OK. Beat Takeshi : Sonatine has to be the most surreal film I've seen this year.

On another note Zatoichi we breathtaking.

Damn straight on both counts. Esp. love the scene where Beat's henchmen are doing funky sumo impressions on an Okinawan beach.

That was hysterical. I really enjoyed the Roman candle wars, we use to do that on the beach when I was in College. It brought back many scorched, smoky memories. I miss the days of screaming “You’ll shoot your eye out!”

The choreography in Zatoichi was spectacular! The camera angles and tempo captured the sword work beautifully. I also want to track down the sound track. The way it was incorporated into the scenes is something I have not seen/heard before.

Hey bro! On a related note, Criterion is releasing Sword of Doom on DVD in March!
