A Beauty and the Beast story about a warrior poet man who feels unworthy of love because of his appearance.

It's absolutely no comparison to Cyrano de Bergerac - (1950 movie), so much so that I have to flag this as disliked!

A boy is saved by a mob man, and becomes an assassin as repayment only to become embroiled in the crime world.

Gentle and moody. A little cheesy and a little lame, but I still like it a lot.

  • Trailer
  • Properly titled Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai

When Harry Met Sally - (1989 movie) poster

Two acquaintances keep bumping into one another until a friendship starts; testing the scientifically-proved uncontestable fact that men and women can't be friends, which is a total fiction.

Phenomenal, even all this time later and compared to everything that was made before and since. Billy Crystal really carries this movie.

  • Trailer
  • Properly titled When Harry Met Sally...
  • TODO - My DVD dies 2/3rds in, and needs to be replaced...

In the backdrop of a mirrored Earth appearing in the sky, a woman works through the consequences of causing a horrific tragedy.

A drama through and through, and honorifically called science fiction, this is moody and slow-paced. I liked it quite a lot, not least of why is the looks of the lead character; damn.

A retired man reminisces, I guess.

It's a fantastic nothing of a movie. Recommended for people who want moving pictures with audio and optional thinking.

A mix of odd stories and fantasies that ultimately makes little sense.

Fucking weird and pointless.
