May 24, 2001 Three Colors: Red by Krzysztof Kieślowski (Review) My second favorite movie of the “Three Colours” trilogy, Red is not without its weaknesses.
May 24, 2001 Three Colors: Blue by Krzysztof Kieślowski (Review) To be honest, this film may just be the best film I’ve ever seen that deals with the subjects of grief and loss.
May 24, 2001 Drunken Master 2 by Jackie Chan and Lau Kar-Leung (Review) Jackie Chan’s finest moment?! It could very well be.
May 24, 2001 Adrenaline Drive by Shinobu Yaguchi (Review) There’s something offbeat and charming about Adrenaline Drive that ultimately offsets any lack of originality.
Apr 14, 2001 Shanghai Affairs by Donnie Yen (Review) One of Donnie Yen’s worst, which is a shame because it had all the makings of a really great movie.
Apr 14, 2001 Dark Days by Marc Singer (Review) A moving testament to the ability of humans to survive and even rise above the situations they find themselves in.
Mar 3, 2001 Once a Thief by John Woo (Review) What’s this, a light-hearted criminal caper from the master of heroic bloodshed?
Feb 17, 2001 Tai Chi II by Yuen Woo-ping (Review) More wire-enhanced kung fu frenzy with copious amounts of youthful hijinks.
Feb 17, 2001 Enter the Fat Dragon by Sammo Hung (Review) If you’re a rabid Bruce Lee fan, then you might get a kick out of watching Sammo Hung parody and pay homage to your hero.
Feb 17, 2001 Crystal Hunt by Hsu Hsia (Review) A confusing melange of story lines and silly characters that’s just too boring and contrived to be interesting.
Feb 3, 2001 Requiem for a Dream by Darren Aronofsky (Review) It’s most certainly a mind-blowing movie. But don’t consider that a blanket endorsement.

Dec 23, 2000 The Tin Drum by Volker Schlöndorff (Review) A disturbing movie because we expect to see innocence and childhood, but instead find corruption and sin.
Nov 19, 2000 Iron & Silk by Shirley Sun (Review) A kung fu movie, a documentary, a social commentary, and an autobiography.
Nov 3, 2000 The Killer by John Woo (Review) Chow Yun-Fat’s tour de force balances bloody, over-the-top action with themes of honor and nobility.
Nov 3, 2000 Evil Dead 2 by Sam Raimi (Review) It’s a bad movie, a terrible movie, a cheesy movie. And I mean each one of those with love and respect.
