WATCH NOW Although I’m not a fan of the movie per se, Enter the Game of Death, also called King of Kung Fu, is much better than a mediocre film that’s sure to please Bruce Lee/martial arts/action/Hong Kong cinema enthusiasts! (The sub-plot where Bruce is set to play a character in ‘Enter the Dragon’ film […]

WATCH NOW Admittedly, the statement might sound Luddite-ish in rubrics of HDTV, Blu-Ray, and Dolby 23:1 surround sound systems, but there is something about watching a movie where you can see the impact of time on each frame that is exceptionally refreshing. A movie that has not been remastered, double-dipped, or has received any significant

WATCH NOW Now that the multi-venue ImagineAsia festival has started and the Satyajit Ray retrospective has opened at London’s National Film Theatre, this week promises to have loads of South Asian movies and this film, by first feature director Asif Kapadia, is an excellent way to make use of the moment. The Warrior is the
WATCH NOW My objective of watching no horror movies during January is still going on, however the end is near. It has been excruciating to not watch even a single horror movie this month.

More often than not, we are left with rather mediocre productions after removing his charisma as well as his mind-blowing

WATCH NOW Trevor Simms, Larry Bishop, Adam Huss, Lewis Smith, Tom Sizemore, Jordan Monaghan It is the fever dream of indie filmmaker and entrepreneur Trevor Simms called adrenochrome (as a nod to the substance referenced in fear and loathing in las vegas) that has all the elements of a psyche. The movie’s director has been

WATCH NOW This is not at all in the spirit of Roger Corman’s creature features or the equally “so bad, they’re good” features from Asylum or SyFy. Contrary to the title Killer Bees, the film focuses far too much on the romance between the sheriff, his wife, and Riley the bee specialist, which really misses

WATCH NOW In the cinematic world, there is a little niche genre that focuses on a prisoner who, for some reason, seems to join a wildfire service and ends up having to fight the fire. Wildfire 7 puts this tale into a made for television script and, of course, adds a bit of extra juicy
