Black Dynamite
It's a great spoof of the blaxploitation movies from the 70's.
The plot is incoherent, obvious mistakes that were intentional (bad editing, boom mike visible etc.), horribly good dialogue and monologue and great action scenes. It's a very tight movie as it is only about 1 hour and 10 minutes. lol
If you love spoof movies this is about as good as they get, a very safe rent, watch it with friends to get the most of it.
7/10
Ichi The Killer
I didn't get it I guess, none of the character were likeable and I didn't understand them either. The music was all over the place, as the music didn't seem to add to the story and it felt detached from it. Nothing wrong with that, Scorsese has done it before just to give a sense of the enviroment and culture of that particular world without it necessarily adding to the story of a scene for example. The gore way over the top in some cases, but a few violent scenes did indeed seem realistic which frightened me sometimes.
I really didn't get the ending, if I remember correctly Rob71 is a big fan of this? If you're reading this feel free to shed some light please
[Show spoiler]Kakihara wanted somebody worthy enough to kill him? But didn't find satisfaction with Ichi and daydreamed of Ichi killing him and then commit suicide?
Was it Jijii that hanged himself in the end?
This is not something I'd recommend to anybody, fans of this sort of movie will discover it for themselves, as I understand it it is a cult favourite.
5/5
