Hanzo The Razor: Who's Got The Gold? (1974)

The third and final film in the Hanzo The Razor trilogy and it's pretty decent.
It's still much of the same thing with it's sex, corruption and swordplay, but still rather fun and nicely shot. I prefer the first two films, but this one is still entertaining for what it is.

Murder Party (2007)

So this is Jeremy Sauliner's (director of Blue Ruin) feature length debut and I managed to pick this up super cheap on DVD, and what we get is a pretty decent movie overall. The film sounds a lot madder than it actually ends up being but it's still quite fun.
I think that main thing that worked here was it's narrative was quite interesting and different and it seemed to poke fun at 'artists'.
There's a little bit of gore here and there and a really nice use of steadicam, as well as a fitting retro horror score. Though it's not hugely funny for a horror comedy, it managed to keep me engaged throughout and worked well most of the time.

Why Don't You Play In Hell? (2013)

Sion Sono is one of my top favorite film makers and here he delivers another mad dose of brilliance. a film that is over the top and ridiculous but masterfully kept together, a homage and celebration of Gonzo cinema that is exceedingly fun and engaging. A film about film-making that seemingly ridicules the idea of realism. It has a great cast, great directing, is nicely shot, and I loved it.

The Hourglass Sanatorium (1972)

Here's a great strange polish film for you with great set design and some really nice tracking shots. It's very dreamlike and surreal in approach and kept me constantly engaged, even when I didn't quite understand what was going on.
Tthe film flows through each scene quite seamlessly and stays consistent with its tone and atmosphere, and quite alot of the dialogue also comes a cross as rather poetic.
All in all, it's very unique film that I thoroughly enjoyed. It's intricate, surreal and simply great.

Bad Neighbours (2014)

This film is simple, effective and very funny. It does it's job of just being a fun comedy exceedingly well. All the actors have good chemistry and there's never really a dull moment. It was also fun seeing Craig Roberts in a small role. The plot is pretty standard though and if you're not into Seth Rogen's type of comedy, then your probably not gonna like this. But overall I found this thoroughly entertaining and funny for what it was.

Plastic (2014)

I didn't expect much from this when I saw the trailer,  I thought that maybe it could be a little fun, but it wasn't much fun at all. One of the problems is that the main characters are a bunch of fraudsters that have hardly any interesting traits, so in my eyes they are just a bunch of dickheads that I couldn't care less about (not helped by the fact that I once had my debit card stolen). Also, I'm not entirely sure what sort of tone they were going for but the whole thing just comes across as bland really.
It also pointlessly opens with a shot from the end with narration over the top, a cliche that hardly ever works, especially here. The film does pick up a bit before the end, but the entire thing is just pretty standard and meh.

Kamui The Lone Ninja (2009)

So this was ok I guess, it's a little messy, with lots of dodgy CGI, and at times, it's a little dull. But the film still has it's moments (Kamui's super german suplexes) and it's not awful, just rather underwhelming.
