The 50 Word Review

The internet really is the final frontier. This is a bewildering ‘reality television/documentary’ about a New York teenager who sells her virginity on e-Bay. Awkward viewing at times; the student filmmaker foolishly dramatises the events to add running time, thus rendering the second part redundant. Pathetic and sad.- JJ

Seven Samurai – this three hour long epic movie is Kurosawa’s most well known film in the West. Set in 16th century Japan – despondent villagers hire a band of samurai to protect them from bandits. Quite stunning if drawn out, this is a filmmakers’ film. -JJ
