Seckman's Selections - New Releases (07/06/11)

So this week's releases were pretty minimal. Only one thing on here really worth picking up in my opinion and that's the new album by September! It's GREAT!! Also, 13 Assassins look pretty fuckin awesome.

Here's what's coming out:

Blu-ray/DVD

Based on true events, the premise of the film is wonderfully simple: In Feudal Japan, an esteemed clan suffers under the reign of the cruel young Lord Naritsugu (Goro Inagaki), who commits whatever unspeakable act -- rape, torture, murder -- that pops into his sociopathic mind at any given moment. Unable to break their sworn oaths, the young lord’s army of samurai are forced to watch dark times fall upon the clan as Naritsugu ascends, unopposed, towards the height of Shogun. Some of the most revered samurai masters in the clan even go so far as to commit Seppuku (ritual suicide) in protest of this calamity.

Unable to stomach the horror any longer, an aging warlord reaches out to another seasoned master named Shinzaemon Shimada (Koji Yakusho) with a special mission: gather a small team of the most deadly samurai left in the clan and find a way to kill Lord Naritsugu while he is traveling between clan territories. After baring witness to the atrocities that have been committed by Naritsugu, Shimada agrees to the suicide mission and gathers a team of noble samurai (including his disenchanted young nephew, Shinrouko), to hatch an unthinkable plan: send twelve men to kill more than a hundred.
