Hard not to think of The Wind Rises as The Zero Movie, as it’s about the engineer who designed Imperial Japan’s lethal fighter – the dreaded Japanese Zero. Instead, Jirô Horikoshi gets painted in hagiographic terms in a movie nominated this year for an Oscar and a Golden Globe: Best Animate…

A dark and violent American prisoner in 1950’s postwar japan becomes affiliated with a gang in Osaka as sort of an enforcer. The main character’s role was awkward and didn’t really make sense, and even worse, parts were almost offensive as you learned what he left behind for his new life as… |

The legendary chef behind a Michelin Three Star sushi restaurant gets profiled in Jiro Dreams of Sushi. Indeed, Jiro Ono does dream of sushi, and has for most of his 85 years. Unfortunately his BioDoc is too subtle for its own good, even given its zen subject. It also focuses as much on Ji…

The movie is an interesting ‘pat ourselves on the back’ action film focusing on the team that got “Geronimoâ€. Unfortunately, it was pretty badly done, from the lackluster acting, to the haphazard story buildup. The best part was the action sequences of the raid itself, but even that was s… |

I’m torn on this as I really disliked this move. A lot. And its not because it was a poorly made movie – quite the opposite actually. This movie was very well made in every aspect. I can’t commend the film enough in the technical aspect. The storytelling was good, the acting was great and it… |
