Zero Focus – Review

Zero Focus – Review

Zero Focus never takes a false step. But it's an odd story, and one which struggles to work for Western audiences, partly because it's so strongly rooted in Japanese history and partly because, in its structure and tone, it is deeply derivative of Western art.

Tekken – Review

Tekken – Review

Tekken reminded me of the type of films you see late at night on SYFY, and I would advise all hardcore fans to treat this like the anime and shun it. However, I am happy to report that Tekken is faithful to the game, not to mention the costumes are spot on. But is this film worth your time? Only one way to find out!

Bangkok Adrenaline – Review

Bangkok Adrenaline – Review

Bangkok Adrenaline displays an extraordinary showcase for the martial artists’ involved skillsets. It’s marred only slightly by some completely unnecessary and needless flips and somersaults. If you've been suffering from withdrawal symptoms since you saw Ong Bak, then this is a fine footnote that pushes a lot of the same buttons. Click to read the full review...

Fish Story – Review

Fish Story – Review

I know a film about a punk rock band saving the world seems pretty juvenile, however, as off-putting as it all may sound, it’s held together a ton of energy. Fish story is exactly the kind of film that big production companies avoid because the story is all hit or miss. To find out if it hits the target or not, click here for the full review...

Instant Swamp – Review

Instant Swamp – Review

Instant Swamp is an acquired taste but if what you've read has you thinking you might be interested, then this is a film I have no doubt you will enjoy. At first glance you would think this is just another run of the mill 'down on your luck' type of story yet Instant Swamp succeeds in delivering another original and creative story.

Battle League Horumo – Review

Battle League Horumo – Review

Much of the antics are typical Japanese over-the-top physical comedy, like all the boys getting naked and performing a choreographed pop routine at the shrine in order to gain the god's favor. Battle League Horumo features stunning visual effects and enough action to keep any crazy film fan satisfied. Click to read the full review...

Plastic City – Review

Plastic City – Review

The story of Plastic City revolves around an aging Chinese gangster who built himself up from selling cheap trinkets on the streets in Paraguay to running one of the largest counterfeit goods operations in Brazil. The art direction reminded me of City of God, so if you liked that film, this one will be right up your alley. Click for the full review...

The latest from Mamoru Oshii is a great little film entitled Assault Girl which stars three cute women hunting huge sandworm-like monsters. though this is a live action film, the action, main characters and their weaponry derive from anime influences.

Fallen Angels – Review

Fallen Angels – Review

Fallen Angels is a movie that combines fast moving action, slow growing relationships, and light hearted comedy. It captures the complexity of emotions with simplicity that is blunt and unrivaled. It portrays an assassin reticent to love, and a big-hearted optimist eager to please. Click here to see if you should see it, in my full review...

Profound Desires of the Gods – Review

Profound Desires of the Gods – Review

Filmed in the late 60's, Profound Desires of the Gods failed to make an impression at the time of its release, but has since risen in stature to become one of the most legendary albeit least seen Japanese films of recent decades. Shot in an otherworldly palette of rich colors, click to see if this movie makes the grade in the full review...
