Ong-Bak: Muay Thai Warrior (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure "Ong-Bak" is a good film, starring the amazing Tony Jaa. Jaa plays Ting, a young monk in training. When the head of their sacred statue is stolen by a local drug dealer, he goes to recover it. In his journey he is assisted by Humlae (Petchtai Wongkamlao), a member of the village that had left long ago to seek his fortune. Through several get rich quick scams he has made plenty of enemies that keep them very busy. In the end, the movie is interesting and action-packed. You won't get bored with the action and the story keeps you interested.
SPL: Sha Po Lang (product link) Crime / Drama "Kill Zone" is an awesome movie. It is the story of Ma Kwun, a dedicated police officer with an adopted daughter, going up against his sworn enemy, Wong Poo, a large scale drug dealer. After Ma is diagnosed with a brain tumor, his best men go on the war path to secure a large some of money for Ma and his daughter after his early retirement. On their mission Wong Poo does not like his money disappearing or being set up for murder.
The film is not as action-filled as some of the other films of similar genres. The story is awesome, the characters are likable. All in all it's a great movie with wonderful characters and a memorable story.
Bone Sickness [Extended Directors Cut] (product link) Horror / Thriller "Bone Sickness" is the story of Alex McNetti. He is terminally ill with a sickness in his bones. His friends and family are desperate for the cure that doctors say does not exist. This is when Alex’s friend Thomas Granger decides to get him some bones from the dead to reconstruct his bones. As he eats more of the tainted meat he starts to regenerate his strength and seems to be on the road to recovery. This is where things go awry and the dead decide they want their bones back.
The story is about what you would expect from a zombie film, but the gore--my god the gore is out of this world. The sheer amount of blood in this film could fill a swimming pool. But what else do we expect from an Unearthed Films DVD?
"Visions Of Suffering" is a Russian horror film set primarily in a techno club. This is one of the strangest movies I have ever seen. It was so exciting it put me to sleep twice. Either the symbolism in the story is so amazingly complex I had almost zero idea what was going on, or I hope that was symbolism in the vain hope the movie had a plot. In the end I believe it is a form of anti-drug propaganda. If you take drugs, evil demons will come in storms to rip your flesh from your bones and rape your corpse.
As with most Unearthed Films releases, it has some great blood and gore but definitely not the best.
"Dororo" is the tail of Dororo and Hyakkimaru. Hyakkimaru is the son of Kagemitsu Daigo who sold the body of his son to demons for the power to conquer the world. Hyakkimaru is found by a healing shaman and given a fake body. He goes on a quest to kill the 48 demons to get his body back. He is joined by a thief named Dororo who is on a vendetta against Kagemitsu Daigo for the death of her family. They join forces in a similar goal against a menagerie of strange demons and monsters. In the end the story is good with some good sword fight sequences.
"Oneechanbara" is the story of a post apocalyptic Japan over run by zombies. The story of a small group of survivors that ban together in similar goals. The main character Aya is searching for the person that murder her father, Katsuji is searching for his sister, and Reiko is searching for the creator of the zombie plague Dr. Sugita. As with most zombie films the story is not very important. It’s the basic kill everything that moves and well trying not to hurt your friends. The sword fights are like something pulled from Dragon Ball Z, and most the characters are pretty hollow. All in all if you like zombies, swords, and again cowgirls in bikinis you will like this film.
Rob-B-Hood (product link) Action/Adventure / Comedy "Rob-B-Hood" is an action film from Jackie Chan that feels more like his older work with more action and amazing stunts. The story is kind of unusual in that Jackie is a villain. He and his thief friends fall on hard times and end up taking one final job--kidnapping a baby for a crime lord for the amount of $7,000,000--but as soon as they get the kid, everything falls apart. Their leader is arrested and the contact disappears, leaving Jackie and his partner to babysit. Soon they realize they have no idea what to do, and this leads them on a crazy laugh-filled adventure. All in all this is one of the best Jackie Chan movies released recently.
Police Story 3: Supercop (product link) Martial Arts / Comedy "Supercop" is the third in the "Police Story" series. I was looking forward to watching this film and it has a great mix of Jackie Chan's amazing martial arts and slapstick humor.
