Rambo (2008)
7/10
Full Circle!
6 March 2008
What can I say. Just watched John Rambo this evening an I was glued to my seat for the entire duration of this classic! Even after the movie had finished I was held down in my seat with my jaw still open staring at the screen contemplating on what an amazing movie I had just seen.

I say you can keep all your trash like Titanic, all your Spidermans, an most of the other expensive big budget crap that studios churn out every year. Stallone has shown that the man KNOWS what the people want. Movies that you actually ENJOY and REMEMBER! Which cant be said about most movies nowadays where you forget about the movie as soon as you walk out the cinema.

This is the best movie Stallone has ever directed and a class ending of the Rambo story.

In the first three Rambo movies, the Rambo character doesn't want to kill or harm anyone, an is pushed into killing. Here Rambo finally accepts who he is, an the skills possesses. He comes 'full circle.' We've never seen this side of Rambo in any of the previous movies. This is the killing machine that we've all heard about in the previous movies but never saw at his full capability.

The ending made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.

Have to thank Sylvester Stallone for making a really good movie. The movie does not drag for even one second.

9.5/10

Harakiri (1962)
9/10
Harakiri
8 January 2007
Well what can I say.. this 1962 movie directed by Masaki Kobayashi is one of the MOST powerful movies I have ever seen in my life! It is really a tremendous example of outstanding film making! The cinematography is absolutely exceptional! However it is the haunting plot of a samurai explaining the meaningless and worthless flawed belief of the samurai spirit which grips the viewer.

Tatsuya Nakadais mighty performance in Harakiri further proves for me, that he is without a doubt one of best actors in the history of film. This man takes on his roles with such prowess that it is easy for the viewer to forget that you have seen him play a different role in another movie.

By the way - The Criterion 2 disk DVD version is mint! An a MUST HAVE in any fans collection.
