Run of the mill
This week's inevitable asian horror review from me, is "Shiver", a "Eyes of Laura Mars" imitator with some neat moments, but some tired ones as well. The wife of a cop who is getting ready to leave him, is delayed in her departure by being shot in the head by accident when he gets out of their car in traffic to deal with some robbers. When she eventually comes to, she has apparently gained some ...

It's OK, not that awful but not that fantastic...
Hmmm... This movie was definiely not up to my expectations. There was such a lot of hype about it and from the many trailers that I watched, I already had a, you know, a sort of opinion of what I was going to get from the movie and so you can say that I got a surprise. Which was no good. A friend of mine who also watched this show said that the plot was moving too fast and he is right. I ...

Great Movie Worth Every Penny...
Dragon Dynasty only releases top notch movies in their collection and this is one of them, a classic with great humor and action combined...

Executioners From Shaolin Re-Make.....
While still is a very good remake ( one of the best in a very long time ), Gordon Lui is in rear form...! I think in this remake, he's probably assuming the role of 'Ting-Ling'...(Hun Se Kwan's) son --- taking on an avenging role for his screen dad. What I think I like the most about this film is the opening scene which kinda shows in a different interpretation..., the destruction of Priest Bai ...

great fight scenes...
...not always great plot. Overall this is a good movie. I really enjoyed the fighting in this movie. Of course the character of Wong Fei Hung is one of legend in Hong Kong cinema. And as usualy he is cast as a mischeiveous youth. but when push comes to shove, he's a serious young man and a hero to his people. I think the character is in line in this movie with most portrayals I've seen of ...

Flirting with disaster
Sometimes to get a good thing, you have to work for it. I mean REALLY work for it. And that is the case for the "Flirting Scholar," in a wacky comedy-romance about a guy who has to go to ridiculous lengths to get the girl. The movie gets unnecessarily gross in places, but it's also outrageously funny, especially with Stephen Chow as the hapless title character. Tong Pak Fu (Chow) is a ...

GET THE RED SUN VERION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have to majorly disagree with "beckbwoy" on this. This is one of the greatest kung fu movies ever! The first time i saw this it was a horrible full screen vhs copy. Well now there is a region 1 remastered lettereboxed version of this. It is as good as remastering job that could have been done. The picture is crystal clear and I promise if you watch it with this beautiful picture, you will ...

One of Cynthia Khan's best
The story in this movie is kind of weird. It's like they are making it up as they go along, but it's surprisingly enjoyable a lot of the time. Cynthia Khan plays a cop and Anthony Wong plays a P.I., and they team up to stop a group of killers. Anthony Wong's character has a girlfriend, and she is hilarious. The main villain in this movie is the guy who played the hero in South Shaolin Master, ...
