  Star Trek Beyond 2016

  ★★★ Watched 21 Jul 2016

  It's like an episode of TOS in JJ-Trek style minus Space Jesus blood and lens flare. I'm alright with that.

  Samurai Rebellion 1967

  ★★★★★ Watched 13 Apr 2016

  Excellent for pretty much the same reasons as Harakiri. It makes a great companion piece from the point of view of the ruling class being fucked over by those even higher in the ruling order in the name of tradition and "honor." The ending for Harakiri hit me harder, but that takes nothing away from the powerful and emotionally stirring/anger inducing ending to this film. Also, I don't care that Mifune's character forgave him, Bunzo is a little bitch

  The Witch 2015

  ★★★★ Watched 22 Feb 2016

  Uncompromising horror story told with eerie and brilliant imagery. When I realized what the film was actually about I loved it even more.
