Yojimbo is Kurosawa's quintessential action/dramedy, and it effervesces with witty dialogue and heart palpitating tension. While being entertaining, as a Kurosawa fan I do often see this as one of his films that tends to lack in poignancy, with th... Read the full review »

Red Beard is definitely a change of pace for legendary director Kurosawa, trading in his patented affinity for movement and violence with a different kind of human suffering - that of poverty and sickness. Yasumoto's character arc from vanity to s... Read the full review »

A Fantastic Woman is a shockingly timely look at adversity, and how sometimes fighting against it does not yield any results if your environment is not receptive to your pain. The lead performance is stellar, and the bombardment of injustice will... Read the full review »

In Bruges (2008) added to Top 10 - 2008 list.

In Bruges is one of the most brilliant movies of the 21st century, seamlessly weaving a story of violence, sin, regret and isolation with a comedic story of two men stranded in a place completely out of their comfort zone. With a career best perfo... Read the full review »

Despite some genuinely intriguing themes and interesting sci-fi concepts, Jupiter Ascending gets bogged down by minutia and an overly complex plot. The tonal inconsistencies compounded with a genuine inability to relay information properly create... Read the full review »

Memories of Murder is a masterclass in blocking for cinematic effect. Bong Joon-Ho channels his inner Kurosawa, using expert staging and a variety of varying perspectives to tell this story of murder and desperation. Song-Kang Ho is incredible, an... Read the full review »
