Nov 10, 2001 Movies Shaolin Soccer by Stephen Chow (Review) Simply describing this film as a movie about a bunch of Shaolin monks playing soccer might be accurate enough, but it barely scratches the surface.
Nov 8, 2001 Movies Ghost World by Terry Zwigoff (Review) A wonderful, sensitive movie about the constraints of society on individualism and the requirements of compromise.
Nov 8, 2001 Movies Kung Fu Genius by Wilson Tong (Review) Yes, it’s silly and cheesy, but what else do you expect from a kung fu movie with the “duck” style?
Oct 3, 2001 Movies Supercop 2 by Stanley Tong (Review) A muddled, fairly uninvolving mess of a movie.
Oct 3, 2001 Movies The Hitman by Wei Tung (Review) I wouldn’t call this one a “must-see,” but if you have a chance to see it, and would like to see more of Jet Li, you certainly can’t go wrong.
Oct 3, 2001 Movies Armour of God by Jackie Chan, Eric Tsang (Review) Plenty of kung fu hijinks abound but Armour of God never makes up for all of the crap you have to sit through.
Oct 3, 2001 Anime Movies My Neighbor Totoro by Hayao Miyazaki (Review) I find it very easy to get caught up in Miyazaki’s films, mainly because his films often resemble how I remember seeing the world as a child.
Sep 1, 2001 Movies Rock ‘n’ Roll High School Forever by Deborah Brock (Review) This is definitely not a good movie but I still look back on it with fondness.
Aug 18, 2001 Movies High Risk by Wong Jing, Ah Lun (Review) At times you wonder how much of High Risk is poking fun at Jackie Chan and how much of it is savage satire.
Aug 4, 2001 Movies Tokyo Raiders by Jingle Ma (Review) This is cinematic frosting… all sweet and sugary, but ultimately fluff.
May 27, 2001 Movies Human Traffic by Justin Kerrigan (Review) A movie can’t get by on just flashy characters, a tacked on love story, and over-the-top dialog.
May 27, 2001 Movies Time Bandits by Terry Gilliam (Review) The movie soon becomes a delirious ride through all sorts of fantastic settings.
May 24, 2001 Movies That’s the Way I Like It by Glen Goei (Review) There are times when the movie gets a little mushy and melodramatic, but for the most part, it’s a blast to watch.
May 24, 2001 Movies Go by Doug Liman (Review) I just can’t get enough of movies with ensemble casts, wierd plots, and a sense of continuity that refused to go from Point A to Point B.
May 24, 2001 Movies Rushmore by Wes Anderson (Review) The humor is wonderfully low-key and dark, the dialog is witty, and the performances are incredible.
May 24, 2001 Movies Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels by Guy Ritchie (Review) Why can’t more movies like this be made?
May 24, 2001 Movies Three Colors: White by Krzysztof Kieślowski (Review) It almost feels oppressive and the movie’s attempts at humor aren’t enough to shirk that feeling.
May 24, 2001 Movies Drunken Master 2 by Jackie Chan, Lau Kar-Leung (Review) Jackie Chan’s finest moment?! It could very well be.
May 24, 2001 Movies Adrenaline Drive by Shinobu Yaguchi (Review) There’s something offbeat and charming about Adrenaline Drive that ultimately offsets any lack of originality.
Jun 24, 2000 Movies Fight Club by David Fincher (Review) One of the few movies in recent memory where I was forced to look at the concepts and ideas behind the dialog and images.
