Goyokin (product link)
Action/Adventure / Drama

A melancholy samurai tale which uses extensive flashbacks as part of the storytelling structure. Tatsuya Nakadai is incredible as the bug-eyed samurai haunted by his past failings. His weary performance is the best reason to watch this film.

YBastard Ronin is correct. This is a truly special film, made by one of the best Japanese directors -Hideo Gosha - and starring the finest Japanese actor - Tatsuya Nakadai.Jeffrey Frawley

The Foot Fist Way (product link)
Comedy / Martial Arts

A pretty funny parody of martial arts instructors who take themselves way too seriously. I know guys just like Danny McBride's character. The ending is sorta' cliche and it drags a bit in the middle, but there's lots to enjoy here if you like McBride's style.

R-Point [Korean LE 2-Disc Box] (product link)

Dobermann (product link)
Action/Adventure / Crime

Explosive, vicious, and funny, this cult gangster flick from France offers up plenty of enjoyable thrills. Vincent Cassel is excellent as the charismatic thief Dobermann, but Tcheky Karyo steals the show as the psychotic and brutal cop tailing Dobermann's gang. This flick is stylish without taking itself too seriously.

Deadgirl (product link)
Horror / Thriller

Sooooo...this flick has zombie sex. And not the campy silly kind like in "Zombie Strippers". This is a filthy zombie girl chained to a bed and raped a bunch of times. The high school drama stuff framing it all is ridiculous, and nothing about the backstory is ever explained. The movie just hits you over the head with its premise pretty bluntly...again and again. The message: rape is bad. Uh yeah, thanks.

Mega Shark Vs. Giant Octopus (product link)
Action/Adventure / Science Fiction

So bad it's good.

Pretty much everything that comes out of anyone's mouth is LOL-worthy, the CGI is total crap, the dialog about Megalodon is literally lifted word for word from Wikipedia, they re-use the same action shots over and over, and Lorenzo Lamas' character completely disappears out of the movie with no explanation.

Awful film, but awfully entertaining.

Tokyo Gore Police (product link)
Action/Adventure / Horror

Wildly inconsistent tone hurts this splatterfest. Over the top gore works well in stuff like "Riki-Oh" or "Evil Dead", which is obviously kinda' campy and not taking itself too seriously. TGP is DEAD serious from the get go, the story is very dark, and Eihi Shiina never cracks a smile or lets the audience know she's in on the joke. The whacked out sci-fi premise was pretty interesting but undermined by the silliness of the gore.

Kinda' like an uneven mix of "The Machine Girl" and "Blade Runner", it's still worth a look.

AGREE?READER COMMENTSAUTHOR
YToo tedious. The gore effects were shot poorly. It needed to be more consistent like Dead Alive or Story of Ricky.slave 2 (the ressurection)
NI agree the tone was inconsistent and hurt the film a bit, but disagree that the film is attempting to be dead serious. I think there's just a clash between this particular deadpan comedy style and the slapstick gore.Choco

X-Men Origins: Wolverine (product link)
Action/Adventure / Science Fiction

Well, at least Sabretooth was pretty sweet.

Wolverine never comes across as even remotely badass in this film. He sure cries a lot though, usually while staring upwards into a spinning camera, clutching the body of a dead loved one and screaming "Nooooooo!" (seriously, this happens like three times at least).

The final battle was pretty lame, too. Bad CGI throughout. Wolvie's claws looked really dumb and fake. Vaguely entertaining, this movie is nowhere near as cool as it should have been, which ultimately makes it a disappointment.

AGREE?READER COMMENTSAUTHOR
YNot great I must say. It needed blood and disembowlments. I recommend the video game over this.... uh thing!slave 2 (the ressurection)
YDidn't bother to watch this one because it looked like exactly what you described. Why take such a high-profile character from a high-budget franchise and do this to it? They just diluted the crap out of the franchise's most popular character.Choco

Killing Zoe (product link)
Crime / Drama

An American safecracker teams up with some French junkies to rob a bank. The heist part of this movie is good, but the best part is the drug-fueled bender the night before the job. "If you smoke this, you will feel as if the world is inside a bubble of glass, and you are rubbing up against it like a bad windshield wiper." Awesome.

