Red Peony Gambler: Flower Cards Game

1969

★★★½ 10

man I was thinking I wouldn't like this but I came around on it. the visual and aesthetic changes here compared to the first two movies jarred me significantly; gone is the charming staginess, replaced with much more naturalistic (not sure if that's the right word. realistic? I'm not a filmologist) sets and construction. the first two felt like a very specific kind of pulp story come to life in a very specific fashion and over the first two movies…

(this is a review of the miniseries, not the movie, but I understand they're essentially the same)

I loved (and still love) Noroi and Occult, but it was the Senritsu Kaiki File series that turned me into a total Shiraishi die-hard. It's been cool getting those drip-fed as "new" to watch when the fan translations drop, although even the most recent one was released a good few years ago. 2022's Welcome to the Occult Forest shows that Shiraishi has spent…

★★★★ 2

After the Final Chapter, we're back at a lower-stakes investigation that sets things up anew. Kudo is in fine form, utilizing The Kudo Method readily and putting Ichikawa in danger as ever. Ki-powered bats, fox talismans, and generally the kind of nonsense we've come to know and love from this series. After the insane ramp-up of the preceding episodes this one feels a little sleepy by comparison, but it's still a lot of fun, and getting to watch a new one of these should be an international holiday.

Edit to add: I made corrected English subs for the whole series, you can find them here!

Sinners

★★★★½ Watched

Big time banger like everyone says. Sprung for imax (first time I've been to the theater since Barbarian I think?) and it was worth it for the format changes for sure. Ludwig Göransson score goes insanely hard, the music is fantastic and the sound in general is fantastic. Performances were great (Delroy Lindo the goat but everyone is awesome), looked great, and I'm glad Coogler's deal with the rights kick ass. Killer time at the movies!
