Wild Zero, over-rated, really glad I netflixed it as I was going to buy it. Probably give it a 2.5 out of 5, maybe just a 2.

The (in)famous Battle Royale. Unfortunately, the version I saw was a Korean region-free disc, possibly a bootleg, and the subtitles were... not that good. Otherwise the movie was pretty damn good, with a very interesting premise full of social commentary that viewers unfamiliar with Japanese culture may miss. Overall: 7/10

The Sword of Doom, a truly excellent film. Tatsuya Nakadai simply dominates the film, which is quite a feat considering that his costar was the great Toshiro Mifune. Nakadai gives what is quite possibly the most compelling portrait of pure evil I've ever seen in a film. Many critics try to draw comparisons between this film and Kurosawa's samurai epics, but even at his very darkest (Throne of Blood, Kagemusha) Kurosawa was never this grim. Oh, and the sword fights were great as well. I really can't recommend this one enough. 10/10

I LOVE Sword of Doom, there, had to say it. The last Asian movie I saw was Peace Hotel. Good story with poor translation, I'd give it a 6.5/10.

In short better than Whispering Corridors but still not great. Read my full review at www.docticktock.com
