Here we have the first season of Dexter I can’t fully recommend. Huge fans of the series will probably still want to check it out, but it’s just not very good.
The fault isn’t the actors. Michael C. Hall negotiates the contours of the […]

I really wanted to like Cut and Run. It has the Trash Cinema spirit, that’s for sure. Director Ruggero Deodato seldom misses an opportunity to slather on gratuitous layers of sleaze, full frontal nudity and graphic violence for the raincoat brigade.
We get to see such […]

Golden Chicken will be of most interest to folks who are either huge fans of Hong Kong cinema, have a keen interest in the people of Hong Kong, or both.

I suppose I should say a few words about the plot of The Final Destination, although it’s the same as every other Final Destination flick. Nick O’Bannon (Bobby Campo) has a premonition about a large scale disaster, freaks out and pulls away […]

By 1995, the film industry in Hong Kong was verging on collapse. Local audiences had become blase about bullet ballet and flying wuxia flicks, which had been the mainstay of Hong Kong cinema for six or seven years.
Filmmakers reacted by trying to come up […]

For a while, it seemed like Bystanders was going to be truly original.
In the beginning of the film, we see a young boy stabbed to death by someone in a raincoat. Elsewhere, a man fondles a woman’s ass in a crowded subway. Ja-young (Eun-Kyung Shin) […]

With 71 Into The Fire, writers Man-Hee Lee and Dong-Woo Kim have an incredible story to tell. In 1950, North Korea attacked South Korea and beat back the South Koreans as far as the Nakdong River. That’s where South Korea made it’s last stand.
Pohang, which […]
