Gender: Male

Bio: I'm an all around movie viewer. Kung Fu/Drama/Horror/Sleazey Exploitation/etc. Chances are if you've seen one of my reviews it's probably for one of the Korean AVs. I enjoy movies with wild or "out there" content. Bad taste doesn't really mean much to me. That doesn't mean I think it's great, just entertaining.

The Beast Of Tutor (product link)
Drama / Erotica

"Beast Of Tutor" is basically sleaze for the sake of sleaze. You'll see a decent amount of nudity and some "light" rape (tamer than the kind you'd see in a more horror-driven Cat. 3 movie). The smut is sewn together with a flimsy story. It's your basic "man is emasculated, man rapes" kind of thing. It's basically a movie for people who like to see naked women in compromising positions. If you're looking for "gritty" exploitation, try "Untold Story" or "Daughter Of Darkness".

Bloody Buns (product link)
Horror / Thriller

This a watered down version of "The Untold Story". Save yourself the time and money and buy [that]. "Bloody Buns" is nowhere near as good. The gore, the acting, the style nothing comes close. This is an unnecessary movie.

Dr. Lamb (product link)
Horror / Crime



"Dr. Lamb" is one of the better category 3 films out there. It has some "creepy" moments, but like a lot of these movies, wackiness kills the mood. I also felt the story was too far-fetched. Still, it's fun if you like gory horror.

SPOILER (in reference to the "far fetched" story): The killer lives with four people. He mutilates the corpses when no one is home (but always tidies up afterwards). He stores body remnants in his room that he splits with his brother--and seems to share his bodily functions with bottles instead of toilets. On top of all that, the "catalyst" for his violent nature seems to be repressed childhood sexual curiosity. It's annoying how his sister thinks him peeping her in the bathtub as a child explains him murdering people. She, of course, fails to mention the abusive stepmother who treated him like trash. Think of it as a Cinderella Story...except with an Unhappy begining, middle and end. Oh there's also some necrophilia.

Drunken Master 2 (product link)
Martial Arts / Action/Adventure

This is a great movie. One of Jackie's best as well as one of the more memorable characters in Kung Fu. Drunken Master is a role that Jackie perfected as well as a role that helped define him as a star. This kind of Jackie movie also stands out to me because it shows his skill off so well. Alot of his later movies used big stunts (cars/explosions/hovercrafts/etc.) which distracted how good he is at fighting. I also liked how the environment was used in the movie. The fight scenes took advantage of the cramped areas, stairways, tables, benches, burning coal pit etc. It's like everything came together on this movie. I'd recommend this to any Chan Fan or Kung Fu fanatic.

The King Swindler (product link)
Comedy / Martial Arts

This is a "cute" Sammo Hung movie. It seems aimed towards a PG-13 audience, but offers some humor for adults. (albeit childish humor)The basic story is that Sammo is a drunken gambler who thinks he can give his child a better life by returning to fighting. Sammo does offer up some good fighting, but if that's what you're looking for you should just buy one of his action movies. One interesting note is that Sammo does some Drunken Master. Nothing extensive but nice to see none the less. Unfortunately the comedy/fighting wears thin towards the end. The first hour or so is fun if you like bizarre comedy with a dash of action.

Korean AV Girls #5871: Sex Game (product link)
Erotica



If you enjoy wacky Korean smut this is a must see. There is no hardcore sex or genitalia shown in these kinds of movies.

I also want to make a note that I'm not bilingual so I couldn't tell you what the actual story is about, but in this case, it really doesn't matter. The movie revolves around "Sex Wrestling". And you get the whole setup. You have commentators talking over sex scenes, creepy fans watching at home, and some chick with a microphone walking around talking about stuff. This really isn't the kind of movie you get "into"--there's too much distracting you from the sex. This is something you watch for the absurdity.

SPOILER: For those who want an idea of what "absurdity" means. The main story revolves around people (male vs. female) fucking each other into submission. Before the fight the ref checks for foreign objects by pulling down each fighters panties (the men wear bikini briefs), which means the ref gets a look at what everyone's got. There's always commentary to the "fight" scenes as well as shots of the viewing audience. The male champ is fucked to death (I think), which leads to some guy training to avenge him. And yes there is an extended training sequence. Completely weird. I think I'll stop here. If you didn't find any of that amusing, avoid this movie, otherwise watch and learn.

