A dazzling and beautiful anime.<br />- Battle Royale. A classic. Compelling and poignant in it's own way.<br />- The Twilight Samurai. A period piece/historical drama. Via wikipedia: 'The Twilight Samurai won an unprecedented 12 Japanese Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Screenplay'.<br />- Promare. When you want to have the most fun you've had in a long time, check out Promare. It made me feel like a little kid again. The movement, the music, the crescendos (!), the sheer energy and love for what they are doing (Studio Trigger - they are probably making the most ambitious animation in the world right now) comes right through the screen and into your brain. Unmissable.. yet no one I know has seen it. <br /><br />And many many more but those are some quick recommends.Reubenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02820253302509862897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-46357726109639488982023-01-20T09:45:03.869-06:002023-01-20T09:45:03.869-06:00Baby Cart At The River Styx might be the most styl...Baby Cart At The River Styx might be the most stylish of the Lone Wolf and Cub series. (I still have not seen the 5th and 6th films yet.) <br /><br />After giving Caged Heat a couple of chances to grow on me, I am in your camp about it, Anthony. The serious tone of a lot of the film gives me the impression that Jonathan Demme did not want to be making an exploitative WIP film. Comparing it Jack Hill's prison films of the time, there is not as much fun to had watching Caged Heat. It does have a great exploitation cast, though.
