Mannaja - A Man Called Blade
Great violent as fuck spaghetti western, not much different than other violent spaghetti westerns other than the use of hatchets. Can't go wrong with these kind of movies.
i've been meaning to watch this one for a while. scored a first edition LP of the soundtrack a while back.
Surprisingly they have it for rent on iTunes. It's definitely worth a watch. (btw I know you are a soundtrack guy... I recently picked up the new Last House on Dead End Street LP and it's fucking incredible)
a few recent watches:
Awesome. quite possibly my favorite traditional Western (of the non-spaghetti variety). Superb acting and visually incredible. A+
Eh... sub-par corrupt cop thriller that takes place during the Rodney King verdict/riots. Kurt Russel is awesome as always, but terrible acting (Korrupt and Master P cameos) and the always annoying "gangsta whiteguy" drags it down. D
Pretty awesome and violent modern Western... cliche as hell and totally by-the-numbers spaghetti style, but still a fun watch. 92 minutes which is the perfect length for a movie in my opinion. Also stars French mega-babe Eva Green. Oui Oui. B
Has anybody else seen this? I guess I deserve it for watching anything that has to do with M Night Shyamalan, but I had read this was surprisingly good... but holy fuck this is hands down the worst movie I've ever seen. So bad it makes me wonder how anybody in their right mind could give it a good review (I'm convinced anybody on IMDB who gave it more than 1 star is just his secretary creating hype).
Even if it had been really scary (it wasn't) and well acted (it wasn't) and well written (it wasn't), the 12 year old lispy bowl cut white kid who raps on screen more than a few times would be enough to make me wanna gouge my eyes out. The only thing surprising is how this movie got made and how Shyamalan gets any work at all. Fuck that guy. F-
