  • Aguirre, the Wrath of God

    Aguirre, the Wrath of God

    ★★★★★

    This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

    From the opening shot of the conquistadors marching across the mountain to Aguirre's final rambling speech on a raft surrounded by monkeys and corpses, Aguirre, the Wrath of God is a brilliant and endlessly compelling movie. Werner Herzog crafts a haunting and dark narrative about conquistadors on a doomed expedition for El Dorado as they descend into madness, complemented by Popol Vuh's magnificent score and Thomas Mauch's beautiful cinematography. This combination of breathtaking cinematography with the atmospheric soundtrack give the movie…

  • Gamera 3: Revenge of Iris

    Gamera 3: Revenge of Iris

    ★★★★½

    Gamera 3: Awakening of Iris is a triumph of kaiju filmmaking. While Kaneko's previous two Gamera films were great, the third and final film of his trilogy surpasses them even further.

    Golgo 13: Assignment Kowloon

    ★★★½

However, compared to its predecessor, Assignment Kowloon is quite different. Whereas the 1973 film had a methodical pace akin to the manga, the pacing here is much…

    Golgo 13

    ★★★½

    I already planned on seeing this movie at some point as a fan of the Golgo 13 franchise (particular Osamu Dezaki's Golgo 13: The Professional, the take most Americans would be familiar with), but with the hit manga and anime Dandadan reigniting interest in the film's star Ken Takakura (thanks to a running gag in the series), I finally checked it out. This film is noteworthy for two things. The first is that Ken Takakura was the direct inspiration for…

    One shot included a fan edit where Jon says the f-word and nobody involved in this film gave enough of a shit to notice. The more you know.
