Rupan sansei: Kariosutoro no shiro (1979)
A Great Anime Film by Miyazaki
When I first decided to watch this, I was unfamiliar to the director's other works and only wanted to watch this because it has Lupin III in it. As the film went on, I discovered that the Lupin in this movie isn't the exact same Lupin in the T.V. series, but a more serious one. Sure the film is pretty much light-hearted, but we see an unfamiliar side to Lupin than the one in anime (or at least to my knowledge). The man who directed this movie, Miyazaki, was one of the main animators/ directors of the Lupin III series and is the director of Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away and I consider him to be one of the greatest directors of our time. His unique way a delivering a story is a rare gem in the coal mine that is the movie industry (which includes animated and non-animated movies). The ending of this movie is a touching (a word I don't use much) and wonderful ending. Just be sure to get a newer one on DVD, where they use the actual name of Lupin instead of "Wolf", which Lupin is a direct translation of from French (I think).
Day of the Dead (1985)
This is good!
Even though this movie isn't as good as Dawn of the Dead, this movie still rocks! The effects in this movie are actually good, even though it is kinda crude, but it was thankfully made with out that computer crap. The plot is excellent, the effects very good, and the acting is also excellent. And (spoilers) the way Bub "evolves" from a mindless creature to an avenging sharp shooter shows how it fits into the new Romero film. Many people don't appreciate this film due to it's the greatness that is Dawn of the Dead, but I guess some people just can't recognize great directing and screen-writing. I give it two thumbs WAY up! And I can't wait until Land of the Dead comes out!!!