Older Master Cute 2 (product link)
Animation / Comedy



Older Master Cute is basically an animated Three Stooges. The humor is your basic slapstick/sightgag routine, and is strung together with a generic time traveling story. This movie is more enjoyable for it's absurdity than it's humor. Master Cute (with Mr. Chun and Big Potato) go back in time and proceed to interfere in every way possible. Big Potato even goes so far as to bring a revolver and some hand grenades. (Not as funny as you'd think) Besides being bland it should be mentioned this isn't really a "kids" movie. Their is some swearing (Shit and Bastard) and some racial stereotypes.

You'll see squinty eyes and buckteeth as well as a black guy(?) with big nose/lips. (He happens to be the only one with defined lips) Now the movie doesn't make mention of these things but it should be mentioned for sensitive people out there. This is a movie you'd buy if you wanted to experience a little bit of everything.

Korean AV Girls #6385: Her Desire (product link)
Erotica / Thriller



There is no hardcore sex or shots of genitals. This is all softcore. You can see more raunchy material in Category III films.

These movies will only satisfy those with a fetish for Asian chicks or those who like bizarre plots. I am of the latter.

I am not bilingual so the synopsis may not be exact. Not that it really matters, these are movies you watch not "experience".

Her Desire is a supernatural sex flick. The story is about a guy with a wife (or just a girlfriend) whom he cheats on. During the course of his day he meets a bizarre woman who seems to "stalk" him. Obviously he has sex with her. Who could resist some strange chick who appears unwelcomed in your apartment? He eventually realizes this woman is a ghost or figment of imagination after his wife fails to notice her. Unphased he continues sleeping with the ghost, mistress, and wife. At some point the ghost shows "wierd" powers, forcing the guy to stand still (OOOOOooooo, neither sexy or scary).

He tries to dispose of her with the old piece of paper on the forehead, but fails. Any way he continues having sex with all three until the end. Then the ghost screws him over (either out of jealosy or she's some kind of ironic slut demon). He gets caught having sex with the mistress by his girl and the mistress' boyfriend, which leads to him getting his naked ass kicked while they play wacky cartoon music. There is a sequence after this where the story might have been a dream.... Or Not! (Boooo.)

This is a really goofy movie. Lots of smut kind of bizarre but mostly goofy. The only thing you really get from this movie is a sense that you wasted so much time with your imaginary friend as a kid. I could have had a much happier childhood had I only been more perverted. My imaginary friend wouldn't even give me a handjob and this schmuck is getting laid all day. It just doesn't seem fair.

Korean AV Girls #6409: Honeymoon (product link)
Erotica



There is no hardcore sex or shots of genitals. This is all softcore. You can see more raunchy material in Category III films.

These movies will only satisfy those with a fetish for Asian chicks or those who like bizarre plots. I am of the latter.

This is a weird movie that at the end tries to act like a Cat 3 movie. The story is about a seemingly happy couple. Unfortunately the woman sees her husband with another woman and suspects him of cheating on her. She drives herself mad with his "infidelities". This leads her to go out and cheat on him. First she has sex with some guy she meets on the side of the road. They meet up in the woods where she reveals some really unflattering panties. (You'd think if she's going to act like a slut she'd look the part) They eventually have sex on one of those sun visors for the windshield which is kind of funny. After this she decides to have sex with some homeless guy. Apparently nothing says revenge like poor hygiene and STDs. Once her trist with a member of the unwashed masses is over she happens upon a guy who she doesn't want to have sex with. I'm not sure why he was less attractive than a bum, but I guess you gotta draw the line somewhere. This leads to the attempt at Cat 3. The guy, with a friend, abduct and rape this woman. None of it is violent or harsh. This is a movie aimed at eroticism. She eventually escapes by murdering them (I think. This isn't a violent movie) and eventually wandering along a beach covered in blood.

There is more sex than that in this movie. I just depicted the smut that follows the story of the woman. The movie is not violent which really renders the rape/vengence angle pointless. The sex itself is fairly standard. Some of the scenarios are amusing to watch though. All in all it's average.

Fists Of Fire, Swords Of Death [10-Movie Set] (product link)
Martial Arts / Action/Adventure

This is a real middle of the road collection.

