The raid: Redemption

Hero
[formatp]“Hero” is one of the best films ever made and truly spatial in a purely Chinese manner. It is a film that is beautiful in many aspects and will completely transform your enjoyment of the movie. The direction and photography is “artsy” without being pretentious. This film has a few elements from “Crouching Tiger Hidden […]
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
[formatp]This is an action film, almost uniquely without violence or, rather, the violence is so stylized, so removed into some mystical realm, that it almost disappears into dance.[/formatp] Ang Lee’s “Crouching Tiger” is an example of a specific literary/cinematic genre in China: Wu Xia. Wu Xia, for those not familiar with the style, evolved out […]
House of flying daggers
[formatp]I have never, ever seen a film that Hollywood or any other Western film production company has ever created that can top Chinese cinema in this form.[/formatp] The action in the film is a visual treat. Director Yimou Zhang artfully executed set-pieces which are great to watch and gives the middle finger to the CGI […]
Kung fu Hustle
[formatp]Kung Fu Hustle was one of the most visually imaginative and unique movies we have seen in quite some time. We expected it to be another boring martial arts movie with clichéd story lines and bad acting but this is one of the most richly imaginative, creative, downright enjoyable movies I’ve ever seen. I dare […]

Brick Mansion
[formatp]I’m just going to start by saying that this movie is a really, REALLY bad remake of the original french production: “Banlieue 13” (District 13). Or maybe the Americans were going for a parody feel with this one? One thing is clear and I will repeat myself: This movie is really bad![/formatp] In the original, […]
Annabelle
[formatp]This film is hilariously bad. John R. Leonetti (The Butterfly Effect 2) throws everything but the kitchen sink into this prequel to “The Conjuring”. Doors close by themselves. Music swells suddenly for no reason. A sewing machine turns itself on in the middle of the night, requiring a character to get out of bed and […]
I, Frankenstein
[formatp]To say that “I, Frankenstein” was a waste of time would be an understatement. Let’s talk plainly here… A toddler/ dog/ cat could have seen this trailer and automatically knew this wasn’t going to be a Hollywood masterpiece. This movie is about Gargoyles, Demons and Frankenstein!!! The dialogue looks stupid and clichéd, the action looks […]
