Kaze to ki no uta
This anime has gorgeous animation and a great soundtrack but it also features two of the things I dislike most in shounen-ai/yaoi stories, the first in the cliche where not just the main character(s) are gay but every single person in the entire show is as well and second that one of the main charac...

The Foreigner (2017)
Jackie Chan and Pierce Brosnan are great in this movie. A lot of people seem to be amazed that Jackie Chan can be dramatic but the reality is that Jackie Chan has made dramatic films throughout his career, they've just never been as popular as his Action/Comedy films. The movie itself is nothing spe...

Kong: Skull Island
This is a big, loud and utterly stupid movie, which isn't always a bad thing but here is was. The direction was really sloppy as was the camera work. The characters were pretty bland with John C. Reilly being the stand out. John Goodman was completely wasted in his role and Samuel L. Jackson, dear g...

I Spit on Your Grave (2010)
While this was better shot and acted that the original film it suffers from poor decisions from the writers/director. The fact that Jennifer makes a lot of poor decisions, like dropping the phone, going out in the middle of the night, not having protection, etc.. added to the lame revenge section re...

The Bodyguard
This is the type of superhero origin story I'd expect from someone who really wanted to make a Ryu from Street Fighter II story. The action fits for the type of movie it is as does the acting. The story itself and how everything is put together including the music really makes you feel like you are ...

Killers vs Thugs
This isn't a martial arts movie hell it's barely an action movie. The film is mostly a drama, there are three or four shootouts but no real action scenes. Panna makes his first appearance at the 66 minute mark of this 80 minute film this is one of only two scenes he's in. The story isn't bad and the...

First things first, Tony Jaa is only in one scene in the entire move so don't expect much. The story is better than most Panna Rittikrai films but it's not done very well and since the film is mostly a sports drama there isn't much fighting. The fighting is another issue I had with this movie, the m...

The Evil
This movie is fun and exactly what I was expecting when I saw the title "The Evil". Most '70s horror movies were pure cheese and this is no exception. I found all the characters to be likable in a fairly generic kind of way and everything plays out just as you'd expect. The biggest downsid...

Headshot
This is a good but flawed film. The fights and action is brutal however while I can deal with the leaps in logic and poor decisions that the characters and director makes but too much CGI, Shaky Cam, Slo-Mo, and quick cuts during the action scenes really detract from the fun. Kimo & Timo have go...

First I just want to say that I wasn't too happy that I had to watch the English Dubbed version of this film. Yes this has it's share of flaws but in many way this is what gangster films are supposed to look like. It's nice to see films where some of the smugglers, gangster, racketeers, and mobsters...
