Blind Date Movie Reviews

When I was younger I used to hunt down grainy copies of the Zatoichi series which were poorly subtitled and poorly transferred on VHS. I was very pleased to see this quality cinema transferred to DVD and given the respect it deserves. The Zatoichi Series, though it declined at the beginning of the seventies, remains some of the greatest drama/action in cinema history; at least according to my opinion. The seventies saw a drastic change in Japanese culture, and the movie industry became more sexual and trashy. The 1960's saw the greatest in cinematography, plot, and character development- far surpassing anything Hollywood was doing during that time. This Zatoichi episode is a classic which pits Ichi against some fierce bandits, and a mission to clear his name with a village of farmers. The chambara here is excellent, and the ethics of Ichi are highly pronounced. I look forward to more DVD transfers of the Zatoichi series.

As always, this movie gives you all you want in the zatoichi vein, the emmotional women, the amazing swordsmanship, and the numerous opportunities for Zatoichi to display the character that lasted him thru so many movies. Mixed up in the search for a lost chest of gold, thieves, and crooked goverment officials, Zatoichi saves the day in his unsual manner. Not quite as good as the first ones but still worth the price

I really appreciate Home Vision Entertainments production of the Zatoichi movie series. Each release has been an excellent presentation of Zatoichi. As a Japenese Samurai Movie fan I think that this series of DVD's is the best. The character of Zatoichi is very compelling and each story helps you identify with this Blind Swordsman who is always trying to do good for others. The examples of Japenese culture during this time period is very beautiful and detailed. Shintaro Katsu displays a wide range of emotions as Zatoichi and his display of swordmanship is excellent.

A great entry into the Zatoichi series, there are some awesome fight sequences in this movie and it is very in depth and relfective. All the Zatoichi films I've seen start off without much action, focusing more on building an enviroment that is beleivable and a story that is captivating. Masseur Ichi on the Road satisfies on all levels, truly a testament of what a film should be- an art form that draws the watcher into its carefully laid out story and has him emerge feeling enlightened. With all the hollywood trash being released nowadays all people want is a quick fix of special effects and shallow romance scences. A good story is no longer a necessity and is a nearly forgotten art. The Zatoichi series reminds us what film making is really about.

Let me say this, I saw my first Zatoichi movie back when I was 14 and since then I was absolutely hooked.

The move was beautifully done and I can not stress enough what an awesome character Shintaro Katsu can play. I have all of his VHS tapes and I am slowing starting to build my DVD collection. I have DVD's from overseas subtitled and let me tell you.
It invokes a feeling that no one anywhere, time, or place can in this day and age. The movies are genre films (Feeling invoking). DO you remember the first time you saw seven, primal fear, titanic - (kind of cheesy now) but at the time the movies gave you a feeling right.

Well all of his movies are like that. This one here is 1 of my top 10's! 5 out of 5. He has over 30 movies made and also 100's of TV episodes. Trust me on this. Its great. Once you get hooked you'll love it as much as me. BUT BEWARE YOU HAVE TO ENJOY FILM> If those action packed rockem sockem's are your only cup of tea then not for you.

Where else can you see Kirstie Alley and Marina Sirtis topless in the same film, plus a young Valeria Golino posing in a bikini? Those are the 2 or 3 reasons to collect this film, obviously. However storywise it's definitely a unique concept: a guy goes blind so they hook an Atari chip to his brain to give him sight. Unfortunately, everything looks like Space Invaders to him. I wonder if he's now upgraded to X-box?
The dvd extras are quite good, with a very comprehensive film history of the director, including some outtakes of this film which include even lengthier nudity from Kirstie during her sex scene, some of which had been trimmed for the final print.

There's a serial killer running amok...and no one knows who it is. Suddenly, through a tragic accident, a well-to-do business man has an accident & is blinded. He tries an experimental CGI chip implanted in his brain to help him "see" again. He witnesses one of the murders & "sees" an outline of the madman. Now the blind man must stop the killer before he kills again. Will he do it or be killed himself? Watch & find out! Great visuals! An erotic thriller!

I have only walked out of a handful of movies, and this was one of them. Everything about this movie was contrived and stilted. While Blake Edwards has produced some classic movies, this simply is not one of them. I recommend S.O.B if you're looking for a truly excellent Edwards film

Blind Date was pretty funny, but I definitely don't think that it was either Willis's or Basinger's best movies. I also don't think that it was hysterically funny. It had some funny parts in it, but 3 stars is all I give it at the max.

Do I need to say the words ?...
Bruce Willis playing the hardworking office guy ... a looser ( ??? ). His boss having a BIG dinner party with new " Hope to be a partner ". He needs a date !? He is trying to rent his brother's wife , but he doesn't have a 100 bucks to pay for it . So , his brother setting him up with a blind date ... OH BOY ! Exectly ! Did you ever have a very wrong and bad blind date ? Forget about it ! This one is the ... I don't have the words . Let me finish with one of the last frases in this film : " STOP the music !... and shoot the dog ! "

Because that's pretty much all this DVD is...women showing their breasts during various parts of the "Blind Date" scenarios. The DVD is introduced by a woman who pulls down her top while promising "hot scenes to come." Then it is just various clips of women appearing topless (or sometimes fully naked) during various shoots...showing up for their date with their shirt open (no bra), getting naked on dares, flashing breasts during the pre-date interviews. And then just for "fun" tossing in some uncensored swearing on a couple of the date scenes. They DO actually go through one full date at the end full of sexual innuendo and nudity from the male and the female sides, culminating in the couple showing their own amateur sex film shot in just enough darkness to hide the naughtiest bits. And I don't know what the producers were thinking when they included footage of a woman doing the post-date interview while sitting on the toilet clearly demonstrating that she'd probably eaten too many...ummm...bean tacos on her date.

Oh and by the way...host Roger Lodge does not appear in the DVD, which seriously detracted from whatever little quality this had, because I think his comments might have made it a bit funnier. Then again, his refusal to appear in this DVD might have been a smart choice.

I thought that only the one of the videos was cool. Dates from hell was the dumbest, along with weirdos and [strange folk]. I wish other dating shows would come out with some DVD's like this---anybody know of any???

Buy if you want, some parts are pretty funny.
