"Outskirts", from great Soviet director Boris Barnet, is a strange little film - it drifts along amiably for the first half, then radically changes direction twice. It is also a mishmash of genres,...
It was so good I am watching it again . A very good story and great acting. Why the name tomato you may ask? well it was told this way: You can read from left to right or righ to left it is...
This is NOT the "Master Killer" I was looking for as I have been a fan of both "The Master Killer" and "The Return of the Master Killer". The "Master Killer" series I remember had Gordon Liu...
WARRIOR FROM SHAOLIN-this movie has a great cast incuding Lily Li but there is just not much fighting. The story is unbearable and finally we get some really good action in the final fight....
Hiroshi Inagaki's Samurai Trilogy comes to a worthy conclusion with 1956's Duel at Ganryu Island. In this installment Inagaki manages to tie up all of his hanging plot points quite nicely.
if you're like me then you've read Musashi "nice jobt man". Well after reading the book you where probably like "now i will buy and watch the movies". Well tlet me tell ya that only the First movie...
Out of the 3 discs, why is this one so poor in transfer quality in comparison to the other 2? I suppose Criterion could not find the original film masters from which to make a proper digital...
A riveting war film and an incredibly compelling treatise on de-colonialism, The Battle of Algiers is a fascinating film which is no less interesting or topical today...
I recently saw this movie and for me it has some interesting features but is far from being the ultimate war movie it was supposed to be. Maybe at the time it was released it had something new to...
I won't waste space waxing lyrical on what a brilliant film this is. I'll cut to the chase. This is very possibly the most evil film ever made. The fact that it is very artfully done, makes it...
If you purchase the theatrical version (which is cheaper) you will miss the absolutely beautiful moments containing the metaphor of humanity's long walk. That's like buying a recording of Handel's...
This movie is quite horrible, just as horrible as Bergman's own experience with these people I guess. Given the "realism" of this movie it is very useful in order to avoid all the crazy, oppressive...
As Christmas draws near, I just have to watch this film again! It is extremely long and I watched it in a few aittings last time, but if you have the time to watch the whole film you will be...
A powerhouse film that will shake you to your core...
I'm going to divulge some very personal information here, but to anyone that is familiar with my reviews they will know that this is not unlike me. I don't have a personal blog (although I really...
Scenes from a Marriage is one of those movies that deserves an award (in addition to the ones it has already accumulated) for its status as one of the most overrated films in cinema history....
Classic Polish Television Series About Folklore Hero Janosik
Folklore has it that the bandit Janosik robbed from the rich and gave to the poor on the Slovakian and Polish side of the Tatra Mountains. "Janosik" is a classic 1970s Polish television program,...
I borrowed this DVD from the library to try it before buying it and I'm glad I did. The commentary moved too quickly for my 7-year-old, who soon got frustrated and then bored. They repeated the...
I am very pleased with this video. My son is 3 years old and he loves watching it. He already is singing along and saying phrases from it. He knew a little spanish before watching the movie so I...
I purchased this DVD for my bright grandchildren, aged 4 and 2 because they seemed to be very attracted to "DORA" and her Spanish pronunciations, often using her simplistic lessons in their...
Dark, Mysterious and Yet Eventually Giving Way to Spring
Krzysztof Kieslowski was a filmmaker from Poland who made his name in the 1980's. I first encountered his work in Blue which was not well received in the United States and was regarded as rather...
The Decalogue is one of several excellent TV series by European directors that puts US TV to shame. Like Bergman's "Scenes from a Marriage" & "Fanny & Alexander," von Trier's "The Kingdom,"...
After watching all ten hours of The Decalogue (plus extras), I must say I wasn't all that impressed. It was worthwhile as the chance to see the early work of a director who later gained...
Be warned that this transfer is so blurry and bad that I couldn't imagine anything being worse. It looks like a bootleg and it was so bad I couldn't even finish watching the first movie...
