[font=Arial][color=black]one of the joys of being home: lots of cable television, lots of movie channels.[/color][/font].

[font=Arial][color=black]ang lee directs, a 1997 film starring kevin kline, christina ricci, tobey maguire, elijah wood, et al. a direct with a true sense of nature and human's relation to nature. watching this film in the cold winter only adds to the affect. a john updike novel at 24 frames per second in a 1977 world.[/color][/font].

[font=Arial][color=black]its 1977, someone had a a bit of money, too little time and a really bad scriptwriter adapting the [i]Black Samurai [/i]novels.A blaxplotation starring jim kelly. quite possibly one the worst films i've ever seen. Nintendo video games of the 80s like [i]Double Dragon[/i] can certainly give a nod to these cult genre films of the 70s that tarantino would try to legitimize in the 90s and more recently in [i]Kill Bill[/i]. yet, I somehow find this film with deep cultural value that could not be found anywhere else than the united states of america.[/color][/font].
