Production design and costume design are awful. Script is horrendous. Cinematography and editing is pretty dumb in some parts. Acting sucks all around, not just because of the material. 


I guess I've become desensitized to a lot of it. *shrug*

Kumonosu-jo AKA Throne of Blood (1957)

I don't know if was because of my unfamiliarity with feudal Japanese culture - or the fact that my dogs/stupid family members were distracting me with all their damn commotion - but I had a hard time following the story. The cinematography was good, though - I was especially fond of the scenes with the forest spirit.

7/10

Shichinin no Samurai AKA Seven Samurai (1954)

I loved the characterization, the performances, and the direction. But Lord, is this movie LONG - especially when you're watching late at night; I can't help but feel that the film could have been streamlined with a fair bit of trimming.

8/10
