Chaos (2008) Movie Review
Although the Hong Kong film industry waxes and wanes, one man can always be relied upon to keep on delivering the goods - Herman Yau. Beloved to cult film fans for his early category III rated classics, including “The Untold Story” and “Ebola Syndrome”, the director has certainly been busy of late, churning out the [...]

With “Beautiful” having been written and produced by grumpy Korean auteur Kim Ki Duk, known for searing explorations of the darker recesses of the human condition such as “Time” and “Breath”, viewers should have a pretty good idea up front of what they are letting themselves in for. Indeed, although the film was actually directed [...]

The prospect of “Missing” inspires both hope and trepidation, marking as it does the return of Tsui Hark, the one time golden boy of Hong Kong cinema, who since his peak in the heady days of the 1980s and early 1990s has suffered a slow decline in fortunes. With his highly touted 2005 comeback feature [...]

Being abnormally obsessed with Asian horror, about a year ago, on a whim, I bought “Into the Mirror” (“Geoul sokeuro,” 2003) through eBay. Written and directed by Sung-ho Kim, the film focuses on Woo Yeong-min (Ji-tae Yu of “Oldboy” fame), a traumatized former police officer who now works as a security guard in his uncle’s [...]

As a rule, I avoid comedies like the plague. Either they are too low-brow for my tastes, relying on flatulence or gross sexual situations for laughs, or they cannot sustain their humor. Comedies also tend to be dominated by flavor-of-the-month performers, usually someone who was on “Saturday Night Live,” who churn out one film after [...]

Kung Fu Killer, much like it’s name, is a seriously flawed blend of quality elements that just don’t mix well. David Carradine isn’t a great actor but in the right role, like his plausible bad guy in Kill Bill, he’s near perfect. Daryl Hannah, too, can be charming and captivating in the right environment. Neither [...]

Korean film “The Chaser” comes on an incredible wave of critical acclaim, having won the Grand Prize award at the 44th Baeksang Art Awards, as well as the five top prizes at the 45th Daejong Awards including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor, not to mention having been very well received at Cannes. On [...]

All I want to know is what did writer-producer Clive Barker and/or director Ryuhei Kitamura do or say to someone at Lion’s Gate to get their $15 million film “Midnight Meat Train” dumped into second-run cinemas on its opening week? Did they kidnap an executive’s family and set everyone on fire in front of him? [...]

“The Moss” is hotly tipped Hong Kong director Derek Kwok’s follow-up to his much praised debut “The Pye-Dog”, and sees him sticking to the same territory with another gritty tale of urban angst. Here, the tone is somewhat darker, and the film delves even further into the lives of criminals and dirty cops, whilst still [...]

Granted, “The Scorpion King” with The Rock was no masterpiece; it was a mildly entertaining movie that was probably too generic for its own good, but it’s hard to argue that the film, directed by Chuck Russell, did what it did very well. And yeah, having a barely dressed Kelly Hu slinking around onscreen didn’t [...]
