SAMURAI OF THE SCREEN: FILMS OF AKIRA KUROSAWA

"With a new 4K version of RAN arriving soon in theaters, we’ve gathered some of Kurosawa's most popular and fascinating works for your enjoyment. His highly influential THE SEVEN SAMURAI, THE HIDDEN FORTRESS and the action-packed chanbara YOJIMBO helped inspire THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN, STAR WARS and A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS, respectively. His “Macbeth” adaptation, THRONE OF BLOOD, remains among the finest screen adaptations of Shakespeare’s plays. Dark crime dramas THE BAD SLEEP WELL and HIGH AND LOW pack punches that still leave audiences reeling. And in RED BEARD and IKIRU, Kurosawa tells moving tales of compassion and hope amidst illness and death."

To celebrate FNF’s fifth anniversary, only one thing seemed fitting of
the occasion — if you guessed an all night marathon consisting entirely
of the fifth installments of various horror franchises, then you’re
correct! After all, Part 5 is generally when most horror franchises go
completely off the rails. An apt metaphor for the madness we all hope
2016 will hold.

trying to find a way to return to get her revenge on Cherry and take over the world! Oh, and it all ends in pasties...
You know, because... burlesque wizards."
