Mind Game’s plot is a lot to absorb but once you take it all in, you can consider yourself as unprepared for what you will see but be ready to be surprised when you do and mentally exhausted once you did. The actual elements of the plot are not really the focus of the movie though, but instead it is about setting the mood & creating the atmosphere of the characters’ emotions…
In a quest to become a true martial arts master, Ryu sets out to hone his street fighting skills and to deliver himself from the haunting legacy of the Dark Hadou. Sadly, instead of continuing from Street Fighter Alpha to part 2 we are presented with a 45 minute prequel which is obviously not aimed at any street fighter fan…
Dante’s Inferno made me think about evil, morality, the nature of god, all that stuff. It is thoughtful and smart, with a story that makes sense. A lot of the animes you watch make no sense whats so ever, but this made perfect sense all the way through. This film is interesting because it’s all about point of view.
At a little under twenty seven minutes, barely a fraction of its theme is explored. Cencoroll could best be described as a winning idea burdened by a lack of design sense and questionable editing. There is not much to work with but it makes for a quick escape for casual film watchers and just the right fix for the hardcore fans of the genre.

Yojimbo means bodyguard. It is the 1860’s and out-of-work samurai wander the country. Just because I don’t hold it as high in regards as alot of other critics doesn’t mean this film is any less powerful. This is not Kurosawa’s best film, but it is still a classic, and I highly recommend this to fans of Japanese or Samurai films, and anyone who appreciates world cinema… Continue reading

This kind of film is perfect for Michael Jai White because he is a professional martial artist who holds seven black belts in various disciplines. More importantly, what he shows in this film is something that should not be missed by anyone with an eye. It is not the typical fight movie, especially your typical Direct to DVD film… Continue reading
