The Child’s Eye 3D – Review
The Child's Eye scare level wasn't very high, but it was well shot. It’s just a feeling that the Pangs have been kicking a dead horse around for quite some time now. I have to say, if watched in 3D, it would be nice. Though this film probably wouldn’t make it to the big screens past Asia. Click to read the full review...
Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem – Review
While it appears as just an hour long animated music video for Daft Punk, for people who may not be interested, Interstella 5555: 5ecret of the 5ive 5tar 5ystem is actually a feature length Anime film made by the legendary Leiji Matsumoto of Galaxy Express 999 and Captain Harlock fame.

Amphetamine – Review
Amphetamine can be described as bittersweet, emotional, and sincere. The plot revolves around drug abuse, tragic love, and gays and lesbians. It is just too bad the material was better than the execution. I applaude it's effort but ultimately I can't recommend this to anyone looking for a great viewing experience.

Gothic & Lolita Psycho – Review
Another film in the splattergore genre whic features decapitations and disembowelings touching which the end result is a film not for the squeamish. Final grade is average but let me words be heard: When it comes to nonsensical crazy gore, Japanese filmmakers can't be touched. Click for the full review...

The Hidden Blade – Review
Manners, traditionalism, rank, political intrigue and the proper way to serve tea. Otherwise known as how to be a Samurai in the mid-19th Century. Gone are the days of severing heads willy nilly, stomping around on your horse shooting arrows, bareback and glowing in the sun. It is the machine age now. The Hidden Blade masterfully recalls the end of an era.
The Warrior’s Way – Review
In the past few years, we have seen resurgence in two seemingly lost film genres. One would be the classic Western. The other, the epic Kung Fu spectacle. You may have been thinking The Warriors Way endeavors to combine these two winning themes into an exciting new beast, but the outcome may surprise you. Click for the full review...

Two strangers have appeared on Earth. One of them invites devastation. The other has the power to prevent it.

Irma Vep – Review
Irma Vep is a bizarre story about a young Chinese actress who plays the title character in a remake of the 1915 silent French film Les Vampires.
