Thirteen Assassins – Review

Thirteen Assassins – Review

Eiichi Kudo’s “The Thirteen Assassins” is a very under seen samurai film that is now gaining interest and demand due to the recent Takashi Miike remake. The best way to define this overlooked film without detracting from it too much is that it learned and borrowed from the best of its genre, that doesn’t help ...

Samurai Fiction – Review

Samurai Fiction – Review

Samurai Fiction has all the ingredients of the chambara genre. It is also a black n' white Japanese period drama that doubles up as a comic romp. Still with us? Good.

Cafe Lumiere – Review

Cafe Lumiere – Review

This is a story about two people so reticent they are unable to connect to an emotional present and instead focus on anything outside of themselves to attempt to thwart that connection. Subtle cinema aficionados should not be warned, but newcomers might find this to be a test of their patience. Will this movie strike a chord with you? Click for Olivia's full movie review...

Gallants – Review

Gallants – Review

Gallants is a very impressive debut outing that not only avoids many of the pitfalls of the genre but manages to give new hope to a resurrection of the good old days of the Shaw Brothers. Our new movie reviewer CJ seems to think this is the type of film that can work as a gateway into the older martial arts classics. Click to read his full review to see if you agree...

Mutant Girls Squad – Review

Mutant Girls Squad – Review

Extreme cinema wouldn't be extreme cinema if I didn't feel ashamed and dirty after watching it. Will you find yourself offended by very low brow but very funny humor at the expense of everyone and everything? If not, and all this sounds good to you then I don't see why this won't be your new favorite film. Click for the full review...

The Housemaid – Review

The Housemaid – Review

Although the 2010 version differs from the original in many aspects, but that doesn't necessarily mean a bad thing. I suppose it should go without saying that this is a dark movie with a handful of sex scenes and graphic parts. It is another example of a Korean filmmaker taking a recognized genre and turning it on its head. Click for the full review...

Big Tits Zombie 3D – Review

Big Tits Zombie 3D – Review

So the best way I can sum Big Tits Zombie 3-D is, if you go in wanting sex and violence, it delivers on a small scale but you would have a much better time just tracking down some live action hentai porn. As a standalone film, well, come on in and check out the full review...
