Fun, cartoonish and awkward. I like it and so should you.

Kind of like Jaws... but in the Alaskan woods.

Bronson

absolutely brilliant, Nicolas Winding Refn is quickly becoming one of my favorite filmmakers.

Punished

A very well put together revenge flick, with great performances from Anthony Wong and Richie Ren. Mature and quite serious, if not a little unbalanced in terms of editing. Could use a little more suspense and possibly action, but for a Hong Kong film it's better than most films coming out of that island nowadays.

The Brøken

atmospheric, great sense of visual style and Lena Headey is very pretty to look at.

The Brøken

It's a fun short. A bit weird, but I like it. Main actress is very adorable and the cinematography is brilliant. Very interesting dance choreography. Fresh even.

Rouge

One of the essential Hong Kong films from the 1980s.

City Hunter

Jackie Chan always does his Buster Keaton best. This film is all cartoon fun, look out for the Street Fighter tribute.

The Contract

One of the first films in the Golden Age of Hong Kong cinema.

The Contract

It's one of those films that have good intentions but isn't perfectly executed. Very interesting adaptation of William Shakespeare's Hamlet, this is an example of taking a source material and creating something new with a vision.

Legend of the Black Scorpion

pretty good for a two hour episode. Now if they took the last two episodes and made that into a film instead of this one, that would have been a killer ending.

Avalon

One of those under appreciated Sci-Fi masterpieces.

You know Eagle Eye was not that bad. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Pretty good action/thriller.

Millennium Actress

It is still a shock to me that Mr. Kon is gone. He is a master in his own right and who knows the amount of amazing films he would have come up with in his limitless imagination. He's given a piece of himself to us in the form of his works. The least we can do as spectator is pass it on to those who are not familiar with it.

Blue Valentine

Being married is complicated.

Blue Valentine

One of the best Making Of documentaries out there, really brings you to Wong Kar Wai's filmmaking process, his thoughts and feelings. It's a very successful and intimate film.

Zombieland

very creative, perfect casting and fun cameo from Mr. Murray.

Zombieland

not as fun as the original HBO series.

2 sides review: Fun, kinetic and smart. Predictable and not violent enough.

Agreed. Tak Fujimoto is a brilliant cinematographer who is always under-appreciated and possibly not given enough high profile projects to work on.

Saw this years ago when it was playing at an Asian Film festival in New York. This is a great piece of independent filmmaking, in the same veins of Martin Scorcese and John Cassavettes of the seventies and eighties.

Perhaps Love

I had a lot of hopes for this one, but it's too contrived and comes off like a Moulin Rouge wannabe. The story is too convoluted and the cinematography is very inconsistent (due to having two cinematographers). The songs aren't moving and aren't as sweeping and grandiose as most musicals. I would've liked to see how this could've been handled by other filmmakers like Johnnie To or WKW.

Grace Chang

She is the Judy Garland of Hong Kong cinema, maybe slightly classier.
