Wild Zero – Review

Wild Zero – Review

As Ace hits the road on the way to the next Guitar Wolf gig, a meteorite crashes into the town of the next show, turning all inhabitants into zombies. Wild Zero is just crazy and twisted but after watching the whole thing I'm a huge fan. I particularly liked the character of Makoto Inamiya who played a womanizing villain and Haruka Nakajo as a sexy bazooka wielding assassin. Although the concept is ludicrous Wild Zero is major fun from beginning to end.

Legendary Assassin – Review

Legendary Assassin – Review

As action movies go, Legendary Assassin is blazingly unimaginative, so it naturally falls upon the film's star to carry the proceedings. Ultimately, Legendary Assassin is easy to forgive but hard to completely appreciate, as it only scratches the surface of Wu Jing's abilities. The film may not offer anything new in terms of story, but I would still recommend it for its very well executed action sequences and Wu Jing’s presence alone.

Seven Swords – Review

Seven Swords – Review

Seven Swords is a really spectacular production while Donnie Yen fans can be rest assured, as this is a very easy movie to obtain unlike a few of his other films. However, the fight choreography is nothing special, and the dialogue seems to lurch from one non sequitur to another. So, if you want to see a Donnie Yen showcase, you might want to look elsewhere.

Initial D – Review

Initial D – Review

There’s a fond place in my heart for Initial D. My first car in high school actually resembled the car the main character had in the original anime series. Thus, kicked off my initial interest in the world of car racing. While the anime stayed fairly close to the manga, this live action movie makes ...

Confucius – Review

Confucius – Review

A history lesson about the life of Confucius starring the great Chow Yun Fat made its way finally into my hands, and I must admit, I expected to be bored to tears by this film but it ended up being above average. I’m sure he wasn’t the most eventful man on the planet so I ...

Kung Fu Cyborg – Review

Kung Fu Cyborg – Review

If this was a totally worthless film I would easily call it a Chinese rip off of Transformers but it bring more to the table than meets the eye. Under normal circumstances, I try to know as little as possible about a film before I watch it. I feel it allows me a better experience the film. Kung Fu Cyborg: Metallic

Crows Zero – Review

Crows Zero – Review

Crows Zero takes place in a High School. Instead of stupid pranks or getting stuffed in a garbage can or trying to make the best grades or trying to get a varsity letter, it all comes down to how well you can brawl. Although the main character’s run at the top is the primary story, ...

No doubt a strange film, but nonetheless it has the always lovely Maggie Q, so I had to give this film a watch. The story goes a bit like this, When his commander and friend is badly wounded just before the incipient winter, Lu takes over command of the troops. Forced to find shelter in ...

I have to be honest, I never intended to revisit this series, however The Forbidden Legend: Sex & Chopsticks became one of my most popular reviews so I felt it was only right to give you more of what you wanted. This brings me to 2009′s The Forbidden Legend: Sex & Chopsticks II, where it ...
