
This is truly a bad movie. (And I liked Ishtar!) ;)
Dead Man (1995)
My best movie ever (for now)
This movie does to Neil Young what 'Last Temptation of Christ' did for Peter Gabriel.
It is an awesomely beautiful film, which has some dark, as well as some light moments.
A must see.
Nobody (who also appear in Jarmusch's latest film as 'Nobody') was both funny and profound.
This movie puts Depp firmly into a high regard (once again).
