i've been studying this guy for a theory project on my a level film and video course and he;s bloody amazing

check out what he's done over the years

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001429/

he;s also written over 50 books from novels to film crits

he's damn amazing lol

most of you will probably recognise him fromm the battle royale films but i strongly suggest you go and buy his films simply because they are just brilliant biggrin

zatoichi is a fooking brilliant film.

the old series of flicks (not takeshi) is a wicked story too if anyone's completely addicted (like i used to be redface).

i'm pretty much studying japanese films on my own as i failed my film studies class cuz i wasnt too interested in finding out about hollywood film industry or british film industry

it was interesting for w a while but...yeh

i have watched alot of takeshi kitano films and loads of asian films simply because im utterly obsessed with alot of asian things....WOOH

i think the old series of zatoichi did get a bit repetative towards the last film in 89 but they were a good laugh lol

i'm sure everyones seen the classic seven samurai film and lots more of akiras work.....genius

anyone a takashi miike fan?
ichi the killer audition etc

and how about kim ki duk a korean director, if you havent seen any of his films go rent 3 iron....AMAZING stuff

oh and keep your eyes on the video section as i'm releasing another video soon
