Ninja (2009), dir: Isaac Florentine

I have a lot of affection for this movie: it's not great, it has silly sound effects, a little goofy, went with CGI blood instead of squibs which looks bad, definite power rangers influence and not always in a good way; but I genuinely like the characters and their relationships with each other

we start with various characters at a dojo in Japan, we meet Casey (Scott Adkins) and Namiko Takeda (Mika Hijii) sparring and they definitely have crushes on each other, they're generally very cute but aren't acting on the obvious attraction yet

so Casey is obviously an American white guy, seemingly the only one at the dojo, and that's implied to be part of why another student Masazuka (Tsuyoshi Ihara) is so hostile

he intrudes into Casey's personal room around bedtime (while Casey is lost in thought looking at a photo of his mom) seemingly just to push his trauma buttons

"must suck not to have a heritage :) shame your mom abandoned you and your dad drank himself to death :)", it nearly provokes a fight but Sensei Takeda (Togo Igawa) scolds him

later they have a sparring match, it's a good showing but Casey notably struggles, it widely escalates and Masazuka tries to kill Casey, Sensei exiles him and everyone feels bad about it; it's not a bully getting kicked out to applause, it's a favored student with potential who has lost the family's trust

presumably months later, Masazuka has become an assassin for the Illuminati-esque Ring, he returns to the dojo mostly to threaten them about he's the only one who deserves to inherit the Yoroi Bitsu (a box of ninja gear that's culturally important), he's also here to stare threateningly at Casey, but comes off less "I'm going to happily murder you later" and more a come hither look

so Casey and Namiko are sent to New York with the YB to hide it in a museum for safekeeping, Casey's definitely focused on the task but him carrying the photo of his mom suggests he has a second motive, they then contact a an old friend of Sensei called Professor Garrison (Garrick Hagon)

they have a nice dinner with him and Prof asks how Casey ended up at the dojo, Casey proceeds to trauma dump to professor, "yeah my mom left me when I was 12 :) dad drove off a cliff :) a family friend dropped me off at the dojo so I'm perfectily fine", our boy definitely has unprocessed trauma

Masazuka slaughters those at the dojo (unclear how many), has the advantage with a high-tech ninja suit with infra-red vision, angry about Sensei rejecting him (definite parallel to Casey's history of abandonment), kills Sensei but realizes that YB has been moved, realizes location thru Namiko's phone messages

Casey goes to find mom, learns she died of a stroke months before; quietly comforted by Namiko, romantic undertone but interrupted by intruders who kill the professor

they get away and hide in motel, Namiko has quiet breakdown when she realizes her father is dead, they end up sharing a shower but it's more of a keeping warm/comfort than sexy, more trouble with police thinking they're suspects

next morning Casey panics when she isn't there, although just went down to coffee shop, another ambush, train fight, first kill, arrested by police

this is about where the film loses steam for me, the story still works okay but a little less gripping, also wish Namiko got a better showing because she struggles more in fights than Casey despite the beginning suggesting they were on equal footing

there's an interrogation where Namiko sticks to the cover story of visiting then running because they were scared of the attackers whereas Casey basically tells the truth about ninja assassins and isn't believed; Masazuka breaks into the precint, kills police and kidnaps Namiko

Casey tracks down the cult and calls Masazuka to make a deal, the Yoroi Bitsu in exchange for Namiko (she's willing to die to keep it hidden but he isn't)

final fight: meet at a construction site, Namiko freed when box is handed over, turns out box is empty because Casey decided to wear the gear instead, Namiko gets a good fight but poisoned and taken out of commision halfway through, Casey wins the fight and gets antidote for Namiko

ends with beheading Masazuka, interesting tone because it doesn't feel exultant, more like a grim necesity

final scene is Casey and Namiko at Sensei's grave before returning to the dojo, implied they're now a couple

