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...

Triple Tap – Review

Triple Tap – Review

I can say with confidence that by the time the final reel came along, all the cards fell into place and I was left with a bittersweet taste in my mouth. I honestly have no qualms with Triple Tap, I just made the mistake of going in with higher expectations.

Wasabi – Review

Wasabi – Review

Ultimately, Wasabi serves as the foundation for a cinematic experience that is neither remarkable or common. The action is pretty steady throughout, and is more of the comic book variety, like what you might see in a Jackie Chan film. Luc Besson made Wasabi in French but had the Japanese film market in mind. Click to read the full review...

Power Kids – Review

Power Kids – Review

So, if you are a regular reader of this site you probably know these kinds of films by now. It is underdeveloped, weak, and somewhat aggravating, yet awesome action. If these kids were in a better movie it would have been a far greater showcase for their undeniable talent. Is Power Kids the next big thing out of Thailand? Click to find out in my full review...

Gangster High – Review

Gangster High – Review

Gangster High is a brutal violence gangster movie from a horror director. Baseball bats, pipes, axes and knives all get used in the fight sequences with a very realistic touch. Really, this is all the film has going for it, so if you like broken bones and violence, this should be up your alley. Click to read my full review of this 2006 South Korean drama...

The Crab Cannery Ship – Review

The Crab Cannery Ship – Review

Why does a novel about exploited workers on a crab cannery boat, published 80 years ago by a young communist writer, become a hot movie property now? Well, Crab Cannery Ship plays more as exercise than drama. All in all, this is a very interesting film, but not necessarily a good one, if that makes sense. Click to read the full review...

Black Samurai – Review

Black Samurai – Review

Black Samurai with production value as terrible as it is, definitely ranks up there with the most entertaining movies I've ever seen. I laughed so hard at times, I nearly cried. Either they were doing this tongue in cheek, or it was complete schlock, it ranks as mediocre, yet it's a keeper. Click to read my full review of this 70's action flick starring Jim Kelly...

Dasepo Naughty Girls – Review

Dasepo Naughty Girls – Review

Dasepo Naughty Girls is a film that has an exterior of a wacky sexy romp. The film is a kaleidoscope of dumb sex jokes, visual humor, and storylines that involve a principal possessed by a mythical monster who espouses the virtue of virginity to the students of the high school. Yeah, it's dumb. How dumb? Click to read my full review...

Dynamite Warrior – Review

Dynamite Warrior – Review

Dynamite Warrior attempts to blend the Muay Thai fighting system with a generous amount of special effects, wire work and a hint of mysticism. Just don't make the mistake of expecting another Ong-Bak like I did. It is another film about a young man on a quest for vengeance against the man that killed his parents. Click to see if this film is anything but unoriginal in my full review...

Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky – Review

Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky – Review

I won't get into plot or expand upon characters, but what I will say is this movie has the joy of being in a very small category of films that are 'so bad, they are actually good'. Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky is probably one of the most comically gonzo, graphically gory features I've seen. Click to read the full review in all its bloody glory...
