Viewing Notes

Now that Miike’s 13 Assassins (2010) is screening at the Music Box I knew I had to pay a visit to catch this on the big screen. And fortunately they did screen it in “theater one”. I missed this at Fantastic Fest last year because I opted to see Jeffrey Combs live performance of Nevermore. I don’t regret that decision as I knew I’d see 13 Assassins eventually. Thankful that I could see it in the theater as it definitely lives up the high praise. One of Miike’s best. Amazing film.
