September Micro Review Round-Up

7 Grandmasters
Spectacularly fast kung-fu in this 1978 genre classic.  Despite some early confusion as to what the hell was going on the plot to come became crystal clear about a third of the way in.  There’s an incredible amount of fights in this film but unlike Master of the Flying Guillotine (in which I started getting very bored) I still wanted to watch to the end.

It’s also amusing because of what complete cocks all the heroes are.

Police Story
Action is as outstanding as ever but there’s actually a lot less kung-fu than I remember.

My Neighbour Totoro
I swear Miyazaki can do anything, far from his big epics this is as simple a tale as they come, a beautiful little film.
