Dororo - Drunk Monk - 01-21-2013
This flick had almost everything I look for in Japanese cinema - swordfights, tokusatsu, surreal demons, creepy baby ghosts, sword hotties, samurai family politrix and a Frankenstein-Edward-samurai-sword-hands hero. No bollywood numbers sadly - if it had that, I would have really enjoyed this. It's very anime, but it's live action. The special effects are okay, good enough for this at least, as it's not a flick that takes itself too seriously. I was loving the demon hunting sequences and my only criticism is that they sort of fell to the wayside towards the end when the family issues arose. But the film kept me amused throughout, especially the running joke about getting spattered with blood.
They need to make a sequel. It's totally set up for a sequel. It's based on an old manga, which was apparently made into an anime series in the late 60s. There's talk of a Hollywood remake, but so far, it's only talk.
