RIP Ken Takakura

No review tonight; instead I'll talk about how early last week an old actor passed away, and the news just came out last night. If you don't recognize the name, you can get all the important details here.

In short the 83 year old was a famous and greatly respected actor in his native Japan who made a few American films, including Mr. Baseball, Sydney Pollack's The Yakuza and most famously, Ridley Scott's Black Rain, which I reviewed a few years ago here and tonight I'll watch again for Letterboxd. Thus, I'll return Thursday afternoon with a review of something new.
