Righting Wrongs (product link) Girls With Guns / Martial Arts A well-made film with some cool fight scenes, but it was a bit too much of a downer for me.
Zeiram (product link) Girls With Guns / Science Fiction It's not really a terrible movie, and I can see why it has a cult following, but it just goes on for too long. I finished it but really I lost interest halfway through and never really got back into it.
Jakarta (product link) Action/Adventure / Crime My personal favorite Korean flick. You owe it to yourself to see this. A very clever, very funny heist flick.
She's On Duty (product link) Action/Adventure / Crime A good Korean comedy, but not a great one. The lead actess is very good, it was just kind of odd how the tone got so dark so quickly near the end. A mild thembs up.
You Shoot, I Shoot (product link) Comedy / Crime So, so, so, funny! Like many HK comedies, it does go a little too slapstick at times, but you have to expect that. A must-see if you like dark comedies.
She Shoots Straight (product link) Girls With Guns / Action/Adventure My personal favorie "Girls With Guns" flick, aside from "So Close". While some of the dramatic scenes seem a little drawn out this is a solid action/drama.
DOA: Dead Or Alive (product link) Action/Adventure / Martial Arts While the introduction of each character seems rushed and the first few fights are choppy (which can be expected since these girls are NOT martial artists), there were SOME great fight sequences. A fun movie to pop in if you want to put your brain on vacation for an hour and a half.

Your review is right on target. This isn't a martial arts extravaganza but it is fun to watch.
Attack The Gas Station (product link) Dark Comedy / Comedy A solid dark comedy, but the story drags out a little too long and it could have done without the ridiculous amount of cursing.
Sukebandeka: The Movie (product link) Action/Adventure / Crime Okay, first let me say that this is not a 4/5 star movie in the sense of "Cool Hand Luke" or "Goodfellas". This is just a classic example the Japanese 'B movie'. It was VERY entertaining.
Half the time I wasn't sure if the filmmakers were poking fun at themselves or were actually trying to be serious. Honestly, I don't think i've ever had this much fun watching a bad movie.
So Close (product link) Action/Adventure / Martial Arts This movie is awesome. It made it painfully clear to me how little US filmmakers know about action. The way Corey Yuen teases you with the women's sexuality really made it fun without turning the film to smut (but a LITTLE more skin would have been nice).
For Bad Boys Only (product link) Crime / Action/Adventure After reading the reviews I expected a lot more from this movie. I'm a big fan of Shu Qi and she had several roles in this film so that's a plus. But NONE of these roles ever even scratched the surface of her acting ability (what a waste).
This movie would have been much better if it had taken itself more seriously, it was far too silly. Especially since it is trying to pass itself off as an Action/Drama!
The plot was decent, but the characters were too cartoonish, and the overall production was too low-budget. When you make a movie about cloning, you better have some money to spend on the special effects.
I would STRONGLY recommend that you watch/rent this movie before buying it, because chances are this isn't a movie you'll want to watch more than once or twice (at the most).
The Arrival (product link) Science Fiction / Action/Adventure This is a very good sci-fi film that was totally ignored upon its release in theaters (it was over shadowed by such films as "Independence Day" and "Mission: Impossible"). The special effects aren't as impressive as they were seven years ago, but they're still good. This film has a bit of everything: suspense, action and, just a small dose of comedy (but VERY little comedy). A bit of everything for everyone.
