  Ichi is a new and interesting take on the Zatoichi character. In this film, Ichi is a woman (Haruka Ayase), a blind travelling musician and an expert with a sword who was trained by the original Zatoichi. As such, it's more of a sequel than a remake....

  My first introduction to director Guillermo del Toro was Blade II,a film that surprised me and endeared to me greatly, I much preferred it to the first film. It's odd, but there's something I really hate about vampires that just 'poof' into dust, so ...
