Tupac: Resurrection (2003)
strange
We have this guy talking about the death of Tupac being more than a death of "smart black man". Then another guy comparing Tupac to the religious founders of Christianity, Islam, Buddhism. Then we have Left Eye saying that she totally agrees with Tupac whom she said decided to die from his wounds because "obviously there is life after death". This goes on and on and on with catchy expressions, "you know what I mean?", linked to catchy expressions, "you know what I mean?", and linked to other catchy expressions, "you know what I mean?". No, I hardly know what you mean because all I hear is a bunch of words and concepts with no clarity.
I think they were all high on something. This movie sucked so bad. I've watched a lot of documentaries and this is probably the worst ever. The sound quality is just bass, bass, and more bass; hello, if you don't have treble, the sound of speech just sounds like mumblings which is what happened here. I'm glad I saw it on DVD instead of actually paying money to see it in a theatre.
Azumi (2003)
?
A very typical Japanese samurai movie. Lots of blood and screaming and mass killings. The philosophy is the same Tarantino's used in "Kill Bill" -- do not let human emotions stand in your way of attaining your goal (I personally do not subscribed to the Japanese death cult). But I find the lead character Azumi (Aya Ueto) to be very sympathetic. And Saru (Minoru Matsumoto) provides some comic relief. The only weird thing is Azumi is supposed to be really fast but I have seen much faster swordplay in other films. I give it 6.5 stars.
Akira (1988)
comics
I was very disappointed when I saw the movie. If you read any of the volumes of Akira comics, you would be disappointed by the movie as well. The action jumps out of the pages and seems more like watching a movie than reading. I could hardly put it down. Hard to believe but true. If you didn't like this movie, get the comics (published in 6 volumes).
