Review of Branded to Kill (1967) by Asim D — 28 Jan 2004

Here are some great flicks I watched recently but haven't been able to write a proper review for.

[b]Warm Water Under a Red Bridge:[/b] A joyous celebration of sex, the female orgasm, and how they directly relate to the happiness of ones live. Filled with ribald humor, beautiful cinematography, and charming performances. A movie that will make it's way onto many peoples personal favorites lists. 9/10.

[b]Branded to Kill:[/b] Demented, delerious, humorous, violent, exploitative, entertaining? A odd blend of Yakuza gangster cliches and filled with stylistic flourishes that still feel ahead of their time -- it was originally released in 1967. Seijun Suzuki's perverse tale of Killer No. 3 is an incomprehensible masterpiece from a director that is truly in a realm of his own. (9 out of 10).

[b]High Fidelity:[/b] Stephen Frears direction of Nick Horby's novel is refreshingly offbeat, has great dialogue, fantastic music, and a general jovial spirit that is hard to ignore. The cast wonderfully imbues each of their characters with distinctive quirks and dispositions. And no one plays relatable and likeable losers like John Cusack. (7 out of 10).
