Cyborg Girl (product link) Romance / Science Fiction I didn't know what to expect with this movie. The synopsis didn't seem like much, but I still bought it. A really fast-moving movie. The action scenes were a plus. The two leads were very believable. I just really enjoyed it and look foward to watching it again.
Hula Girl (product link) Comedy / Drama I just watched this movie and I think I'll watch it again. Was kind of skeptical about the story but instantly became a believer. A genuine feel-good movie. You'll laugh, cry and enjoy yourself
Bullet And Brain (product link) Crime / Action/Adventure Didn't expect to, but I loved this movie. Action, humor, even a hint of romance; and when you think you have it figured out, gotcha'.
Love And Honor (product link) Drama / Romance A really great movie. Great characters, a study in human emotion. A movie that will surprise you with its simple story about the title Love and Honor.
Ghost Mother (product link) Horror / Thriller A lot better than I thought it was going to be. Never thought that such a pretty girl could look so skanky when she's in her ghost state.
Closed Note (product link) Drama / Romance Totally enjoyed the story, which moved between the diary and the present. Pleasant leads, pleasant story. Sometimes you have to put all the blood and violence away for something completely different. Kinda' got thrown by the ending a little, but really liked this movie and will watch it again in the near future.
Birdcage Inn (product link) Drama / Romance This movie grows on you. At first I was wondering why I was even watching it, but my patience was rewarded. One of those studies of the human spirit that we all need to offset all the over-the-top action movies. If you watch it, stay with it.
Cop Shop Babes (product link) Comedy / Crime A comedy that has its moments--and also Carina Lau, which is saying a lot. Pays homage to movies like "Silence Of The Lambs". Also has some funny dialogue--and Carina Lau.The cast is very good looking, especially Carina Lau. A pleasant surprise.
Gonin 2 [DOUBLE FEATURE] (product link) Action/Adventure / Crime Not only action but a story to boot. Loved the RUN character. All the female leads were good. I guess I'll have to watch "Gonin 1" now.
The Machine Girl (product link) Action/Adventure / Girls With Guns Entertaining movie. Perfect for a night when you don't know what to watch but want to occupy yourself without too much thinking or analyzing a flick.
Karaoke Terror (product link) Dark Comedy / Drama I've always wanted to see this movie when I missed it at the Asian film festival a few years ago. It's unlike any revenge film you'll ever see as the violence escalates along with the weapons. I'm glad I missed it at the festival so I could own it.
2000 AD (product link) Action/Adventure A great action film. It seems like the action is one of those roller coaster rides. It keeps a minimal plot going like the energizer bunny. You won't fall asleep on this one
Nightmare Detective (product link) Horror / Thriller Slow in spots but has some very creepy moments. A sexy and beautiful detective also helps in those slow spots. This will be the next foreign horror movie that us Americans will ruin (see "The Grudge", "The Eye", and "Pulse" to name a few). But, all in all, a cut above the norm.
Attention Please: Special 2 - Fly Me To Sydney (product link) TV Shows/Movies / Drama [The subtitles on the version I watched were] a little hard to follow, but I would enjoy anything with Aya Ueto in it. She's just so adorable. The movie itself is kind of entertaining. Some of the comedy is actually humorous. There is a moral at the end. Try it.
In The Lap Of God (product link) Comedy A passable romantic comedy. Irene Wan is adorable, but in her later films she's a very sexy woman. Two people who seem to hate each other are always arguing but predicatably end up together. But it's nice to watch Irene Wan.
The Suicide Song (product link) Horror / Thriller A lot better than I thought it was going to be. Not a typical teen gore fest. Actually had a story to it. My favorite character was Aunt Enma, who had only a minute or two. Cute girls, good story.
Dark Forest (product link) Horror / Thriller Started off pretty good. Kinda slowed a little in the middle. But the ending was pretty good. A sort of "Evil Dead" type film without Bruce Campbell for comic relief.
L: Change The World (product link) Thriller / Science Fiction Not at all like the first two, which were real good, but this one has its own charm.
But now an editorial: I hope this review lives up to the 4-page reviews that some of you send in. 5 sentences about the movie and the rest to use that dictionary you have. When I look at the list of movies to buy, I read what it's about then see if there are any customer reviews. I read to see if they liked it and other movies they've seen and liked. I have nothing against the review of the month club and its members should accept us three-sentence reviewers too.
Party 7 (product link) Crime / Action/Adventure A very strange movie, but I found it funny with all the crazy things that occur pretty rapidly. Hooray for Captain Banana.
