A Kid From Tibet starts off with several advantages. First, there aren’t many movies made in which one of the main protagonists is a Tibetan monk. That’s pretty novel to start with. And director/star Yuen Biao managed to get amazing access to Lhasa, the […]

Considering how simple the central conflict of Zatoichi And The Chest Of Gold is, the film can be awfully confusing.
When Zatoichi (Shintarô Katsu) happens upon a celebration, it turns out that the villagers are happy because they have managed to scrape together […]

One year before Danny Devito’s Throw Momma From The Train, screenwriter Alex Law came up with this comic version of the classic Alfred Hitchcock suspense thriller Strangers On A Train.
In this version of the story, Football Fa (Chow Yun-Fat) and Roberto (Kenny Bee) are friends […]

Voice Of A Murderer tells a story of the 1991 kidnapping and murder of a young child, concentrating on how the mother and father cope with the uncertainty and stress.

By the third installment of the Wicked Priest series, Shikai (Tomisaburo Wakayama) has apparently overcome his aversion to violence. Before the credits even begin, Shikai has slaughtered a room full of people (probably a flashback to Wicked Priest 2, but I […]

I confess that I didn’t really expect much of The Untold Story 2. After all, the events of The Untold Story didn’t lend themselves to a sequel. I figured some triad film producers decided that popping out a quick sequel […]

For me, the most amazing aspect of Terrifying Girls High School: Lynch Law Classroom, a Pinku Eiga exploitation flick with oodles of nudity, sex and violence, is that it functions as a political allegory.
The School of Hope is the last stop in Japan’s […]

Most remakes are an exercise in futility. Usually, the originals were just fine to begin with. Most of the time, the filmmakers have no real reason to make the film. Nine times out of ten, it’s a matter of simple economics. There’s an […]
