THRONE OF BLOOD (1957) - Nov. 1, 2006
A well-made but super-duper slow movie about a couple of soldiers who run into a spirit who predicts their future, and how that essentially screws them over (adapted from Macbeth). Akira Kurosawa's direction was quite good, and Toshiro Mifune gave an expectedly excellent performance, but the movie was so... very... slow. I dunno, it seems like it might improve on repeat viewings, so maybe I'll watch it again some day, but I'm not in all that big of a hurry. **
