Genre: Drama
I&#8217;ve been sitting on this review for quite some time now, but I guess it&#8217;s time to get it out the door.      Having not been able to come up with a suitable introduction, I&#8217;m just going to jump right in.
Yasujiro Ozu&#8217;s final film has been almost universally hailed by critics as a masterpiece, but to be completely honest, I&#8217;m a little puzzled by their unanimous acclaim. I&#8217;m not as familiar with Ozu&#8217;s body ...]]></description>

When Chris and I first saw Happiness of the Katakuris several years ago, we weren&#8217;t exactly impressed.  Sometimes it just takes a second round.  Lately I find it delightfully campy like the Rocky Horror Picture Show with its random wacky balls-out awkwardly endearing song and dance numbers (even enka karaoke), or harkening Beetlejuice when it employs grim prosthetics and surreal stop-animation, or even Sound of Music on acid.  Anything now, it seems, is amazingly tame ...]]></description>

For those of you who think that George W. Bush is the first president to willfully attack a foreign country to rake in the spoils under the guise of protecting America, be aware that there were many before him&#8230; they were just sneakier.
In 1970, Salvador Allende was the first Socialist to be democratically elected; the 29th president of Chile.  Not only was he a Socialist, but also a Marxist, with strong liberal opinions and radical revisions steered towards an ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s always sad when a film you&#8217;ve waited to watch disappoints. It&#8217;s even worse when it bombs. Udon has been in our queue for near three months now, and now that we&#8217;ve finally seen it, we have another entry on our list of the worst films we&#8217;ve seen this year.
The basic story of Udon concerns a young man, Kosuke Matsui (Yusuke Santamaria ,Bayside Shakedown), who returns home to his native prefecture following a failed attempt at comedic stardom in the USA. Something of a dreamer, Kosuke always found his family&#8217;s ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Given my reaction to Sion Sono’s Suicide Circle (you can read the rather embarrassing review here), one might be surprised I went out of my way to view another film by him.  To be honest, I’m not the type to dismiss a director for a single bad run.  And you know what? I’m pretty glad I did. Writer and Director Sion Sono’s modern tale of the Erotic-Grotesque, is at once repulsive and fascinating, and shows a near exponential evolution in his skill as a film craftsman. However, viewer ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Michael Kang&#8217;s The Motel, an adaptation of Ed Lin&#8217;s Waylaid, is a painfully funny take on adolescence and the inherent isolation felt by those undergoing puberty. It is the tale of a thirteen year-old boy, Ernest Chin, whose family runs and lives in a low rate motel along a New Jersey bypass road. Being that the motel offers &#8220;weekly, daily, and hourly rates&#8221;, Ernest sees more than his fair share of questionable human interactions. His overbearing mother chides him incessantly, his grandfather calls him fat, his younger sister has a ...]]></description>

HE SAID
The first Yimou’s first film featuring Gong Li since their Shanghai Triad fallout, The Curse of the Golden Flower should be something of a cause for celebration. But, the former artisans have ventured a long way from their arthouse roots, wined and dined by American dollars, the two have turned their focus toward money making event films rather than maintaining the artistic integrity they so ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wes Craven’s The Hills Have Eyes (review) is one of my favorite horror films. Maybe because Kris and I are avid road trippers, or maybe because I saw it at an impressionable age, Craven’s film has found a permanent home in my collection. The tale of a non-violent family pushed to acts of savage violence in the wake of relentless attack by desert cannibals may seem comically absurd, but in execution proves raw and affecting long after the final frame. As with many of the horror remakes of late I ...]]></description>

What if the opposite were true – you realized that you were in love with someone who, by your own fault, would only remain an unrequited ghost? Could you learn to forgive yourself?