La Blue Girl [Live Action] Perfect Blue Box [3-Disc Set] (product link) Erotica / Science Fiction "La Blue Girl" is a soft core pornographic film that tries to bring something to the industry that is normally overlooked: story.
This is the story of Miko and Miyu Bido, two ninjas of the Bido clan. They are attacked by a sex fiend, and during the vicious battle Miyu is impregnated with the demon child. Miko is charged with its protection. Miko is soon met by two ninja of the Miroku clan, Hiro, and Yaku Miroku. They join Miko on a quest to find the missing demon child, Yaku Miroku. Even with the forces of the Miroku clan gathering, will Miko be able to save her sister's child and live up to her promise?
All in all the story is kind of flimsy but better then most pornographic films. There is some mediocre martial arts and swordplay in the film but it always feels slow and kind of clumsy.
The Young Master (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure "The Young Master" is a wonderful film from Jackie Chan, where he plays Dragon, a student of Sang Kung's school of martial arts. In a contest with a competing school, his brother betrays their master and wins for there adversaries. After Sang Kung finds out, his brother leaves and Dragon goes on a quest to save his brother from crime lords that plan to manipulate him. He is faced with a rabid cop, the cop's son with a chip on his shoulder, and a master crime lord with very impressive martial arts skill. It is a very funny movie with continuous action. A great example of Jackie Chan's amazing skills.

I am sorry man, but 4 1/2 star, did you not see Jackie getting beat down like no other in the last part of this film? But the guy with the horse kung fu took the show away from Jackie. I believe that this movie is at least 3 stars for the horrible ending
"The Legend of Drunken Master" ("Drunken Master 2") is the story of Wong Fei-Hung. He is sober and taking a pledge of non-violence. On a return trip from getting herbs for his father's medical practice, he smuggles ginseng aboard the train. When he goes to retry it he gets in a fight with a special agent of the government. When he gets home he discovers he has a stolen jade seal. He is tracked by a government agent who plans on steeling the seal and selling it abroad. He is forced to draw up his wine and take back the history of his great nation. This is one of the funniest Jackie Chan movies ever with some of the most skillful fighting I have seen him perform. A definite must-see film.
"Project A 2" is the sequel to "Project A", where Dragon Mao is now a decorated officer of the navy. He and his team from the first movie are recruited by the police to help fix the problems with the most crime-infested district in Hong Kong. As he makes the city safer he gets more and more enemies, eventually being set up by the rebellion, hunted by corrupt police officers, and tracked down from pirates with a grudge over their lost captain. All in all I think this film is kind of average in comparison to his other films.
Project A [1983] (product link) Martial Arts / Comedy "Project A" is one of my favorite Jackie Chan movies. It is the story of Dragon Mi Yong, a sailor in the navy. After several botched missions and pirate sabotage, he is forced into the police and the navy is shut down. After the restrictions the police put on them, he quits and joins forces with a thief named Fei to get some stolen rifles that the police had sold to the pirates. After the pirates attack several hostages, Dragon Mi Yong resurrects the navy to hunt down and capture the pirate Lor Sam Pau. The action in this movie is awesome, with one of the best sword fighting scenes I have ever seen.
Let The Right One In (product link) Horror / Thriller "Let The Right One In" is the tail of Oskar, a small boy in Sweden that is beaten up by some of the other children, neglected by his parents, and needs a friend. This is when he meets Eli, a mysterious girl that only appears at night. She is accompanied by her papa, a quiet man that hunts down people and drains them of their blood. The blood is used to feed Eli and keep her out of harm's way. Oskar eventually learns from Eli as she teaches him to stand up for himself. When on one of his hunts Eli's papa is captured by the police, Eli is forced to fend for herself, and the only person that can help her is Oskar. How far is he willing to go to protect a monster?
The Orphanage (product link) Ghost / Thriller "The Orphanage" is a Spanish horror-thriller film. The story is the tale of Laura, who moves into to her old orphanage with her husband and adopted son Simon. Simon starts making friends with six invisible children lead by Thomas. One day he vanishes without a trace. She goes on a hunt to find him before time runs out. I would say more but I would be afraid of giving up any plot points.
