A Strange Eye - Pop Culture At Its Finest and Funkiest

The Strangers is a movie worth watching.  It you want goosebumps and a gut wrenching fear of answering the door late at night then this is the movie for you.  With minimal gore and “monsters” this movie will out duel any high budget CG film.  Overall this movie gets an A based mainly on suspense, cinematography, and eeriness.  Acting was very good as well (since most acting in these films is questionable).  There isn’t much left to say except– Go get this film and don’t watch it alone!

I was asked to blog this movie, cause the cover looked so appealing to viewers who like horror and suspense thrillers.  The movie is about a C+ overall.  The suspense is good from time to time.  The acting was believable.   The only part that lost me was the mood swing of the main guy.  It seemed like the transition was lacking.  Take a look at the trailer.  It is honestly worth a watch if you like those types of movie (since most get an F).

Now the ending does provide a twist, but getting there (to the end) is pretty rough.  Be prepared!

Have I got a treat for you.  Watch this clip.  At about 30 seconds in you can see Hanzo’s exercise regiment.  You may want to try it out for yourself!

The Hanzo films are something else.  I recently watched my first, Hanzo the Razor: Who’s Got the Gold?, and let me tell you it was a little bizarre.  Watching Hanzo interrogate a female ghost, by placing her in a net above him and twirling her on his large member, made me a little uncomfortable.  Also, my girlfriend was right beside me shaking her head.  We had no idea what we were in store for…

Here’s a description of the film above by HK Flix.  They did a much better job than I can.  “From the pages of Kazuo Koike’s classic manga flies the incorruptible samurai cop, Hanzo Itami. Known for his “nasty habits”, fans of “The Razor” wouldn’t have it any other way. Orgying blind high priests, desperate royal wives, corruption, and conspiracy are all part of the mystery Hanzo uncovers at the Shogunate treasury. Appropriate procedures? That’s not the way Edo’s most well-endowed constable conducts his unique brand of police business. “Who’s Got The Gold?”, starring the legendary Shintaro Katsu (”Zatoichi”), brings the notorious Razor trilogy to a rousing climax, with extreme swordplay and Hanzo’s even more extreme “interrogations” of his female suspects.”
