NOT WORTH YOUR TIME
I have to say, with a title like “The Rape After,” I was expecting a different type of movie. You know, a serial rapist is burning through the female population of Hong Kong, the incompetent cops keep missing him, and it falls to […]

In the interests of full disclosure, let me just say that I am not part of the natural audience for this picture. I’m not big on ghost/vampire/demon pictures unless the action choreography is awesome and the humor is laugh out loud funny. That’s […]

In Hollywood cinema, we have a tradition of immigrant gangsters who make the American version look like pansies. Most recently, they’ve come from the Eastern bloc countries, such as the former Soviet Union. Before that, Jamaicans were briefly the badasses […]

Walk In is what happens when Hong Kong filmmakers get hold of the body switching genre as exemplified by American movies like Big and Vice Versa.

The Blue Jean Monster is a tough film to rate. It’s got a boffo opening, a crazily creative climax involving axes, chainsaws, explosives, live birth, trucks used as weapons, Molotov cocktails, and killer industrial fans, and the only starring performance by the great […]

A Chinese Torture Chamber Story II may not be the nonstop exercise in hilarity that the first installment in the series was, but it tells a wonderfully perverse tale in it’s own right.
As our story begins, Lotus Wong (Yolinda Yan) […]