The movie builds great suspense but it never really goes for a big shock scare. It uses small details and subtlety to generate horror, which it does masterfully. All in all a decent watch for a couple of trips to an abandoned orphanage where you watch the story the first time and the details you missed the second time.
"Operation Condor" is an awesome film. It is like "Indiana Jones" in Asian. It is full of awesome action scenes and a compiling list of characters. The story is based on Jackie Chan as a treasure hunter in search of Nazi gold hidden in a lost base in North Africa, where he encounters several groups also looking for the same treasure with no limits on how far they will go to get it. The story is good and the fighting is awesome. It is truly a great work for a man that can masterly mix action and comedy into a great piece of film.
The "Armor Of God" is the sequel to "Operation Condor". In this installment Jackie's history is revealed, as a young pop singer with a broken heart that leads him to a life as a treasure hunter for hire. This adventure centers around getting the Armor Of God, and rescuing his lost love from the good old days when he was in the band. He is accompanied by her present boyfriend and an expert with the Armor Of God. Will this mismatched team be able to save the Armor and their lives? This is a great addition and continues Jackie Chan's amazing mix of action and comedy.

Don't be suckered by the american switcharoo hackjobs! AOM is from 1986, and OC is from 1991!
Tom Yum Goong (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure "The Protector" is a slightly above average martial arts film. If you love Muay Thai fighting styles, you will love the action in this movie. The story I think was rather thin: a Thai boy named Kham must find the people that stole his elephant. On the way, he stumbles upon a gang conspiracy, crooked cops, and some insane martial artists. The action scenes are good, but the story just seems to drag on and skew off in directions that have little to do with the main character.
I have not seen the short version - The Protector. Tom Yum Goong is not the best perhaps in script but you have to admit Jaa does things no one else has ever done!
Audition (product link) Horror / Art "Audition" is the story of Aoyama, a lonely old man that lost his wife several years ago. After a comment from his son that he is looking old, he decides to remarry. He does not want to date or use a match maker, so with the help of a friend they hatch a plan: they will hold an audition for a movie, and the girl they choose will marry Aoyama.
When going through the applicants, he falls for a women named Asami. After a few dates, she vanishes and Aoyama goes on a quest to find her and discover her mysterious past of suffering before she finds him.
I have to say, this may be one of the world’s hardest films to follow. Don’t get me wrong, it is very well done, but you may need to watch it several times to get the general idea of what is going on.
Zee Oui (product link) Drama / Thriller "Zee Oui: The Man-Eater" is the based on a true story of Li Hui Ung, a Chinese immigrant that moves to Thailand in search of work. When he arrives he is sent to work for a family as a chicken butcher. They are mean and torment him, especially their children.
Eventually he steals some money and runs away. He works for a rice farm for awhile, where he is deeply affected by severe asthma. He remembers an old remedy for all things, a broth made from the hearts of humans. He starts abducting children and eating their hearts. He is eventfully captured by the police, with the assistance of an operative reporter.
The movie does a good job of keeping him a person and letting you feel his pain. At times you feel sorry for him and ask yourself "what would I do in his situation?"
Police Story 2 (product link) Martial Arts / Comedy "Police Story 2" takes off exactly at the point that the first one left off. After the first exciting adventure of Jackie, he finds himself in need of a vacation. He goes to leave with his girlfriend when he is tracked down by his mangers and brought in on a case of a bomb-planting terrorist, where he is joined by a team of professional trackers to bring these terrorists to justice. Is Jackie the man for this case? Or will they tack everything he loves? This is another action-packed film by Chan and a perfect sequel to such a wonderful film.
The Virgin Suicides (product link) Drama / Art "The Virgin Suicide" is one of the most emotional movies you will ever see. The story is about five friends that had huge crushes on the five girls across the street. When the youngest of the five attempts suicide, their overly protective parents decide they need more social interaction. During a large party, the youngest daughter succeeds at suicide, and the parents go crazy. They lock them up and hide them from the world. The young boys become their only link to the outside world. As their feelings for each other grow, they concoct a plan to meet and run away together. This movie is amazingly emotional and shows a story of growing up with terrible tragedy.