You get ten movies, but most of them are flawed. Some aren't widescreen so action spills out of frame. Some are dark and relatively hard to watch. You also have some really bad dubs and editing. And even if you put all of that aside alot of the movies are just rip-offs trying to capitalize on better films. There are two "gems" here: "Fighting Ace" and "Monkey Fist, Floating Snake". Neither offers a new story, but the action is pretty good. "Fighting Ace" will appeal to "Secret Rival" fans, and "Monkey Fist..." is geared towards your "Snake In The Eagle's Shadow" crowd.

For those who don't feel two movies warrant a purchase, "Fighting Ace" and "Monkey Fist..." are also available separately...

Drunken Master 3 / Breakout From Oppression [DOUBLE FEATURE] (product link)
Martial Arts / Action/Adventure

I can't say I liked either film. "Breakout From Oppression" appears to suffer from a lack of widescreen format. The shots just seem to lose a lot of the action. There is another release that apparently has this problem so it's probably the same cut from two diffrent companies. "Drunken Master 3" is really just a waste. There's none of the charm or action that made the first two stand out. This is a double feature you can skip.

Goose Boxer / Tiger Over Wall [DOUBLE FEATURE] (product link)
Martial Arts / Action/Adventure

This is an enjoyable double feature. "Tiger Over Wall" lives up to the synopsis. It has got the dumbest story but some good action to make up for it. "Goose Boxer" is your basic "Snake In The Eagle's Shadow" story. What sets this movie apart is some creative training sequences and "interesting" comedy. Spoiler: The hero creates a fighting technique (goose boxing) that is useless. He also learns to fight from a sex manual, leading to some akward fighting. And to top that off he has to get help from a dwarf to defeat his rival. Entertaining if you enjoy comedic Kung Fu.

Naked Poison (product link)
Erotica

This is one of the better Category 3 films I've seen. A lot of cat 3 films wallow in filth to acquire their rating but this has a fairly "good" story. The movie revolves around a young man who is picked on and used by the people around him. He's socially akward and very timid...until his father (or grandfather) dies. It is at this point he obtains a medicinal journal from which he creates an aphrodisiac to control people. Now this does fall into the category of rape but nothing is really violent about it. The movie doesn't just fall into sexploitation at this point, it keeps it's focus on who "deserves" punishment. The "hero" however falls prey to the power and ego that goes with it leading to an "unhappy" ending. It's hard to recommend a "rape" movie and all though this isn't a "tasteful" drama it is a measured cat 3 film that does keep its perspective.

Hard Boiled (product link)
Action/Adventure / Bullet Ballet

Great John Woo movie. All out action with a story mixed in somewhere. The gun play is awesome and the fight scenes are extensive.

This is the kind of movie you watch for the action. It's over the top, but it wouldn't be nearly as fun if it wasn't. This is a movie made for action fans so buy it and enjoy.

Labyrinth Of Death (product link)
Martial Arts / Action/Adventure



This was a waste of time. First the box art does NOT correspond to the movie. Check additional images for accurate pics. Beyond that, this is a sloppy Martial Arts comedy. No fight scenes worth remembering let alone mentioning, and the comedy really wasn't funny. There was a couple of "funny" sequences (if you like crude humor) that I will tell you about. One sequence involves a couple of guys trying to abduct a vampire kid, during which the kid winds up urinating in his mouth. The other scene of interest deals with the disturbing trend of molesting the undead to calm them. (Also used in the comedy film Mortuary Blues. A far more solid film.) In this case a guy winds up fondling a female vampires chest/butt much to her delight and her husbands dismay. The film returns to this gag by booby trapping her.

That's really all the points of interest in this movie. It's just a cheap movie with bad special effects that fails to deliver in either the fighting or comedy category.

Tricky Business (product link)
Nonsense Comedy / Comedy

This is a really bad comedy. It has an interesting premise but cheesy follow through. The movie revolves around professional pranksters. One "good" one "evil". The good prankster has his code of conduct and rules about who he is willing to trick. The evil one obviously lacks those kinds of things. The problem is the pranks are lousy. A lot of them are very cartoonish, which doesn't play well with live actors. The story lacks a consistent back and forth battle between foes, or a spoofing of "gangster code of honor" type films. Something that might have given the film a better pace. There's just nothing really worthwhile to this film.

