01:04: completely missed cinemanila this year... except for one movie that i just had to see.
if you've ever wondered what it would be like to see the animated carnage from rurouni kenshin in live action, then go see kitano's take on zatoichi. just what "zatoichi" means, i have yet to ask lola ayako. i'll leave a footnote when i find out.
the movie was a bit mainstream, but good. some of the humor is a tad off,but still enjoyable. or maybe my friends and i are just so sick that we find it funny when someone loses some fingers. hehe. nice fight scenes, though. not too dramatic. clean and quick. a lot of gore, but not as exaggerated as kill bill. que battousai!
i didn't think i would enjoy the movie, considering what i had to go through, dealing with inconsiderate cabbies during rush hour just to get to greenbelt on time before the final screening. but man, it was worth it.
i would love to have my own dvd copy of this, if only for the festival scene. and the fight scenes, of course.