Police Story (product link) Martial Arts / Comedy "Police Story" is, in my opinion, the greatest film that Jackie Chan has ever made. It is unbelievably funny and still maintains a very serious story: an elite police officer aids in the capture of a known crime lord. When the criminal gets off scott free and tries to frame Jackie for the murder of another police officer, Jackie must go beyond the law to save himself from jail time--all while trying to maintain a relationship with his girlfriend that is jealous of the key witness to his case that he is charged with protecting. This film is the funniest thing I have seen in years and boasts some of Jackie's most impressive stunts.

One of Chan's best if not his best. Incredible stunts
Drunken Master (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure "Drunken Master" is an earlier film where Jackie Chan plays the role of a spooled child. Through a series of mistakes, he disgraces his father so much that he sends him to a new master. He continues in his arrogant way until he is defeated by a kung fu assassin that belittles him and insults him. He then finds the need for a master and trains hard and eventually is taught the way of the 8 Drunken Gods. At this great moment his father is targeted by the kung fu assassin. Can Jackie defeat him with his new found skills? This is a pretty funny film with some awesome action scenes.
Who Am I? (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure "Who Am I" is the usual fare from Jackie Chan: an exciting mix of action-packed martial arts and great humor that never crosses the line into inappropriate behavior.
The story is simple in concept and is well executed. Jackie plays an Elite Special Forces operative that is double-crossed by a CIA double agent. He loses his memory in a helicopter crash and, through a series of unusual events, becomes the greatest celebrity in South Africa. Which brings him to the attention of CIA, police, and military. He teams up with a reporter and race car driver to reclaim his lost memory and discover why he was set up.
It is a very entertaining movie the whole family can enjoy.
Tabanfire (product link) Martial Arts / Thriller "Dynamite Warrior" is very interesting mix of genres. For instance, you have the western, with cattle and farm hands being attacked and robbed by bandits. On the other hand you have evil wizards that use magic to throw telekinetic attacks, and heroes that use rockets instead of guns.
The story takes place in Thailand in 1855. A man named Jone Bang Fai is on a mission to find his parents' killer. When he finds the evil wizard, he learns that he cannot defeat him. Jone is contracted by Lord Waeng who knows the secret of defeating the sorcerer. Lord Waeng has hired several bandit groups to ambush cattle traders to drum up sales for his tractor business. These groups have been defeated several times by the wizard and this starts his devious plot.
The action is good if you enjoy Muay-Thai fighting styles. The movie is an entertaining watch for the action and little story.
"The Host" is the story of a giant mutant that I believe is derived from a salamander. The story follows Park and his attempt to find his daughter after the monster attacks the water side restaurant they live in. When the military blocks off the area as a biohazard and arrests Park, Park has no choice but to break free from a military prison and fight the biohazardous mutant to save his daughter. I am trying not to give too much information, but with such little story it is hard.
I found the story to be fairly long and drawn out. I think they tried too hard to make the main character, which it would seem should be sympathetic, instead just pathetic and stupid. Also the way the other characters keep coming in and falling out of the story at what appeared to be random intervals makes them very hard to understand or care for. Overall a little bit of a disappointment from a film with I expected very little of.

I actually enjoyed the film much more than you, but I think all your points are valid, particularly that the film was way too long and that characters kind of came and went at random.
"Nightmare Detective" is the story of a young woman that has joined the local police force when, one day early in her career, she is called to the scene of a strange death. When they arrive, they find a young woman with a slashed throat. It appears to be the scene of a very bloody and horrific suicide. The only evidence is a strange phone number found on the victim's phone.
When later that day they report to the scene of another suicide, witnessed by the victim's wife. The victim lay in bed and repetitively stabbed himself in the neck. Again the strange phone number is the only lead.
So, with little evidence to go on, the only plan is to get the killer to reveal themself by calling the strange number. Soon after the call, the officer that called the number is found dead. In her desperation, our protagonist calls the mystery number and, with the help of a dream-reading psychic, they try to break the case before the killer finds them.
The overall story is okay. The gore effects are pretty well done--not the best, but still very good. Not a bad watch overall.
Flash Point (product link) Action/Adventure / Martial Arts "Flash Point" is the average undercover police story in almost every way. The thing that sets it apart from other films like it is some very amazing and well done fight scenes with some amazing acrobatic feats. There is really not much to say about it. It has a fairly slow going story that about halfway through escalates quickly in to an action packed thrill ride.
