Casshern (product link) Action/Adventure / Science Fiction This has to be, without a doubt, the most boring japanese film I have ever had the displeasure of viewing. Calling the plot convoluted is an understatement akin to calling the planet Jupiter big. I own literally hundreds of Japanese films on DVD, and this is the worst of the bunch. I found myself looking at my watch to find out how much longer this piece of dreck was going to last. The pacing of this film is so languid, it makes Stanley Kubrick's "Barry Lyndon" look like a Jason Statham film by comparison.
If you are impressed solely by visuals, put a shiny ribbon on a turd instead. You will know what its like to watch this film and you will save yourself money and 2.5 hours of time you can never get back. I am giving it zero stars because I can think of absolutely nothing to recommend it. Avoid this at all costs.

When one is incredibly brilliant, ribbons on turds lose their charm. Although a substandard film, "Casshern" has more to offer: plot, acting and action.
I guess one would have to understand Japanese to truly appreciate this film. However, I'm not, and I enjoyed this movie very much. The music and the imagery is beautiful, as is the message of the film in its entirety, OH! And the visuals were kick-ass!!!
Carry On Emmannuelle (product link) Comedy / Romance Got this out of nostalgia for the old "Carry On..." movies. Nostalgia didn't hold my interest, though. The actors were getting on when this was shot; and, well, it's English.

It's one of their weakest. Not as bad as Carry on Columbus, but still poor. I recommend Carry on Up the Khyber and Carry on Screaming.
