Don by Chandra Barot (Review)
So completely over the top that it’s nearly an assault, one that makes this nearly 3 hour long movie speed along at a breakneck pace.
Downtown Torpedoes by Teddy Chan (Review)
The sort of disposable cheese that gives disposable, cheesy films a good name.
Cold Fever by Friðrik Þór Friðriksson (Review)
Beautiful cinematography aside, the movie’s quirkiness and whimsy undermines its emotional impact.
The Atomic Cafe by Jayne Loader, Kevin Rafferty, and Pierce Rafferty (Review)
It’s a wonder we ever survived the Cold War.
Cinema Paradiso by Giuseppe Tornatore (Review)
A movie about the wonder and mystery of movies, as played out in the life of one man.
Who Am I? by Jackie Chan and Benny Chan (Review)
Easily one of the best of Chan’s recent films, there’s a cohesive plot and the fight scenes are among the best Chan’s ever done.
Chinese Super Ninjas by Chang Cheh (Review)
I swear, this movie has some of the most innovative ways to kill people I’ve ever seen in a kung fu film.
Blind Spot: Hitler’s Secretary by André Heller (Review)
How you feel about Ms. Junge comes from your own impressions of her and her words.
Infernal Affairs by Andrew Lau (Review)
Infernal Affairs is the sort of slick, intelligent movie that any director would love to have under his belt.
Zhang Yimou’s Hero Is One of the Greatest Martial Arts Films I’ve Ever Seen (Review)
Zhang Yimou’s entry into the wuxia genre is majestic, stirring, and beautiful. Oh, and it features some kick-ass action sequences, too.
Chinese Odyssey 2002 by Jeffrey Lau (Review)
This movie is nothing short of a delight, the kind that gets me giggling like a little schoolgirl every time I think about it.
Iron Monkey by Yuen Woo-ping (Review)
A truly classic kung fu comedy, with amazing fight choreography and the best slapstick this side of a Jackie Chan film.
