Review of The One (2001)

By Burton D (68) on 30 Jan 2008

So much of this movie is very, very stupid. That doesn't mean it can't get fun to watch…

Review of Eat Drink Man Woman (1994)

By Burton D (68) on 28 Jan 2008

I guess this is supposed to really hit home with Taiwanese people and fathers/daughters. It loses some of its power for me in that respect…

Review of Irma Vep (1996)

By Burton D (68) on 13 Jan 2008

Seeing Maggie Cheung and listening to her voice is heavenly. Too bad this movie goes nowhere or give any reason to exist…

Review of Le Samouraï (1967)

By Burton D (68) on 12 Jan 2008

Delon is a PIMP. There isn't much dialogue, but this movie doesn't really need it. It still looks slick and cool as hell…

Review of Unstrung Heroes (1995)

By Burton D (68) on 28 Dec 2007

Overlooked gem with one of my favorite actors. It's moving without being a sapfest…

Review of Lone Wolf and Cub: Sword of Vengeance (1972)

By Burton D (68) on 10 Dec 2007

Holy cow, that guy looks like Ogami Itto! This is one of the greatest comic book adaptations no doubt…

Review of Once Upon a Time in China II (1992)

By Burton D (68) on 08 Nov 2007

Review of Once Upon a Time in China and America (1997)

By Burton D (68) on 08 Nov 2007

Jet returned to the role that made him famous to only make a weak (for Jet and Sammo) effort…

Review of Fearless Hyena (1979)

By Burton D (68) on 01 Nov 2007

Another Chan classic. The kung fu is a bit more on the made-up side (emotion kung fu!) but it's from the greatest kung fu star ever…

Review of Nikita (1990)

By Burton D (68) on 14 Oct 2007

Remember when Luc Besson made good movies with great visuals and characters you love…

Review of The Story of Qiu Ju (1992)

By Burton D (68) on 30 Sep 2007

Huge departure for Zhang from his usual style, but he comes out on top. Gong Li proves she's one of the greatest living actresses again…

Review of The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover (1989)

By Burton D (68) on 20 Sep 2007

One of the most bizarre and incredible films I've ever seen. It's gorgeously repulsive…

Review of Raise the Red Lantern (1991)

By Burton D (68) on 19 Sep 2007

Extremely effective directing from Zhang and the ensemble cast help make this one of the unsung masterpieces of the 90s…

Review of Shanghai Triad (1995)

By Burton D (68) on 16 Sep 2007

Unfortunately not Zhang Yimou at his best but definitely worth the time. A boy's coming of age. A spoiled night club singer…

Review of A Better Tomorrow (2010)

By Burton D (68) on 25 Aug 2007

Dated, but it has a few great scenes. Chow steals the show in supporting role…

Review of The Big Brawl (1980)

By Burton D (68) on 11 Aug 2007

I don't understand the hate. It's no more silly than Jackie's hong kong efforts up to that time. There are no kung fu battles, really…

Review of Black Mask (1996)

By Burton D (68) on 30 Jul 2007

One of the last solid hong kong efforts from Jet. Franny Yip in bondage gear…
