Here is yet another Oshima Yukari flick in which the actress is ill-served.

Roma Violenta is an okay time waster, but not much more than that.
Screenwriter Vincenzo Mannino and director Marino Girolami maintain a quick paced, steady flow of action, but there’s a problem. We’ve seen it all before, many times over. Dirty Harry clones like Roma Violenta live and […]

Django Kill… If You Live, Shoot! is ultimately undone by poor direction and less than lucid screenwriting, but it definitely has it’s moments.
In a rather disgusting prologue, a group of bandits, half Mexican and half gringo, slaughter some prospectors and steal their gold. One of […]

Another Chinese Cop really isn’t a very good movie, but it’s watchable thanks the performances of Billy Chow, Elvis Tsui, and Anthony Wong. Really, given the plot elements and the cast, it should have been great, but the unfocused script by Chui Ga-Cheung […]

The Last Adventure is completely a movie of it’s time, and that’s both good and bad.
The good part is the characters. Manu (Alain Delon), Roland (Lino Ventura), and Laetitia (Joanna Shimkus) are adventurers, free spirits from three different generations, who follow their bliss, and are constitutionally […]

I’m not going to tell you that The Wild Girls is a good movie. There are too many drawn out softcore porn interludes for that. It doesn’t help that the dialog is lame and the plotting sloppy.
That’s too bad because The […]

In most respects, The Amorous Lotus Pan is a terrific movie. But ultimately it fails, due to the catastrophic casting and conception of the title character.
Since The Amorous Lotus Pan is a very old picture, I was initially afraid that it would be too dated […]

A few days ago, I complained about Death Rides A Horse, saying “…revenge is all there is to Death Rides A Horse. There are no deeper issues involved.” God Said To Cain makes Death Rides A Horse seem like a multilayered wallow in philosophy.
