Seeing as Angela was away I had a chance to watch Zatoichi without
any disturbance from questions all the way through or fidgetting away
from all the scenes of swordplay. I thought it was a really good movie
with a good storyline that had some twists. It wasn't overly stylised
in the fight scenes. It just got back to basics. There was humour as
well and I found myself laughing out loud to daft comic things.
If you want the DVD you can get Zatoichi from Amazon UK but I got mine from CD-WOW which can be great for Asian movies.
I also got Hero and The House of Flying Daggers from CD-WOW. Those are good movies too and carry on the heritage from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in terms of action and cinematography. Unfortunately too much cinematography can get in the way if it is to mask a weak storyline. Probably not the case in these two instances.
