I'm not sure how many of you are into the Japanese movie industry, but I've found a movie that's pretty good. It's sort of real life anime. It's called, The Princess Blade. If there's anybody here who's played Final Fantasy VII, it has a similar look. I'm not gonna write a huge review, because others have already done that. I'm just putting my seal of approval on the movie. It has some great samurai swordplay, and a plot that beats any of the other imported movies I've seen (memories of Legend of the Red Dragon still haunt me). And remarkably, the English voiceovers are great. If you're into anime, or like me, you just love swords, see if you can find it somewhere and take a look.

Also recommended: The Last Samurai.

Here's my general rating of each movie:

The Princess Blade: $\:D/$ $\:D/$ $\:D/$ $\:D/$
The Last Samurai: $\:D/$ $\:D/$ $\:D/$ $\:D/$ $\:D/$
