The Last Samurai
Rating: 8/10
I watched ‘The Last Samurai’ once again on HBO. I wasn’t going to watch it but I got hooked right after the first big battle in the dark forest. After that I wanted to see the Ninja attack on the village. That was the best part of the movie. And so I decided to finish it up. And despite the long drawn out Hollywood ending, the movie was pretty darn good. I felt the same way, way back in January of 2004 when it was out. Here was my review: ”The Last Samurai” review. I gave it an 8/10 rating back then. I think it still holds up as a strong 8/10 still.
Good rental. But don’t D&W – drink and watch. You might fall asleep if you do.
I give Mr. Cruise a big whopping rating of 3/10. Just think… January 2004 I would have given him a 10/10 rating because I’ve always thought Tom totally cool! Then the next thing you know he’s hopping on couches, telling people they don’t know this that or the other thing, bashing one of his first coworkers, Brooke Shields, from his first movie ‘Endless Love’, and getting married to some poor helpless girl captured by his spell who, by the way, broke all her religious and moral beliefs to be with a nut job - got pregnant before marriage, obviously had sex before marriage when she was ‘saving herself’, and is now quitting the glamour of glitz and success of Hollywood just when she was getting hot and to cap things off… she can’t take drugs or make any noise while giving birth. BRILLIANT!
That being said… I’m still going to watch his films and I’ll probably like ‘em all! Tom Cruise rating: 3/10.
