On a Saturday afternoon, one usually doesn’t put in a 2+ hour black-and-white Japanese samurai drama from the early 60s… or most people don’t, anyway. But I have a feature to do here, and this will actually be my final […]

The trailer for this was awesome. It was meta and goofy and just seemed to be having all sorts of fun. I was really excited to check this out. But was it worth hyping myself up for it? The film […]
