This I wholeheartedly second. An unique tale. Enjoy!

Zatoichi & the chest of gold

Zatoichi heads to a village to pray at the grave of a man he killed in error. While this is going on a gang rob a money train carrying the gold that represents the yearly taxes of the village. A robin-hood like gang of Yakuza are framed and killed off for the crime however it emerges its actually the work of a corrupt magistrate. Enraged Zatoichi heads off for justice. We also get the star of Lone wolf & cub appear as another master swordsman Z must defeat.
Its a frentic and fast paced Samurai flick and another great entry in the series.

Zatoichis flashing sword

After getting shot in the back, Zatoichi is rescued by the daughter of a kind hearted Yakuza boss. Z heads to his house to say thanks and ends up helping him against the machinations of a black hearted rival boss. Infuriated by the advantage Zatoichi provides his rival he manages to persuade the knd hearted boss to send Z packing. Once out of the way he moves in with his gang and exterminates his rivals in one fell swoop. Unfortunately for him Zatoichi figures things out and heads over to exterminate the villain and all his henchmen!
The final showdown in this is actually one of the most thrilling, visually exciting piece of cinema i've seen in a while. It moves from Zatoichi extinguishing the lights as he kills off various henchmen and then proceeds to an extended, above view single take of Z murdering his way down a corridor as fireworks explode overhead illuminating the frame. This is possibly one of the best Zatoichi films so far for me.

Fight zatoichi, fight!

Zatoichi gets to show a more sensitive side as he must escort a baby to its father. All the while pursued by assassins constantly attempting (and failing) to kill the blind masseur. On the way he picks up a female sneak thief and they form a sort of surrogate family. Somewhat more sleight and certainly not as viscerally thrilling Zatoichi's flashing sword, this one is probably more character driven and emotional and richer in human drama. It's great, but lacks the buzz of the previous films climax.

Few years back the missus and i did a juice diet for a few weeks. Wife got given a book by a work colleague all about nutrition and such and advocating the benefits of juicing fruit and veg. Had a lot of interesting points about a normal diet, things we take for granted and one things that stuck with me was how humans are the only beings on earth that drink the breast milk of another creature.

So what? Who cares? We also eat eggs that come out of creatures' bottoms and things that grow out of the ground, how weird is that?!

Modern society.

Modern society.

Interestingly, as a species we adapted to drinking milk as a survival mechanism. The ability to drink milk into adulthood is something we evolved. The properties the guy in the video is talking about is one of the reasons.
Living on this earth, other things must die for us to exist. Vegetables, which actually show some signs of sentience in terms of survival mechanisms and screams of pain when picked, Yeast in bread, the insects we tread on and not realise. If I were ever to become a vegetarian (and I've actually considered it.) It would be for health reasons not moral ones. We have a symbiotic relationship to the creatures we eat, their survival as a species relies on this link. If we stopped eating meat and drinking milk the cattle population would be decimated after a few harsh winters.

Personally as a drink you can keep your milk. Vile stuff. But if you go taking cheese of me, now see then we'd have a problem. As for eggs, well I'm ok with them as long as i don't spend too long considering what they actually are.

Tillie and Gus (1933) Not one of W.C Fields' best and a fair amount of the comedy in this seems really forced unlike that performed by Laurel and Hardy who for me are the better comedy actors, however it still provided a laugh or two.

Cherry 2000 (1987)



So '80s it hurts. But in a good way.
