MOVIE REVIEW . Stereo Future

If there’s one thing Hiroyuki Nakano has demonstrated over the course of his five films, it is an absolute love for life in all its forms. His keen visual style, vibrant use of color (and high contrast black and white), carefully chosen music, and unguarded enthusiasm infuse his films with an undeniable fun and pep [...]

MOVIE REVIEWS [Capsules] . Vibrator, G@ME, Rampo Jigoku

Vibrator
I do my best to see good in films these days. I think I’ve come a long way from my cranky green critic self. But Vibrator has brought out the cranky in me. It is an absolutely terrible film. Plodding, shallow, and self important, it is an absolute chore to sit through.
Lauded as “Japan’s Answer [...]

MOVIE REVIEW . Always - Sunset on Third Street

Okay, I’ll admit it. I initially picked up Always - Sunset on Third Street (aka: Always san-chôme no yûhi) because of star Koyuki (Kairo, Last Samurai, Antique Cake Store). Usually when I pick up a film due to its featuring an attractive star I’m endlessly disappointed, but much to my delight, I found Always provided [...]

MOVIE REVIEWS . Inside Man, Just My Luck

I Heart New York.. here’s a couple of recent films I watched just because they were filmed in the Big Apple.
Inside Man - The first fifteen minutes of any movie is the clincher, and Inside Man is no exception. Clive Owen’s droning stoic baritone, upbeat India-inspired dance-y multi-keyed background tunes, rolling scenes of [...]

MOVIE REVIEW . Love Letter

Being in a love flourished from passion and trust is the most exhilarating emotion, but if you realized that your betrothed was really in love with someone else –someone who could pass for your twin– could you forgive him? What if the opposite were true – you realized that you were in love with someone [...]

With that in mind, here are some films with romance that Kris and Chris approve of.

Splendor
He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not
Closer
40 Days and 40 [...]

Underworld dvd movie review

VAMPIRES AND WEREWOLVES? COOL!! ..OR MAYBE NOT I remember being stoked about this film when I first saw the trailer attached to Wrong Turn. I mean, come on! Vampires fighting Werewolves! How much better could it get? As long as they didn’t churn out something as godawful as Howling VI (the other vampires against werewolves [...]

Dopamine movie review

GIVE INDIE A CHANCE Ah, the brutality and courageous side of LOVE. Love is what we, as social creatures aspire towards, in an indifferent sea of billions and billions of souls. But if you stripped away all of the magic, you’d be left with mere equations of evolutionary evidence. Some argue that Love is only [...]

Intolerable Cruelty he-said-she-said movie review screener!

HE SAID: Ah, this review has been in the cooker for 3 days now. It’s always harder to review a film you’re sort of indifferent to. I’ll tell you straight out that Intolerable Cruelty is a funny film, though not as frenetic and quirky as O Brother Where Art Thou, Raising Arizona, or Barton [...]