This is the end of a great mystery. What happened to the legendary L as the 23 days counted down? What was his final mission? The story starts just at the end of the second movie. L is finishing all of his unfinished business when he is contacted by a fellow agent, K. K reports to him that the village he was investigating was attacked by a viral weapon of some sort. And he needs Wateri to help his friend F that was somehow immune to the viral agent. Soon he is contacted by a young girl whose father hade developed an antidote and died to protect it. The environmental protectors none as blue ship had developed the weapon to destroy non accentual humans in order to save the planet, but with no antidote they could not protect themselves. Can L take on such a large challenge with little time left? Can L save the world?
Personally I think the idea of mixing such a great fantasy story with such good characters and story with a half-baked storey of terrorists and biological weapons was a poor ending for such a great series. But maybe it is all in the same sense that evil to create a new world is still corrupt and will only serve to our destruction.
Harakiri [1990] (product link) Horror / Erotica "Harakiri" is an amazing film in the way it presents itself. There is little to no story in each segment. But each segment has a strange beauty to it. The mix of emotion presented by the actress is too hard to explain. The mixture of joy, fear, intrigue, eroticism, and the embrace of death itself creates a rainbow of human emotions. The films are among the bloodiest I have ever seen, with an armature style of filming gives them an amazing feel of reality. The gore effects are off the map. Really, watch this with the right person and their lunch well be in your lap. I would only suggest this to fans of major blood and gore cinema.
"Death Note 1" is about a law student named Light. He suddenly becomes interested in the fate of criminals the police have been tracking. When he discovers how many go free, he starts to lose his faith in the law. This is when he finds a great gift: a book--and not any book, the Death Note book. Any person’s name that is written in the book will die. But as the death toll rises, the police get suspicious that the deaths are not accidental, and he starts to get carried away with the power of the Death Note. The story is good and the ending you will never predict.
"Death Note 2" continues exactly where "Death Note 1" leaves off. With this installment a new Note Book and a new death god, Misa Amane, a TV actress, finds the book and Light. Two books and two death gods working together for the vision of a new world. But her carelessness and ignorance get her captured. What will light do to avoid capture? Who will win the final round, Kira or L? Another great story with an fitting ending for a great series.

I never read the manga but nontheless the film is fantastic.
Battle Royale 2 (product link) Horror / Thriller The game has begun again and the story is more flimsy then before. When they fight each other now, they are broken into teams of two and sent to an island to kill a terrorist, Shuya Nanahar, who has declared war on adults for the Battle Royale act. Some other changes have been made for the change of objective, like they all have guns, armor, communicators... Their inexperience shows when they walk into an ambush set up by Shuya. Instead of killing them, Shuya shows them the truth. They are the same, and a shaky alliance is formed. When this plan fails, the government declares war on Shuya and his rebel fighters. This is when the truly royal battle begins. The action is good but the story is far from great, and the end is a load with several unanswered questions.
Pray (product link) Horror / Thriller "Pray" is the story of two desperate criminals, Mitsuru and Maki. They kidnap a child for ransom, but when they call her parents they are told that she has been dead for exactly one year to the day. Then whom did they kidnap? When they check on her, she is gone. Thus begins a horrifying game of cat and mouse.
The movie is not very scary and there are few horror elements to it. The story has very little close to the end, but the little there is was very touching. A happy ending to a terrible story.
Vol. 1: The story starts with three strangers that witness the brutal stabbing of a young woman. They become friends and to celebrate there friend ship they decide to throw a party. But when only Kensuke fiends a date it is starting to look very grim for their party. On the way Kensuke is jumped and his date is raped, they decide to throw a new party, one of blood and vengeance. If you're looking for extreme blood and gore I would go somewhere else. Most of the movie is them being turned down by girls with one big bang in the end.
Vol. 2: The story is pretty much not there. A boy is beaten by a gang for money, and when he tries to find help they kidnap and beat them. Unlike the first part of the series, there is more gore and blood in this movie than you can shake a stick at. There is rape, torture, and death at a premium and you are in the first row.