Boring. That's the best way to sum this film up. The story isn't inventive. There's little to no action. No one puts forth a stunning performance. Just boring. A boring attempt to capitalize off of far better crime dramas.

Lifeline (product link)
Drama / Action/Adventure

A generic story that is uplifted by a spectacular finale. I can't say enough about the finish to this film. It's vivid and insane, whoever crafted that inferno is brilliant. It is shot beautifully. To see the fires rippling across the ceilings and engulfing various objects is amazing. This is one of those films (like with classic martial arts movies) where the lack of "special FX" leads to some amazing effects. The filmmakers really crafted something to behold. I don't like to recommend films that only have one thing to offer, but the finish to this movie is just so satisfying I think people should give this film a shot.

Dare Ya! (product link)
Documentary / Musical



This is a documentary about LMF (Lazy MuthaFuckaz), a rock/rap group from Hong Kong. I didn't know anything about this group before the movie and, honestly, don't know that much after.

You get a basic understanding of how they came together and what they're about, but the group isn't dissected or analyzed in a critical way. Their "controversial" label seems to be derived from profanity, yet you don't get any real ideal of how their profanity is perceived culturally in HK. You don't get views from people who oppose them or news clips condemning them just the band explaining themselves. You also don't get views from the fans. Those are the people who would normally be the most passionate.

Some of the band members talk about life in the "public estates" which sounds like the projects, but who knows, we never get a view of the estates. A better documentary would have filmed some footage of the guys in their old stomping grounds. One member is even from Australia (Asian Aussie) but that info is basically over looked in the film.

The music is good (if the genre is your taste) but brief in terms of the movie. There are extended performances as bonuses but they lack subtitles. This leaves an incomplete picture in the minds of viewers (at least the ones who aren't bilingual) because you don't grasp the meaning of the songs. It makes it hard to say if they're really saying something or just capitalizing on trends.

I'm intrigued but not satisfied by this movie. The music is enjoyable. I'd just like to see more of LMF, at least enough to figure them out. There are some interesting stories. One band member talked about watching some thug chop a guys arm off. HOLY SHIT! There's some interesting stuff here but not enough to be enjoyed by a casual viewer.

Korean AV Girls #6117: Sperm (product link)
Erotica



Confusing. You'd think with a title like "Sperm" this movie would be simple to follow, but no. There's weird "Nymphs" (like forest fairies) at the beginning who have a half hearted Sapphic moment before being "chased" by something that captures one of them. They show the captured "Nymph" trapped in a cage having an erotic moment with some cups of whipped cream all to the sounds of David Bowie. (That song about "I'm afraid of Americans. I'm afraid of the world.") Then the movie shows some chick watching TV (I think it was some Denzel Washington movie) before changing stations and finding the footage of the two "Nymphs" on. So naturally she starts masturbating until some guy catches her and they have sex.... Look long story short Lots of softcore sex-No Sperm. The chicks are decent looking but they do weird things (Whipped Cream Cups/one humps a saxophone). Amusing in it's absurdity but confusing in its execution. If you like shower scenes there's like five of them. Other than that this is a movie you can skip. There's far more interesting titles available.

Return Of The Scorpion / Dragon Force [1975] [DOUBLE FEATURE] (product link)
Martial Arts / Action/Adventure

Another "ignore the cover" disc from Ground Zero. The pictures have nothing to do with either movie. As I remember the synopsis was wrong on both movies as well. Beyond that both movies are run-of-the-mill. Basic action movies. (Gangster/Swordplay in Scorpion and Kung Fu in Dragon Force) I would say Dragon Force is the better movie but really neither is worth watching.

Korean AV Girls #6118: Her Liquid (product link)
Erotica



A bland movie with a misleading title. I'm guessing there is some kind of translation error because I didn't see anything that would constitute "Her Liquid" which in a sense is disappointing... and relieving. It seems that the movie is about 5 people (3 female 2 male) camping on an island who get stranded. There is a decent amount of sex with pretty Asian chicks. The story doesn't pickup until one guy cheats on his girlfriend with the "odd-girl-out". His girlfriend gets pissed but he decides to cheat again, this time getting caught by the other guy who wants in on the action. (just him and the girl not a three way) When they try to work that out they accidentally kill the girl. Interestingly enough the girlfriends find the guys standing over the dead body and seem unfazed by it. Anyway they bury the girl, but one guy sees her ghost... and tries to have sex with it. It was all an illusion and he wound up humping a tree. (Note: this is the second AV title I've seen where a guy humps a tree. What's wrong with Korean Pornographers? Wait, What's wrong with me?) Later the ghost sets a trap with food and drink that either kills them or results in a sexual delirium that kills them. Over all it's a silly story with your standard amount of softcore sex.

