Akmareul Boatda / I Saw The Devil (2010) - A perfect tale of revenge - 9/10 (13/06/11)

This movie is probably the heaviest one I have ever seen in terms of mental and physical brutality even though I know movies that touch me even more. Anybody that has problems with torture scenes, cannibalism, violations and explicit sexual content as...

Du bi quan wang yong zhan chu men jiu zi / One-Armed Swordsman vs. Nine Killers (1976) - The trash flick amongst the martial arts movies - 2/10 (01/06/11)

I must admit that I have seen the bad cut version of this movie. As soon as a fight begins and the enemies face each other, there is a cut and in the next seen, a dead man lies on the ground and the main actor continues its strange journey. I don't know...

Howaitoauto / Whiteout (2000) - Takes bits and pieces from the best examples to fusion it to an explosive movie - 7/10 (01/06/11)

This movie is a very entertaining mixture of "Die Hard", "Cliffhanger", "The Fugitive" and "The great silence" with a little touch of Asian culture, a very emotional background and a couple of smart little twists in the ending. Even though this movie...

Hak Bak Sam Lam / Colour Of The Truth (2003) - A soft introduction to the world of the Asian cinema - 7/10 (01/06/11)

Let me introduce you to this movie with a little warning. Don't expect it being a pure vengeance flick. You shouldn't also be misled by the fact that this movie comes from Hongkong and expect a high paced martial arts movie. This also isn't a movie about...

Yeogo Goedam 3 / Wishing Stairs (2003) - This movie should have gone further and hit harder - 6/10 (06/05/11)
