I’m not going to tell you much about the plot of 3 Days Of A Blind Girl AKA Retribution Sight Unseen. Here’s what you need to know. Mrs. Ng (Veronica Yip) has just had an operation on her eyes and she will be […]

I make it a rule not to criticize a movie because it isn’t the movie I wanted the filmmakers to make, but I’ll make an exception for No Mercy For The Rude, and I’ll tell you why.
It’s a perfect title. The movie almost writes […]

I dunno. Maybe I’m just not a fan of hopping vampire flicks, but Mr. Vampire 2 was a bit of a challenge to sit through for me.
The plot really isn’t the problem per se.
Treasure hunter Kwok Tun-wong (Chung Faat) and […]

When I saw the title “The Last Blood,” I immediately thought of the apocryphal tale concerning movie producer Roger Corman that he used to decide on the title and the movie poster of a film before he came up with a […]

From the very first frames of Invisible Waves, director Pen-Ek Ratanaruang exhibits an extraordinarily strong authorial presence. The compositions are architectural in their discipline. The color palette is gray and green, with the occasional splash of color, usually a dull red. Ratanaruang persists in […]

The Killer’s Love is one of those movies that could only be made in Hong Kong during the Golden Age. It’s a combination hired killer thriller/ fish out of water comedy/ romance.
Cheung Wai-Lun (Simon Yam) is a ruthless killer for hire. His […]

Is that title supposed to be some sort of irony? If only.
The Heroic Ones of the title are thirteen generals who are brothers, in some cases by blood, in other cases by adoption. Whichever the case, they’re all arrogant, smug and boorish, although […]

Gangster High isn’t badly directed. I especially like how director Ki-hyeong Park shot the soccer scenes in the beginning of the film. They flow nicely and have a nicely elegiac feel to them. The fight scenes are fine, in that standard Korean flailing kind of […]

Full Alert succeeds from beginning to end as a realistic police procedural. The plotting is tight and the characterizations are believable. Lau Ching Wan is his usual reliable self as hardnosed and hot tempered Inspector Baau Wai Hung. Francis Ng dials down […]

Considering that The Crucifixion features multiple crucifixions and the character acting of the great William Ho and Shing Fui-On, it is unforgivably dull. I was reduced to admiring co-lead Hilary Tsui’s shapely ass throughout most of the running time, just to keep from […]