Vol. 3: The last chapter is about a perverted boy named Kiku. While searching for flies in the garbage, he finds some pantyhose and other personal items belonging to a local women. He starts to have a crush on a woman he knows only through her garbage. He collects parts of her old day planners and starts to stalk her. Slowly he loses all contact with reality.
In Conclusion: This is one of the darkest things I have seen in the course of my life. By the time the credits rolled I felt terrible to be a human. When I had finally finished the series, it proved humans were less than trash. We could take something that meant something to someone and destroy it without a thought or care. “We are incomplete corpses moving through life to become perfect corpses.”
Mortal Reflection (product link) Horror / Thriller "Mortal Reflection" proves that the entire world loves a b-grade horror film. The story of is a young girl who is raped by two boys, and in her anger she wishes them dead. The evil spirit in her mirror hunts them down and kills them with pieces of glass. When the police start to suspect her, she becomes aware of the spirit that then tries to kill the police and, like all b-grade movies, her new love interest.
I won’t say any more. There is not much to the story, and if I keep going I will give it all away. The kill scenes are decent but few, and the story leaves much to be desired.
Samurai Reincarnation (product link) Action/Adventure / Martial Arts "Samurai Reincarnation" is the story of Shiro, a Christian leader whose followers where slaughtered by the government. When the dust has settled, only he was left. This is when he makes a deal with dead spirits floating between the realms of life and death. He would give them life for their own reasons and revenge. The only one that stands in their way of destroying the government and overthrowing the nation is Jubei, a lone samurai. Will Jubei be able to defeat Shiro and save the nation from the supernatural threat?
2LDK (product link) Dark Comedy / Action/Adventure 2LDK is a dark comedy about two girls that are auditioning for the same part in a movie. Evan though they want the same thing they could not be anymore different. With the stress of an approaching opportunity and the anger they have towards each other comes to a head in a flurry of horrible violence.
The story is amazingly dark and very funny in a way that discusses you to laugh. The ending is very predictable but movies like this are not watched for story. So enjoy the horrible fortunes of these two young girls they would laugh at your pain too...
"Philosophy Of A Knife" is a very, very, very, long movie that doesn’t have much of a story or a point. The movie starts with an interview with an old man that lived in the area during the time Japan's research base 731 was operational. The majority of the story is spent with a very calm narrator that gives a brief description of the research they are doing, then a very brutal demonstration of what the procedure was like. I personally would have been more interested on the segments on biological or chemical weapons, instead we just see a lot of physical torture with little understanding of the research being done. Also it is amazingly aggravating at the end of the movie to show the places and memorials in Russia and Japan with no translation. All in all, if the movie has a point I think it is this: be wary of the ways you fight demons, for one day you may find that you have become the greatest demon of all.
The Eye 10 (product link) Horror / Thriller "The Eye 10" is the final part of the "Eye" trilogy by the Pang Brothers. If you have not seen a Pang Bothers film, they have an almost magical ability to turn the ordinary into the most horrifying things in your life, but they can also bring a humor to the story and keep it serious at the same time. The movie takes place with five friends that are vacationing in Thailand. One night, as they are sitting telling ghost stories, they try using a book that allows them to see spirits, but it does more then that. During one of the first games, one of their friends disappears without a trace. When nothing is found, they return home and try to carry on their normal lives, which gets more and more difficult as the power of the personal hauntings starts to grow. Soon they realize that they have to return to Thailand and finish the book before the book finishes them.
The Eye 2 (product link) Horror / Thriller "The Eye 2" is an above average horror movie. After the first one I don’t think this one can compare to the original. The story is more about the Buddhist belief in reincarnation than anything else. The story is good with some big twist during the story and an ending you would never predict. The story is about a young girl named Joey. She is vacationing in Thailand and having problems with her boyfriend. She attempts suicide. When she awakens she soon learns that she is pregnant. That is when she starts to see the spirit of a strange woman. This does not seem to bother her much at first, until she sees the ghost suicide on the subway tracks. Now she has to find out the identity of the depressed specter in order to save her baby and herself.

"The Eye 2" fails where the first one succeeds. The film itself is overlong, and too predictable. It seemed as if the directors didn't even try to scare the audiece too, it just a sequel to make quick cash. Horror sequels often fail hard.
