Eiga geijutsu Best Ten 2007 (E+J)

[Michael Kerpan]

Interesting to see that three films I rather liked made it onto the "worst films" list....

Kantoku banzai! -- Overall, I liked this Kitano film a lot, mystifying as some aspects were.

Sakuran -- though I found the plot more than a bit troubling, this was such a remarkably good looking film I can't see how it deserves a bottle of the barrel rating.

Dororo -- Looked great and every entertaining

I think the critics who make up the list seriously need to get a grip.  ;~}