Apple TV+ Original film ‘Tetris’ Trailer

“Tetris,” a biographical film about the development behind one of the most iconic video games ever, will premiere on Apple TV+ on March 31, the company announced Thursday. The news was accompanied by a film trailer showing star Taron Egerton as Tetris Company co-founder Henk Rogers. “Tetris,” the film tells the story of how “Tetris” the game became the hit it did, focusing on Rogers’ quest to get the franchise onto the Game Boy. This process involved negotiations with Soviet Union officials and several messy legal battles. Nikita Yefremov plays Pajitnov, while Toby Jones, Roger Allam, Anthony Boyle, Togo Igawa, Ken Yamamura, Ben Miles, and Matthew Marsh play various figures involved in the legal dispute. The film comes from Jon S. Baird, a Scottish director best known for his 2018 feature “Stan & Ollie.” Noah Pink, the creator of the National Geographic series “Genius,” penned the screenplay. Matthew Vaughn produces the film via his Marv Studios banner, while Leonard Blavatnik produces for AI Films. Gregor Cameron and Gillian Berrie serve as additional producers on the project.     Read the full article

There's a huge thread on the Star Wars sub on Reddit asking Disney to hire him, so I am not the only one who is clamoring for that 🤣 Plus Jedis/Siths are clearly samurai with lightsabers, it was obvious since 1977 that George Lucas had sci-fied the samurai and ninja cultures for Star Wars, from the clothing (they are wearing sort of kimonos!) to the Zen nature of the Force and onto the lightsabers attached to the belts like katanas.

The fact that only a Japanese actor was hired for any role in Star Wars (Togo Igawa in a minor role in The Last Jedi) is a freaking SCANDAL

they should make a japanese retelling of dracula and cast hiroyuki sanada as dracula himself.

How many types of armbands are there?

(Hopefully by this point you’ve finished all eight episodes of ‘Giri/Haji’, the kind of person who isn’t bothered by spoilers, or are just deciding if you still want to keep watching.)

Rewatching scenes from Episode 1...I’m reminded that this might be the only time I’ve seen Kenzo wear an armband.

It was only after the rewatch that I noticed that the viewer’s field of vision is narrowed when there’s a flashback.

Which is kind of like what happens in the comics --- but isn’t that more for when a character notices something?

(Maybe I’ll get the actual aspect ratio in my DMs one day)

And of course...who could forget the songs selected! I feel like it adds to the comedy. The last few scenes are just...well...we’re given a cliffhanger of Donna with her rifle pointed at Kenzo ...and suddenly the credits start with 'Time Of The Season' by The ZombiesIt's

the time of the season When love runs high In this time, give it to me easy

(Another reminder on how cheeky this show is....goodness...the expectation would be something that’s sort of ominous....darker...than...well.... 'Time Of The Season' which oddly fits.)

PS: I like that they use ‘London’ and ‘Tokyo’ like it’s obvious. (Rather than Tokyo, Japan or London, England)

PPS: Is there a reason why Kenzo wouldn’t want to press charges against the boy who assaulted Taki? I would have thought he’d be more switched on because he’s a cop.

HIGHLIGHT:

INT. SEDAN - DAY

TOSHIO has the wheel. KENZO in the passenger seat.

TOSHIO Do you think he ever considered renting an office that wasn't above a damn fish market?

KENZO This isn't Japan.

He's staring at an image on his phone. He zooms in at a power point.

TOSHIO What is it?

The passenger shows it to the driver. A quick glance, but eyes back on the road.

KENZO The wrong kind of wall plug.

TOSHIO Where do they have that kind of plug?

KENZO (exasperated) I'm not a plug expert.

A beat.

TOSHIO Who keeps calling you?

KENZO My wife.

TOSHIO Is she a plug expert?

--------

My verdict of the episode: 7/10

Timestamp Commentary: None (I might consider doing one after enough time has passed --- but if you’re keen to have this one come out before others....let me know)

My Formal review about the show: TBA (I’m thinking about doing a piece that focuses on the comedy of the show.
