Re: Movies of the 90s I still stand that The Relic is a really good monster flick. Mimic too, even though it's far from del Toro's best.

Re: Movies of the 90s Not seen it, but the Russian Surf guitar group The Red Elvisis did the sound track, and it's killer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d50dO4BsmxMhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpLKc5c0xLc

Re: Movies of the 90s I was underwhelmed by Six String Samurai, but then again, I already had a notion/set of expectations of what the movie should be before I saw it. Try and forget the high concept before you watch it - and gird yourself for an obnoxious kid character - and you will probably be glad you saw it. That same strategy helped me love Bubba Ho Tep as less a high concept idea about an Elvis/JFK team up against a mummy and more a melancholy reflection on mortality and regret.

Re: Movies of the 90s From a fight perspective, both the director of Six-String Samurai and lead actor (and Hong Kong film veteran) Jeffrey Falcon do a far better job than most Hollywood films do, even those starring the likes of Jackie Chan and Jet Li.

Re: Movies of the 90s Yes. (Which is not to say that the concept isn't better than the actual film-- just that the gulf between the two isn't nearly as wide as you seem to fear.)

Re: Movies of the 90s The concept draws me to it, and the review give me more reason to.
The music is, as I said, killer and that's the clincher for me.

Re: Movies of the 90s I concur with El Santo, and would say that it's well worth a look.

Re: Movies of the 90s I'm in the same boat as you, BJ. Expectations set too high, and that kid.... THAT KID! To much to overcome, sadly...

Re: Movies of the 90s I'll add my voice to the dissent.
Also, I know I may be alone on this, but I enjoyed The Dead Hate the Living.

Re: Movies of the 90s about 6-string Samurai....
I would encourage you to watch it, but keep the expectations low. The script could have gone through the editing process a few more times, but for an indie effort; it has a lot of promise.
the filmamkers desires were well beyond his budget/capabilities; and it shows.

Re: Movies of the 90s Not quite alone. I'm sure it benefitted from being made in 1999 (when there hadn't been a non-parodic zombie movie not made in some headbanger's backyard released in this country for about six or seven years) rather than 2009 (when even many die-hard zombie fans were starting to wish somebody would shoot the whole genre in the head), but found The Dead Hate the Living at least moderately impressive.

Re: Movies of the 90s I remember Dr. Freex giving it a relatively positive review as well. How did this thing escape the academy's attention?
