Video: QT's Top 20 of Last 17 & Battle Royale Review

Here is Mr. Tarantino listing his top 20 movies that were made after 1992; when he started making movies.

So, I had to watch his number one movie, Battle Royale, last night and, it is a pretty fun ride. It's everything that you would expect Tarantino to enjoy: violence, dramatic music, Asians, creative ways of killing people, more Asians, confusing, blood that shoots out of people in unrealistic ways... etc.

Here is the trailer

If Battle Royale was a cooking recipe, it would read like this.

2 cups The Lord of the Flies
1 cup Mortal Kombat
A dash of Dawson's Creek.

Stir all ingredients in a bowl, cook on high for 2 hours and garnish with wasabi.

You might be asking yourself, I get The Lord of the Flies and Mortal Kombat, but Dawsons Creek? Once you watch it you will understand what I mean. There are too many scenes that go like this, "I have always had a crush on you and I will protect you," or like this, "I have always had a crush on you and now I must kill you." I like the scenes that went like the second scenario better. Still too much pre-teen puppy love for a "game of death" movie.

It's the ultimate respect your elders movie, because if you don't you will get shipped off to an island where you must battle the rest of your class in a, last man standing tournament of death. In America our parents have the boogie man to scare us, and in Japan they have Battle Royale; advantage Japan.

One last kinda racist thing about the movie. Any movie with over 40 characters is going to confuse the shit out of me, and this one gets really perplexing. There are 40 Japanese teens in this movie, all wearing the same identical school uniforms, and only about three of them have distinguishable characteristics. Therefore, at times it gets a little confusing concerning who is who, and "wait, didn't that guy already die!"

Overall, I would recommend it. The scene where their teacher explains to them the game, and they watch a stereotypical Japanese video which includes a girl in a skimpy outfit, outrageous graphics and clap alongs, is amazing. Even if the rest of the movie was crap it would still be worth it because of this scene.

I give it 4 Brad Asses out of a possible 5 Brad Asses