I love the actual real martial arts displayed by Jet Li and others including Donnie Yen in this 3pack. I am not a big fan of the extensive wire use. They make the movies less realistic. Its an...
OK another Brentwood 10-movie, 5-disc set. You know what to expect: no frills versions of movies, not great quality but it's cheap, right? At least with Tough Guys of Kung Fu, most of these...
These three movies are not really linked together but there are scenes overlapping while the stories are different. Julliette Binoche is fresh and interesting as always. The stories are interesting...
White was the best one. Each movie was filmed wonderfully (Artsy) but the plot lacked. I also think that these movies should have been PG-13 along with that movie Amelia. Why are they R? I know...
I just saw Blue, and only because I'm ill with flu could I stay in one place to watch it. I couldn't imagine a healthy person would waste their time watching the rest of the trilogy after sitting...
I got screwed badly. The quality of the picture is very bad. And film making strategy is very poor, who wanted to see all those photographers shooter?. Where the nakedness as advertise? I'm very...
This is my favorite movie of Cantinflas. i was little whern i saw this movie, and i can't help to watch it over and over again it was so funny and with a great and sad story. When i heard that the...
These Cantinflas movies were a gift for my father-in-law for Fathers Day. Although these movies often appear on late-night Spanish language television, I knew that he had expressed an interest in...
Unfortunately, Waterbearer didn't correct any of the problems that plagued their first set of Pasolini DVD's: the transfers are all sub-par, with burned-in subtitles (that are sometimes very wrong:...
Takashi Miike's rapidly expanding oeuvre includes something from nearly every genre (including a family picture and a musical?!). The Dead or Alive trilogy find him with his familiar Yakuza genre,...
I liked the first one alot. I liked the two stories that were going on in the movie. Don't be fooled by the title Dead or Alive though. I think of it more of a drama then an action flick.
I'm a Lancaster fan, and he was fine in this richly made production, but the story was not carried along rapidly enough to keep my attention, nor was the then new Italian starlette (whose name...
Alright, I'm Catholic. I'm Catholic and I'm tired of being misrepresented in, and outraged by, movies. I'm happy when I find a good movie which simply leaves out gratuitous sex and the EVER...
After the constraints of the US studio system, Renoir returns to France and more freedom. But this collection, while interesting for Renoir fans in showing his movement away from 'realism' and...
The DVD for "The Golden Coach" is for the most part fine, but the final minutes, which are crucial to the full impact of the film, are ruined by deplorable mastering. The scene appears to be out of...
Some good movies on here. 3 out of 10 to be exact, but a lot better than the other Videoasia 10-packs
SHAOLIN TEMPLE STRIKES BACK-The story is about former brothers played by Mark Long and Chang Shan. Mark Long became a crazy Shaolin monk with wicked pole skills. Chang Shan is a General when the...
This is a great box set with some super rare films included. Some are not Shaolin films with monks though is my only complaint. Invincible Iron Palm is a typical old school film that does...
I was excited when i picked this set up. but when i got home tears began to roll. the dvd transfers suck!!!!!!!!!!like a vcr to dvd burner bootleg quality. grainy and the subtitles dont even fit on...
If you liked the movie "South Central" you may like this one too
East L.A. King is basically the Latino version of another movie called "South Central". Where in "South Central" it had to do w/ Crips, "East L.A. King" doesn't say what gang the ppl in it are...
I really enjoyed the movie, and all of the actors. Boris Cabrera, besides being incredibly gorgeous, is a talented latino actor, and is able to bring the character Jose full circle. Life for...
Good movies for people who like viewing nudity, rape, torture, and bloody violence. My wife could not watch much of it, but Shintaro Katsu is our favorite as the blind swordsman.
For those of you expecting to see the beloved Shintaro Katsu as the anti-hero in these films, forget about it. Stick with the 'Zatoichi' episodes for great cinematic films. As for me, I really am...
What other reviewers have already said is true. Hanzo's method of interrogating female suspects is by raping them with his enormous member and then holding back until they confess. Yes, its sick,...