Korean AV Girls #6260: Thornbird (product link)
Erotica

A sexual "thriller". The basic story involves a hitman with childhood trauma (shown in crappy black and white flashbacks) and some chick that stalks him. Basically the hitman goes out kills his target has sex with some chick then kills her. (rinse and repeat) All the while the stalker keeps moving closer and closer to him. The violence is cheesy and sometimes awkward. (the hitman kills one guy in a steamroom without his towel on. That's a shitty way to go.) The sex is standard softcore stuff. Nothing Really interesting here.

Korean AV Girls #6382: Virgin Dracula (product link)
Erotica



Must be a pervert or have twisted sense of humor to enjoy this movie.

Oh my FUCKING GOD! You know what? Oh Your FUCKING GOD AS WELL! This is sleaze. Softcore sleaze at it's creepiest. Let me see if I can be subtle. Dracula likes blood. Women make a special "Lady Blood". Dracula likes "Lady Blood"! The movie deals with Dr. Dracula (nothing like Dr. Pepper...except the red spot) hunting for "Lady Blood". The movie has all kinds of weird sexual things going on beside that. One chick practices fellatio/titty fucking with a cucumber. Some guy has some kind of penis infection(?) that makes sex painful for him, which leads to scenes with him fending off horny women. Dracula bangs the cucumber chick in a sex swing. Crazy Stuff. This movie really steps beyond your average Korean AV. Now let me drive home the point that Korean AV is like softcore porn so there aren't any "messy" situations shown. (just implied) Part of the fun is watching the guy doing his Dracula shtick. He sniffs at their crotches and makes his move but they shove him back and explain now is not the time of month to "go downtown". Leading to Dracula having unenthusiastic sex with them. The very first scene has Dracula eyeballing his nurse's pad the whole time his banging her. He even steals it and runs off after he's done. Sick!

And that's just the start. The movie does a good job of out doing itself from scene to scene. The sex is on par with every other Korean AV I've seen but the story makes it one of a kind.

Battlefield Baseball (product link)
Action/Adventure / Comedy

It's an okay movie. It's like a Japanese Troma Film. Very cartoonish with wild antics.

It features a lot of sports cliches like losers overcoming the odds and renegade players reluctantly joining the team. The big let down was the lack of baseball. I was expecting something along the lines of Mutant League Sports (old EA video games).

Instead it's anime style action on a baseball field. It's good but could be better.

Big Boobs Buster (product link)
Comedy / Erotica

It's...interesting. Really it can't help it.

It involves a fairly flat-chested girl seeking revenge on her busty opposition. She wants to win the heart of a guy who only likes big breasts. Oddly, her idea of revenge is making molds of these girls' breasts. I'm not sure how that's revenge, I mean what can she do, show people not only are they big but they're symetrical? No lopsided lady lumps here. Oh well, It's not a movie to make sense of, just enjoy. It's got smut and laughs, and sometimes that's all you need.

Weather Woman DVD Collection [2-Disc Set] (product link)
Comedy / Erotica

A weird pair of movies. Basically a TV station drums up ratings when its "Weather Woman" flashes her panties. I can't say I can relate. All the forecasters I see are guys, and if they start hiking their skirts up there are a plethora of problems I don't even want to get into. But this isn't reality it's Japanese fantasy. Long story short: NAKED LADIES and perveted humor. The story is essentially the same in both films.

There are seperate casts so it's not the same NAKED LADIES which is good. Unless Kei Mizutani is your girl, in which case buy "Weather Woman" and call it a night.

Tokyo Shock Martial Arts Pack [3-Disc Set] (product link)
Martial Arts / Action/Adventure

A very nice collection here. I would say "7 Grandmasters" is the standout, and even a step above "Mystery of Chess Boxing" (aka "Ninja Checkmate") which features a similar cast and the same director (Joseph Kuo). "Red Wolf" is a decent action movie that has fighting and gun play. And then there's the "New Big Boss". It's ok just a little too "stylish" for me. A lot of focus (camera) was spent on upper body fighting. The speed with which the action is presented was somewhat disorienting. By comparison I would much rather see Donnie Yen in "Iron Monkey" or "Once Upon a Time in China 2". I just like them better and can't say I would buy "New Big Boss" on its own.

