Asian movie watchers will recognize the name Edison Chen.

The DVD re-release of “Blue Jean Monster” has been long awaited by cult film fans, having earned itself quite a reputation over the years as a bizarre bad taste mixture of police thriller, gory horror, slapstick comedy and domestic drama.

We’ve heard stories about the production being halted due to financial worries, we’ve seen stills from the movie, and now, we’ve finally gotten the teaser trailer for the South Korean military-themed horror film “GP506″!

Well it’s finally here: an honest to goodness trailer for John Woo’s “The Battle of Red Cliff”, since shortened to simply “Red Cliff”. (I liked the original title better myself.) The big-budget film ($85 million and counting) is being called John Woo’s “last stand” against irrelevance, since his last few movies have been massive failures [...]

As can probably be gleamed from its title, “The Two Faces of My Girlfriend” from Korean director Lee Seok Hoon is another in the long line of wacky romantic comedies inspired by the success and enduring popularity of “My Sassy Girl”. Whilst to an extent this does give a pretty clear picture of what to [...]
