The latest Korean movie on the remake chopping block is “Seven Days”, which thankfully is a thriller and not yet another generic horror movie about dead long hair chicks with predilections toward violence in the name of vengeance. The Korean thriller, which has itself just opened this week in South Korea, stars American TV star [...]

This is such a great story, that I had to post about it. A man name Dong Yanbin, a Ph.D student at the China University of Political Science and Law in Beijing, has filed a lawsuit against the nation’s film censor, the State Administration of Radio Film and Television (SARFT), for infringing upon his “consumer [...]

It’s just killing me that I haven’t been able to find a DVD of the Johnnie To-Tsui Hark-Ringo Lam collaboration “Triangle” with English subtitles. Seriously, Hong Kong movie makers, is it so hard to ask for a DVD of your movies with English? Pretty please? In any case, the latest Johnnie To movie to surface [...]

The South Korean horror movie “APT” is, if you’ve seen any number of Asian horror movies, more of the same. A woman is haunted by the ghost of some dead woman with long black hair who likes to show up in the background when she least expects it, and it’s up to our heroine to [...]

According to Fangoria, who quotes a Hollywood Reporter article that I’m unable to find, South Korean director Chan-wook Park (”Oldboy”, the “Sympathy” films) will be directing a Korean vampire movie to star Song Kang-ho (”The Host”) as “a priest who becomes transformed into a bloodsucker due to a failed medical experiment, and winds up having [...]

I hadn’t even heard of the latest Chinese stab at epic action filmmaking, the awkwardly titled “An Empress and the Warriors”, which will star Leon Lai, Donnie Yen, and Kelly Chen, until a reader emailed asking about it. After a brief search of the net, here’s what we have: Kelly Chen plays the Empress, and [...]

It looks like Japan’s Fiji TV thinks they might have an international hit on their hands — or at the very least, they’re hoping they do, because they’re bringing the Stephen Chow-produced action-comedy overseas to the American Film Market to sell. The film’s producer Chihiro Kameyama is quick to point out that while the film [...]

Holy, this thing looks bloody as hell, and besides the triumvirate of mega Asian movie stars, that’s apparently what the producers of “The Warlords” are selling — the bodycount. Then again, if you have Jet Li, Andy Lau, and Takeshi Kaneshiro hacking their way through half of China, similar to the Wild Bunch’s last excursion [...]

If you’ve seen George Lucas’ “Star Wars” movies, then you’ve probably seen about 50% of Akira Kurosawa’s “The Hidden Fortress”. Why? Because Lucas’ original steals whole scenes, not to mention the R2D2 and C3PO characters from Kurosawa’s 1958 film (read our review of it here), which follows two bumbling and opportunistic villagers as they stumble [...]
