Samurai Rebellion

Toshiro Mifune & Tatsuya Nakadai in the same movie, what's better than that?

You don't need an enemy banging at the gates, you just need a little court intrigue to set things off.

Anyone else just get $53.66 dropped into their Venmo account? 💰

This feels like a scam. It claims it's a payout for a lawsuit against The Criteria Collection. 📽️

I subscribed in the past, but it's only been for a month at a time. I doubt I've ever even spent that much on the subscription.

And how did they get my Venmo account information?

Bacutau

Strange, but I ended up liking it. It had a hopeful message.

Falling forward 🍉Jul 18, 2025

Not renewing my subscription, so last post on this thread. I appreciate the different selection of movies. But I still have a hard time finding something which I watch all the way to the end. I'll subscribe again in the future. (No commercials!)

Hedwig and the Angry Itch

One of the best low budget movies I've ever watched. I didn't know anything about this, other than it was originally on Broadway. Good film making, and fun.
