Rashômon (Rashomon) (In the Woods) 4.5 Stars
I'm 26 and I just saw this for the first time.

I lost my virginity at 17.

If I could switch the two I would.

Ran (2000,  R)
Ran 4.0 Stars
This retelling of King Lear is a cornucopia of lush colors and textures. From the Kabuki theatrics to the immense & bloody battles, Ran delivers on all cylinders.

Kurosawa's deep appreciation of John Ford can be seen through out this film. His use of master shots and landscapes allows the viewer to actually understand the tactics being used in the battles. A refreshing change from the "everything's a closeup" phase current cinema seems to be in

The Sword of Doom 4.5 Stars
Ryunosuke Tatsue would f@*k Anton Chigurh in prison.

This movie is amazingly bad ass. The camera work i's like the love child of Kurosawa and Leone, simply incredible.

A must see

Samurai Assassin 3.5 Stars
Not as good as Sword of Doom, but still a beautifully directed picture. It's a little slow at times and a little hard to follow at others.

Worth seeing just for the badass snow covered final battle.
