Reviews of Music, Movies, Anime & More

The movie soon becomes a delirious ride through all sorts of fantastic settings.

This is everything that I want from a Godzilla movie.

This film throws so much at you it’s nearly impossible to take in.

Though released 1988, Akira stills stands unrivaled as one of the landmarks of animation.

For early 80’s Chan, stick with stuff like Project A or Police Story.

Overall, not terrible, but not really that good either.

A rip-snorting good time of a film.

There’s so much going on in this film at any one given time that it’s easy to miss some things.

Definitely lacking when compared to Jackie Chan’s later stuff.

A seemingly heartwarming film ruined by inane developments and humor.

So self-absorbed that it makes the mistake of thinking its characters and their lives are interesting.

Contains less of what makes a Jackie Chan film a Jackie Chan film.

A quirky and fairly refreshing take on the typical “hitman” film.

A harrowing film about the cycles of abuse.

Visually, this may be one of the most impressive films I’ve ever seen.

A mythological action film based on ancient Norwegian myths.

For anyone who fancies themself a patron of true cinema, this film is required viewing.

One moment, Orphans is tragic and moving, the next hilarious, the next downright disturbing.

For a movie that’s about a famous swordsman, we actually see very little of him.

If you’re looking for a film that doesn’t trivialize the struggles that faith and conviction can bring, this is a good one.
