Posted May 17, 2009
82% Bakjwi (Thirst) (2009) " Those who thrive on gore, twisted sexuality and brutish handling of women can drink their fill from this film. More serious arthouse critics, however, may balk at the script's soapy excesses." — Hollywood Reporter
Posted May 15, 2009
45% Air Doll (Kūki ningyō) (2009) " The urban fairytale about an inflatable sex doll come to life gradually unfurls as an achingly beautiful meditation on loneliness and longing in the city." — Hollywood Reporter
Posted May 15, 2009
47% Spring Fever (Chun feng chen zui de ye wan) (2010) " This film is a considerable improvement as it generates intensity through the extreme intimacy among its minimalist cast." — Hollywood Reporter
Posted May 15, 2009
89% Il y a Longtemps que Je T'aime (I've Loved You So Long) (2008) " A scintillating drama about pain and healing made with intelligence and compassion." — Hollywood Reporter
Posted Oct 18, 2008
93% Man Jeuk (The Sparrow) (Cultured Bird) (2008) " Has a feather-light plot that flies in the face of credibility, but contains all the right components for an entertaining hit, like gracefully choreographed action sequences by martial arts veteran Yuen Biao, and a well-assembled cast." — Hollywood Reporter
Posted Oct 18, 2008
73% Tokyo! (2008) " The directors lay down strong stamps of personality in their choice of subjects and mise-en-scenes, while employing touches of fantasy that range from teasingly surreal to unsubtly grotesque." — Hollywood Reporter
Posted Oct 18, 2008
84% The Good, the Bad, and the Weird (2010) " A jaunty, happy-go-lucky adventure that packs a fistful of dynamite in the spectacular showdown." — Hollywood Reporter
Posted Oct 18, 2008
40% Dao huo xian (City Without Mercy) (Flash Point) (Fuse) (The Signal) (2007) " a plot of nail-biting tension" — Hollywood Reporter
Posted Mar 11, 2008
51% CJ7 (2008) " A hyperactive, wishful-thinking special effects fantasy suitable for family outings." — Hollywood Reporter
Posted Mar 5, 2008
87% Kābź (Kaabee) (Kabei: Our Mother) (2008) " Hits all the right spots to make you cry like chopping onions." — Hollywood Reporter
Posted Feb 14, 2008
3/5 —— Silenced (2011) " Although the film ultimately achieves its function to expose deep-rooted and far-reaching social injustice,its visceral representation of harrowing and morally repugnant scenes remains unnerving and questionable." — Hollywood Reporter
Posted Dec 26, 2011
65% Warlords (Tau ming chong) (2010) " Although the film is impressive in its physical aspects, the adultery of Pang and his blood brother's wife, Lian (Xu Jinglei), is underdrawn as a sexual skirmish whose influence on events is diminished." — Hollywood Reporter
Posted Apr 2, 2010
96% Revanche (2009) " With the rudiments of a crime thriller and the makings of a psychological suspense, the drawn-out unfolding of events encourages expectations of a smarter twist or more impressive ending." — Hollywood Reporter
