Hell Has No Boundary (1982) Movie Review
The DVD blurb for the Shaw Brothers release “Hell has no Boundary” is an amazing piece of hyperbole, hailing the horror film as an ‘exercise in eradication’ which assures that ‘gorehounds will be giddy with joy’ - words guaranteed to send a shiver down the spine of any genre fan, especially those with a taste [...]

Benny Chan’s “Invisible Target” is one of the few Hong Kong films I have been looking forward to seeing in 2007. It joins Donnie Yen’s “Flash Point” and the Johnnie To-Tsui Hark-Ringo Lam collaboration “Triangle” as films that I hope will rekindle my enthusiasm for Hong Kong cinema, something that has waned greatly over the [...]

For the benefit of those likely to stop reading at the news that what we have here is yet another tale of that most beloved and enduring of cinematic stereotypes, namely the eccentric / melancholy / honourable / love-struck / well-dressed hitman (is there any other kind?), the bottom line is that “One Last Dance” [...]

(By Evan McKinney) In South Korea, if you bring up the topic of actor/model Daniel Henney, you’re sure to cause a girl to faint from a wave of desire. He is well-known for starring in Korean dramas, and because he is not fluent in Korean, he earns further recognition from his fans when he speaks. [...]

The first of the summer 2007 wave of Korean horror films to hit DVD is “The Evil Twin”, marking the directorial debut of Kim Ji Hwan.

“Simply Actors” is an all-star Hong Kong comedy, which along with big names Jim Chim (recently in “AV” and “Mighty Baby”) and one half of Twins Charlene Choi in the cast boasts an incredible number of cameos from the likes of (to mention but a few) Chapman To, Eric Tsang, Anthony Wong, Josie Ho, Sandra [...]

“The Duel Project” is kind of like a less pretentious Japanese version of Danish directors Lars von Trier and Thomas Vinterberg’s ‘Dogme 95′ so-called vow of chastity in that it enforces a number of rules in an attempt to strip down the film making process to its essentials. Of course here, rather than trying to [...]

“Mr Lee vs. Mr Lee” (a.k.a. “Long Day’s Journey into Night”) from director Shim Kwang Jin is a dysfunctional family drama based upon the play “Happy Family” and loosely inspired by the life experiences of lead actor Lee Dae Geun. The film is certainly a very personal affair for Lee, whose soul-searching performance won him [...]
