First of all, every movie released in Japan is described as a "big hit" in advertisements after...

When Jon recently asked me to join the PCS team, he said I could blog about anything I wanted. Because of my affiliation with Secret Identities, I figured I could talk about where Asian Americans and pop culture intersect. And while I love comics, movies and TV as much as the next pop culture junkie, [...]

Leonardo DiCaprio continues to film scenes for Christopher Nolan’s Inception along with Ken Watanabe and Ellen Page at LAX airport on Monday (October 26). The 34-year-old actor goofed around with the crew and at one point even stuck his finger in his nose! Leo may be teaming up with director Martin Scorsese next year for a new [...]

You know what I love? I love people who watch lots of horror movies and read horror books. Because they believe what they read and hear, and come packing silly things like crosses and holy water, instead of weapons which...

CIRQUE DU FREAK is the better first movie thanks to its freak show environment that allows us to meet all sorts of bizarre-looking and -acting souls, including John C. Reilly's Larten Crepsley. Half the time, I wasn't sure if I was supposed to be laughing at Reilly's portrayal of this foppish ringleader, who changes Darren into his own personal Renfield (go read your “Dracula” if you don't...

Up Where The Wild Things Are In the US : Spike Jonze's children's adaptation WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE makes a decent debut with $32m to nab #1, but it'll be interesting to see where it ends up next week (as many people have complained it's not quite the kid-friendly film it's being sold as)... Death Wish is essentially remade (yes, again) with Gerard Butler in LAW ABIDING CITIZEN , which underperforms...

There's plenty to like about Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant: A winning script by director Paul Weitz and Oscar owner Brian Helgeland; a fascinating cast that includes John C. Reilly, Ray Stevenson, Salma Hayek, and Ken Watanabe; and special effects that, while limited, effectively establish the otherworldly quality of the material. So why did Universal, still looking for its own to profit...
