Warriors of Heaven and Earth – Review

Warriors of Heaven and Earth – Review

I began viewing Warriors of Heaven and Earth with the high hopes that it would join the ranks of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and Curse of the Golden Flower, but instead I found it to be a film that’s all style and no substance.  While the story has potential, unfortunately director He Ping seems too ...

Memories of Murder – Review

Memories of Murder is based on actual events that took place in Korea between the year 1986 and 1991. Be warned…this is not your typical serial killer movie. Memories of Murders has the setup of any number of average police procedurals: a gruesome rape/murder serial crime in a quiet backwater town, and a two cops ...

Bleach Movie 2: The DiamondDust Rebellion – Review

Bleach Movie 2: The DiamondDust Rebellion – Review

The movie opens with a progress straight out of the Jidai Matsuri which is a company of the King’s retainers are transporting his seal, and the 10th squad has been assigned to provide security. One of the most interesting things for me about the movie was that it did involve the King of Soul Society. ...
