Movie Reviews:

• Kamurai: Great watch, would watch again, and do recommend.

  Any movie that gets me to well up with tears is an automatic winner in my book.

  I always wanted to see Bill Murray play a grumpy old man, and this movie is a little more “About a Boy” than “Up!”, but it’s a good middle ground between the two.

  There is something wholesome, even when it’s specifically not, about a kid being taught life lessons by someone. It’s something special that I feel like I haven’t see enough of, and I’d love to do myself.

  It’s also interesting to see a coming of age story that doesn’t revolve around the character coming of age and a romance. It is possible to grow up without focusing on sex, it’s like a reverse Bechdel test.

  This is completely worth the watch, and the movie does a great job of embodying it’s own message of being rough on the outside with goodness on the inside.
