Blind Swordman: Zatoichi

A wandering blind masseur kicks gangster ass. Plus a pair of geisha's out for vengeance, one hiding a secret. And the ronin bodyguard. Plus TWO comic relief characters. And it all ends with a giant Bollywood style dance number. No seriously. A giant dance number...

Very good, though a bit too padded with unneeded flashback sequences...

This Movie Has Not Yet Been Rated

The best parts of this documentary are probably the interviews with filmmakers, critics and others about their experiances with the MPAA. And the bits where they expose who the Ratings Board and the Appeals Board Members are. That being said, Kirby Dick (and this might be the only time I say this) should have trimmed down the stuff with the lesbian P.I. firm he worked with. I'm sure they had an interesting backstory and all, and normally I'm for as much lesbian content in a movie as possible, but in this case IT HAS NOTHING to add to the point of the documentary...