A Nightmare On Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (product link)
Horror / Thriller

My personal fave of the NOES series, this one isn't as frightening as the original, but introduces audiences to the pun-spewing, wisecracking Freddy that I grew to love so much. :) Full of corny jokes and awesome death scenes, plus the concept of "dream powers" was really cool.

This Italian "Star Wars" wannabe is so hilariously bad I don't even know where to begin. Let me just say this: it's got David Hasselhoff in mascara having a lightsaber duel with stop motion animated robots. If THAT doesn't make you want to see "Star Crash", nothing will.

Duel To The Death (product link)
Action/Adventure / Swordplay/Sword(s)

An excellently made martial arts movie which depicts Chinese vs. Japanese swordfighting styes.

Highly recommended.

Circle Of Iron (product link)
Action/Adventure / Fantasy

A nice attempt at bringing an original Bruce Lee script to life, but Jeff Cooper is just so terrible and awkward (with both his acting and his action scenes) that he drags the film down to the level of camp.

For Bruce Lee completists or lovers of cheese only.

Samurai Rebellion (product link)
Drama / Swordplay/Sword(s)

Toshiro Mifune and Tatsuya Nakadai are both brilliant in this intense samurai drama. You can see the rage slowly build in Mifune as his loyalty is tested, abused and tested again by his superiors. Torn between following orders and maintaining his personal/family honor, eventually there is no recourse for Mifune but to unleash his fury.

A thoroughly enjoyable drama with an explosive battle at its climax.

AGREE?READER COMMENTSAUTHOR
YI'd go much higher in my rating, although I don't like this quite as much as Kobayashi's "Harakiri" or "The Human Condition." Mifune's speed and energy are remarkable in his action scenes.Jeffrey Frawley

Fearless [2006] (product link)
Martial Arts / Action/Adventure

**NOTE: This review is for the director's cut of "Fearless".**

For all the hype about Michelle Yeoh's scenes being cut from the theatrical cut, I have to say that the (very) brief section with Yeoh at the beginning is silly and was probably better left on the cutting room floor. However, the rest of the footage restored in this cut of "Fearless" adds character depth, longer fights, more detailed dialog and one extra fight scene. Plus the order of the film is switched up so it is all chronological instead of starting at the final fight and then flashing back. All things considered, this is the superior cut of a great film.

AGREE?READER COMMENTSAUTHOR
YIt's a marvelous film either way, and better in the director's cut.Jeffrey Frawley
YI agree, the movie would have been better without the "ad" with Michelle.Cinema!

Hell In The Pacific (product link)
War / Drama

Practically a silent movie since neither character speaks the language of the other, both Mifune and Marvin rely on their incredible physical acting skills to convey all the fear and frustration of being stranded on a desert island. This tale, of two enemies forced to cooperate to survive, is timeless and haunting, but unfortunately it falters at the end. Apparently unhappy with an ambiguous finale, the studio tacked on a horrible and nonsensical ending, but everything leading up to it is gripping.
AGREE?READER COMMENTSAUTHOR
Y4.5 star main body of the film + 2.5 star final sequence = 4 star rating. I remember thinking "This is really good" when first watching it, and then "THAT's the way they're tying it up?" at the end.Jeffrey Frawley

Ong-Bak 2 (product link)
Martial Arts / Action/Adventure

It's Conan meets Apocalypto with kung fu and elephants. Awesome.

While some might bemoan the lack of tons of stunts and Muay Thai (there aren't as many "WOW" moments as in his previous efforts), the variety of unarmed and weapons fighting on display is tremendous. I was especially thrilled to see an extended sequence using the three-section staff during the finale. Jaa clearly put in a ton of work here, but it's a shame the production ran into problems and we are denied an ending to the story.

Here's hoping the sequel rises even higher than the bar set by this film.

The Chinese Boxer (product link)
Martial Arts / Action/Adventure

Historically significant for being one of the first movies to depict a gang of Japanese fighters taking over a Chinese boxing school/town, a common plot in following years. Unfortunately this flick is seriously undermined by the weak kung fu skills of its star, Jimmy Wang Yu. He's young and handsome here, but Wang's fighting ability is just not up to snuff. I felt bad for Lo Lieh (as the head Japanese fighter) having to act like he was afraid of Wang. Tons of spraying blood in every fight, though.
