Thread for movies that yousee nrecentely that don't warrant a whole thread/aren't new.
Mostly cause I watched Ghost Dog last night and fuck all movies that aren't Ghost dog. It's the kind of movie the stylish violence/Tarantino crowd wish they could make.
Forest Whitaker is an assasin who lives by a code of the Samurai out for revenge against a mafia family who have wronged him. There is a great sound track full of lots of different styles, innovative-speculative filmography with plenty of homages to samurai films of the past as well as more modern techniques, and a beautifully uneven sense of pacing and stilted dialogue that echoes a realistic sense of the ridiculous like Chekov would.
Also if you get bored the mafia spend a lot of thier time watching old cartoons so you can watch them.
E: I may be biased by my insane Jamusch love but fuck all movies that aren't Ghost Dog
