- DirectorKôsei SaitôStarsShin'ichi ChibaJun EtôMoeko EzawaJapanese soldiers time travel to feudal era. Their lieutenant allies with samurai lord to become Shogun. Both seek power through different eras' warfare.The Movie: This B-movie classic sees kung-fu legend Sonny Chiba as a present day military man who finds himself transported 400 years into the past, along with the rest of his squadron. Under attack from hordes of samurai, he joins forces with an ancient warlord and agrees to help turn the tide in war-torn Japan.
The Samurai: Yoshiaki Iba, a grunt from the Japanese army, who soon realises that modern weaponry won't be enough to outdo the skilled warriors of old. Luckily, he's also a dab hand with a samurai sword.
Why It's Great: Chiba is on fine form throughout, and even though the premise is frankly ludicrous, there are some truly excellent fight scenes on show. Definitely one to file under 'guilty pleasure'. - DirectorEthan ManiquisRobert RodriguezStarsDanny TrejoMichelle RodriguezRobert De NiroAfter being set-up and betrayed by the man who hired him to assassinate a Texas Senator, an ex-Federale launches a brutal rampage of revenge against his former boss.
- DirectorRalph HemeckerStarsYancy ButlerAnthony CistaroConrad DunnWitchblade is the story of New York detective, Sara Pezzini, whose search for justice leads her to an arcane weapon that grants her the power to battle Earth's darkest evil forces.
- DirectorJim JarmuschStarsForest WhitakerHenry SilvaJohn TormeyAn African-American Mafia hit man who models himself after the samurai of old finds himself targeted for death by the mob.The Movie: It may not be a samurai movie in the strictest sense of the word, but Jim Jarmush's tale of a solitary, sword-wielding hit man is a love letter to the genre, and a thrilling story in its own right.
The Samurai: Forest Whitaker is excellent as Ghost Dog, a pigeon-keeping mafia hit man who models himself upon the samurais of old, from his expertise with a sword to his unswerving loyalty to his master, even when said master is trying to have him bumped off.
Why It's Great: It's an excellent way of breathing new life into an old genre, as modern context aside, most of the themes on display here could have been plucked out of a samurai movie in the traditional style. Themes of duty and loyalty are at the fore, whilst Jarmusch ensures that the whole thing is punctuated by an all-pervading sense of cool. RZA's brooding score helps no end in that regard. - DirectorSteven SpielbergStarsDustin HoffmanRobin WilliamsJulia RobertsWhen Captain James Hook kidnaps his children, an adult Peter Pan must return to Neverland and reclaim his youthful spirit in order to challenge his old enemy.
