After months of waiting the first trailer for Gordon Chan’s Bride With White Hair throwback film Painted Skin arrived and after being teased with a string of gorgeous still images the response to the trailer was a tad underwhelming. You see, that trailer - which was released for the Malaysian market - was really nothing more than one of the very early sales promo reels, edited together quickly and...

Rent It The past decade (+) has been pretty abysmal for stunt/martial film fans. Sure, I'll grant that there have been a few blips, be it the forward thinking choreography that Donnie Yen has employed din his recent efforts, David Belle's dangerous "Parkour" urban acrobatics, or Tony Jaa's old school, bone break awesomeness. Still, decreased interest from film goers and increased film expenses have...

Mmmm New on DVD this week is the latest morality/crime thriller from Woody Allen Cassandra's Dream (2008) starring Colin Farrell, Ewan MacGregor and Tom Wilkinson. The Weinstein's played a release shell game with the theatrical release, finally dumping it in January's no-man land.

Yes, it is my fifth day here in Cannes a day which henceforth shall be referred to as the day with the worst screening karma known to man. My success rate getting to see the film sthat I planned to see? One for four, and neither Tokyo nor Ashes of Time Redux were that one. Sigh.

To say that Tony Ching’s martial arts epic An Empress And The Warriors drew a lukewarm critical response is being kind, reviews from both The Visitor and Stefan in these pages being strongly negative. I actually enjoyed this one significantly more than either of those two and the film is certainly not without its fans and if you're one of those who likes their martial arts action old-school then it's...

The insanely awesome Donnie Yen launches into inhuman feats of fight choreography that lifts this cop flick to a zen-like state of martial arts enlightenment.
