SABU Week Wrap-up

SABU FIRST MOVIE WEEK

Hello dear visitors!
As we around here enjoyed SABU's movies so much, we are extending this past week's theme and we will watch 5 more movies directed by him.

Me and Krasnaya gave a perfect score to Mr. Long (2017), and were also very pleased with Jam (2018). We highly recommend watching these two movies first if you are interested in knowing this director's work.

My Blood and Bones in a Flowing Galaxy (2021) is also a very good and surprising movie, with a nice abrupt twist that introduces a new genre into the movie.

Bunny Drop (2011) will work well for very sensitive people who don't like violence and blood on their screens. It's a really soft and heartwarming movie with a moderate pace based on a manga of the same name. It's important to note that the end of the movie follows the story from the anime series and not the one from the manga. These endings are so different that they divided the Bunny Drop fandom.

Dangan Runner (1996) is not recommended for the exclusive Hollywood fan, but SABU explorers will have to watch it. So far, the 6 movies we have watched by SABU always have people running. It's a big deal and this movie is what started it all. It's there for you to interpret as you like. If you still wish to see an older movie by SABU I recommend Postman Blues (1997).

Below we have these week's movies ordered from best to worst.
Have a great week!

Frank Oz: From Worst to Best

I've finished my Frank Oz filmography a while back and hadn't had the time to post here the rank and some thoughts about his work. Let's try to refresh my memory and give you some of my opinions... man. Frank Oz is a true legend. At 81, he's not just a brilliant filmmaker but also a puppeteer and writer whose characters, from the Muppets to Sesame Street, have touched countless lives. His directing career is full of outstanding, entertaining movies; out of 14 films, there's really only one rotten apple in the bunch. I'm not sure if he's planning to make any more movies, but I'd love to see him try his hand at a serious drama, just to see him flex a different creative muscle. I wouldn't like to be that famous, I value my privacy. Mind you, Miss Piggy enjoys every moment of it. If it were not for me, she would spend all her time in the limelight. Frank OZ This is his entire fi...