Ninja Fantasy / Fight Among The Supers [DOUBLE FEATURE] (product link)
Martial Arts / Action/Adventure

"Fight Among the Supers" is the movie to see here. It's a Kung Fu "Kuriosity". That basically means it gets wacky. If you were looking for something traditional you opened the wrong box. This movie features chopsticks fighting bowls (literally), one of the "gods" fighting his disembodied counterpart, and the crappiest "robot" I've ever seen. Yes, it's worse than the ones from the Bill & Ted movie. Still, some of the absurdity might elicit laughs. Plus it stands out because of its oddity appeal.

The box art is very misleading. I was expecting a "girls with guns" smutfest. Alas, what we get is ugly guys soft-porning with some decent chicks. I was really hoping to see hot chicks fake fighting with chains and axes. Nope, just some guys in mediocre brawls.

They can't all be "Virgin Draculas". Even the smut is average. Look for something better.

Daughter Of Darkness [Ocean Shores] (product link)
Horror / Erotica

Category 3. It is what it is. Sex and violence mixed with bits of humor. I dig it. It's not high class cinema. It's shock cinema. It aims to please the lowest standards of human entertainment. It features aspects of horror, drama, romance, and comedy being wildly juggled for your amusment (or lack there of). It's got rape, murder, and Anthony Wong (hell yeah!). That aside it's standard Cat 3 material. Someone is, or feels, wronged and they get revenge. Not for your average viewer.

Daughter Of Darkness 2 (product link)
Horror / Comedy

Almost as good as the original. Whatever that means. This movie has a similar setup to the original. Viscious murders, cops looking for suspects, and an unfolding story of rape and violence. I think the comedy here might be better (still lowbrow) but it just feels like an attempt to capitalize on the original. I think Anthony Wong is the one thing that really made the difference in my ratings. If you like Cat 3 movies it's decent and good for a watch. Everyone else can skip this.

Splendid movies. I just picked them up on a whim and was shocked. Very nice old school martial arts. The performers really delivered. The action also provided enough variety (across both movies) to maintain its entertainment value. These movies are well worth the cost no matter which versions you get.

Wong Fei Hung as a halfwit chef. Indiana Jones as a drug dealer. Yup! It's here in this movie. A funny little spoof with plenty of wacky comedy. The movie is a little limited in terms of action but what's there is decent. The comedy is quite funny although a little lowbrow. In one scene Wong Fei Hung literally gets into a pissing contest with his rival. The movie is quite good overall. Decent pace, recognizable parallels to the "Once Upon a Time" series, nice visuals, and decent acting. The only drawback is if you should dislike non-sense comedies. This isn't as out there as some but it could easily offend or irritate.

Korean AV Girls #6416: Hungry Pistols (product link)
Erotica

Sort of disappointing. You'd think with a title like "Hungry Pistols" and a hot chick on the cover there would be some chicks with guns, but noooo! It's just a series of scenes that I can't really see any connection between. It's your standard softcore sex.

The only thing that stands out is a bizarre scene that starts with a man and woman wrestling and leads to them humping in the ring. Sadly enough, that's not the weirdest thing I've seen in these kinds of films. Just an average title.

Hired Guns (product link)
Action/Adventure / Crime

I watched this movie once and just couldn't bring myself to watch it again. There's just nothing to really enjoy here. There's action, just nothing memorable. The characters and story didn't connect to me. Nothing really seems to work in this movie. It's not even bad enough to be good for a laugh. I would suggest skipping this movie.

Jiang Hu [LE 2-Disc Box] (product link)
Action/Adventure / Crime

A nice little crime drama. Not much on action so don't expect a shoot 'em up, John Woo style showdown. The big action sequence is a gang fight out in the rain. Beautiful to see. (The bonus disc [in the HK 2-disc set] has an unedited cut to watch.) This movie deals more with life in crime. The way up and down. The characters are decent, but perhaps cliched. The story won't blow your mind, but seems to be well written. It's really a solid movie. I think the average viewer of this genre will enojy this movie.
