Samurai Banners (1969). This was truly a masterpiece of a movie which rivals samurai movies such as Ran and even Kagemusha in its epic qualities. First and foremost, Mifune's dreamy, ruthless, and tragic character was developed incredibly well. The cinematoraphy was splendid. The score-wonderful. The story itself was a marvelous military romance. Truly an awe-inspiring flick. Ashe.

Cello (2005). Another splendly rich and twisted Korean flick. The story itself was perfectly tormented, with enough side stories to keep ya guessing. The acting was solid. The score was beautiful, as it should be for such a title. The typical Korean method to reveal the back plot was effectively utilized. The scare factor of this one was more holistic as opposed to being piece-meal. And while the ending threatened to be cheesy, it came back around to instead offer a nice surprise (though the very last scene was unnecessary). Ashe.

Buppah Rahtree AKA Flower of the Night (2003) Mostly hilarious, sometimes creepy or downright scary, and occassionally silly, this Thai Ghost story was a playful delight. The premise was simple- a girl dies in an apartment and refuses to leave by literally fighting off those that come to remove her corpse. There is more to it than that of course. The story is decent enough, and the ending was decent as well. The side characters were just goofy, which only added to the fun. Ashe.

Red Beard (1965). Another Kurosawa masterpiece, this one centering on the rough road that takes a young doctor from self-centered arrogance to selfless compassion. Mifune's performance was outstanding as the young doctor's mentor. Ashe.

Mezzo Forte (2001). Didn't know cartoons could be so hot. My first stab at japanimation turned out to be perfectly violent and steamy. Ashe.

Cinderella (2006). Decent enough Korean flick. i had a hard time keeping up with this movie, but i guess i got caught up when it started to drag on. Not up to par with other movies from Korea, but still might be worth a watch. Seems that this one followed the standard formula for Korean movies to a T, which is started to get a little stale. Ashe.

Sansho the Bailiff (1954). Beautiful and tragic, this film is set in feudal Japan. The main issues here center on human rights, or lack thereof, as seen as the treatment of peasants as less than human and therefore validating their use as slaves. Sacrifice and perseverence are also huge elements of this incredible flick. The cinematogaraphy was sublime. Ashe.
