Movie review: Bionic Ninja
Wednesday, May 23, 2012 9:58AM / Members only
Producer Tomas Tang and director Godfrey Ho once again work their particular brand of cinematic voodoo with Bionic Ninja. For those of you not familiar with their methods, the duo would take footage from existing films and then splice in new scenes in order to dupe distributors and unsuspecting audiences into thinking they were watching a new movie, or, for that matter, something resembling an actual motion picture.

Updated review: Accident

Soi Cheang's solid crime thriller Accident was one of the better films to come out of Hong Kong in 2009. With Shout! Factory releasing the movie in North America on Blu-ray and DVD on June 12, we take a second look at the movie, as well as offering a few thoughts on the new Blu-ray.

Movie review: Ninja Strikes Back
Sunday, May 13, 2012 6:31AM / Members only
This slice of Bruceploitation cheese is particularly brazen, not only stealing elements from the Little Dragon's filmography like Enter the Dragon wholesale, but cribbing notes and methods from other movies such as Goldfinger as well. The end result is a picture that really can't be considered good in the true cinematic sense of the word, but is a fun enough time, especially if you are primed with a few frosty adult beverages beforehand.

Movie review: Golden Lotus
Wednesday, May 9, 2012 9:24AM / Members only
Not really knowing where it wants to go, the 1991 Category III costume sex romp Golden Lotus is neither arty or tasteful enough to be considered erotica, nor is it sleazy or over the top enough to appeal to the hardcore raincoater crowd. Instead, the audience is treated to ninety minutes of semi-clothed people awkwardly simulating sexual intercourse, giving an end product that becomes the opposite of sexy: just plain boring.
