Score, cinematography, and color. This movie is nothing short of a masterclass in all three of them. I need to rewatch Seven Samurai but this is likely my favorite Kurosawa. I cannot think of a single battle scene in any war movie that compares to the castle siege in Ran. (D-day in Saving Private Ryan, The Valkyries in Apocalypse now, and the opening scene of Gladiator are all awesome but they all fall short of Ran). It completely caught me…

My go to recommendation and probably my favorite movie ever. Brilliant at being devastating and hilarious.

Swing Girls 2004
Wow what a finale. I think I was sitting around 4 stars for this movie (reasoning being that the vibe was definitely unique and fun but just not necessarily for me the whole time) but the finale definitely bumped it up a peg. Some of the comedic moments paid off while others fell a little short. The evolution of all the girls was very enjoyable to watch and I loved the music uniting the group together. I love the idea…

King Kong 1976
This movie was absolutely full of pros and cons. Some really great moments coupled alongside some pretty bad ones. Jessica Lange's character was among the worst written female characters I've seen in a movie. Though that could be annoying, it also led to some unintentionally funny moments (her asking Kong his zodiac sign). Action and tension was pretty good throughout and overall a solid monster movie.
