Live Free or Die Hard (aka: Die Hard 4.0) — movie review

by Kris   ⋅   July 1, 2007   ⋅   Comments [3]

A funny thing happens in action movies. Drivers forget how to use their brakes, on-the-fly coding comes with its own instant GUI, and a 52-year-old bald dude that says “jerk off” an awful lot saves the country from terrorists for the fourth time. No action hero is as endearing and tangible as Bruce [...]

by Chris   ⋅   June 8, 2007   ⋅   Comments [2]

So this weekend is going to be a bit overly busy, so a full length film review is pretty much out of the question. In exchange, I offer these horse-capsule reviews. Note, for those of you repeatedly searching for Linda, Linda, Linda, I’ll have you covered in a week or so.

Chiseen — dvd review

Let me tell you about ABCs. No, not the alphabet, the acronym. It stands for “American Born Chinese” and Daniel Wu is one of the most famous ABC actors of the bunch. Like my brief idolatry of Kiefer Sutherland’s fearless punky vampire leader in Lost Boys, I had a thing for Daniel [...]

Mission Impossible III - See Tom bleed. See, wait no, now the blood is missing. See Tom bleed again. Oh, but oh no, gone again. In the first few cuts (no pun intended), it is evident that we either have an anal retentive director or Mr. Cruise is setting his acting [...]

MOVIE REVIEW . Dragon Squad

by Chris   ⋅   April 3, 2006   ⋅   Comments [3]

A mix of frenetic, ultra-violent shootouts and Wong Kar-Wei style musings, Daniel Lee (Black Mask, The Star Runner)’s Dragon Squad is a well intentioned, moderately entertaining throwback to early 90’s Hong Kong actioners. Story is secondary in this tale of Interpol agents versus international terrorists/mercenaries, and what narrative exists is fairly uninteresting. The good guys [...]

New Mission Impossible III Trailer

by Chris   ⋅   March 17, 2006   ⋅   Comments [2]

So another Mission Impossible 3 trailer is up. To be honest the film looks pretty bad. The dialogue is wince-inducingly terrible, and with J.J. Abrams at the helm I’m afraid it will be about as interesting as watching paint dry. And then there’s the pseudo-physics. I used to complain about people flying too much, but [...]
