Finally, the picks of the week. Blaine says, “Either Star Wars: The Force Awakens or Hidden Fortress, depending upon your preference between digital download and physical media.” Alex says, “I’ve already pre-ordered The Force Awakens, so if I was picking up something I hadn’t already pre-ordered, I’d probably be going with The Hidden Fortress. Anime fans should go with Vampire Princess Miyu, as by all accounts this release is an improvement on the earlier Tokyopop DVD release.”
You know, I’ve always thought [/i]Star Wars[/i] was a lot more like Yojimbo than The Hidden Fortress.
Also I think I need to do a Kurosawa marathon.
