I’m not quite sure how to review To Live And Die In L.A. When reviewing most movies, what you have to watch out for is plot spoilers. You don’t want to give away major surprises in your review. In the case of To Live And […]

While watching Undeclared War, I was reminded of a truism that’s often bandied about by people who don’t like foreign movies. The gist is that foreign movie lovers give a free pass to flicks they would tear apart if they were filmed in English and […]

Season 3 of Dexter isn’t quite as strong as Season 2. The overarching theme isn’t as compelling and the suspense factor is much weaker this time around, but that doesn’t mean that Dexter isn’t worth watching. Far from it.
This season, Dexter (Michael […]

Once Upon A Time In China And America finishes up the series about Chinese historical figure Wong Fei-Hung on a high note. Yeah, the American Indians often look fake, some of the acting by the gweilos is piss poor, some of […]

The second season of Dexter is even stronger than the first. The only thing that keeps it from an essential rating is the dilution of suspense towards the end of the season.
The theme for this season is recovery. When Rita (Julie Benz) […]

TRASH CINEMA ESSENTIAL MOVIE
Melodramas don’t get much more mellow than Heroes Shed No Tears. John Woo’s war flick is full of tearful, sweaty male camaraderie, a body count that would shame Sam Peckinpah, and grotesque amounts of sentiment. If you’re the sort of person who demands realism […]

Paparazzi has a major credibility problem from the get go. We’re asked to get all hot and bothered by the urgent problem of rich, coddled, priviledged movie stars being hounded by the press. The poor dears!
Paparazzi is the trumped up story of Bo Laramie […]

There’s a lot to like about The Princess Blade, enough that I wish that it was better.
The swordfights are convincing in a way that implies that the actors are using real swordfighting techniques. The same goes for the martial arts moves. The credit for […]

At it’s core, High Crimes is pure chick flick, but it gets points for professional execution and polish.
Ashley Judd stars as Claire Kubik, a high-powered lawyer. Your girlfriend or wife will love this character (and you’ll probably loathe her) on sight. The first thing we […]

I don’t get it. How could you have a movie with fight choreography by the great Tony Ching Siu-Tung (Peking Opera Blues, A Better Tomorrow II, The Killer, Dragon Inn) and starring Shu Qi and Vincent Zhao and not have it be any […]
