Product Description
Hot on the trail of a serial killer who uses acid on his victims leaving behind only the bones, the police turn to Hyun-min, a former forensic sculptor adept in reconstructing faces by examining and interpreting skulls. With the victims' bones in his house, Hyun-min's daughter experiences disturbing visions of a long-haired woman in a white robe, a woman whom she may know. As he races against time to find the answers before the visions overtake his daughter, the deadly truth behind these victims reveals a sinister conspiracy that threatens everyone involved.

Complicating matters is the repeatedly unstable condition of his sickly daughter -- who had undergone a very dangerous & difficult heart transplant surgery that required a very rare type of "organ donor match" in order for the surgical procedure to have even the slightest chances of success (a "MacGuffin" referred to in the movie as "Beta Alergic"). "Inspired," if you will, by a thread of ghostly apparitions and other related inexplicable sights & sensations, the specialist becomes convinced that the spirit connected to the latest skull in his possession will not rest quietly until it has been given its face back. During this process he gradually becomes convinced that his daughter had become the recipient of the heart of the skull/ghost in question and that the circumstances under which it was acquired may be highly (and frighteningly) suspect. Et cetera and so-forth.

So the real question becomes, Can I recommend this title for purchase? At it's currently listed price, I'd say no -- especially if you're so fed up with the "A-Horror" cliches of recent years that you'd feel insulted that a movie would make such deliberate use of them for no other purpose than simply to capitalize on that market. Should the price come down on it, however-- say, somewhere in the neighborhood of $14.95 & under --then I'd say go ahead and give it a look-see, it wouldn't hurt much of anything then, if you did.

The first of three theatrical features, Naruto Shippuden--the Movie (2007) provides a visually striking, action-packed introduction to the second series of adventures of ninja-in-training Naruto Uzumaki. Sinister ninja use black magic medical jutsu to raise the spirit of the long-imprisoned demon Moryo. If Moryo's body is also resurrected, he will establish a Thousand Year Kingdom that will mean the end of life on Earth as humans know it. Only Shion, the priestess of the Land of Ogres, can stop Moryo by keeping his body sealed within a hidden temple. A special squad from the Village Hidden in the Leaves--Neji, Sakura, Rock Lee, and Naruto--is assigned to protect Shion on her journey there.

Director Hajime Kamegaki uses CG to create a terracotta army copied from the celebrated figures from Emperor Qin Shi Huang's tomb in Xian. The scenes of marching clay automatons, impervious to ordinary weapons, pack a real punch, although they don't always blend with the drawn characters. Kamegaki balances these dire threats with plenty of physical comedy: Naruto boasts and blunders and stumbles; Rock Lee defeats his foe after eating a liquor-filled chocolate, re-creating his version of Jackie Chan's "drunken fist" technique in the "Chase for Sasuke" story arc.

For Naruto fans, the movie is a must-have. (Rated Teen+ Older Teen, but suitable for ages 12 and older: violence, grotesque imagery, brief nudity, alcohol use) --Charles Solomon

Everyone thought that Ozunu Clan, a clan assassins who will not hesitate to kill a life, is a myth that living in the community for hundreds of years. But myth is something tangible for Raizo (Rain) as Raizo is part of Ozunu Clan. Raizo is one of this clan killing machine. Raizo has become part of this clan since he was a child. Raizo kidnapped this group and for many years trained to be an effective killing machine. One mistake is to kill Ozunu good friend and Raizo this tragic event makes Raizo a large group of enemies who never knew this existed. Raizo vowed to avenge his friend and fled from Ozunu Clan.

At the same time, a Europol agent named Mika Coretti (Naomie Harris) believes that there is a syndicate assassins from the Far East related to a series of murders of political officials in many countries. Ryan did not heed the commands of Maslow (Ben Miles), his boss, Mika continued investigation. Clan Ozunu who know that their existence Mika suspect then ordered Takeshi (Rick Yune) to eliminate this agency Europol. If without the help Raizo, Mika could have died at the hands of Takeshi. Had no other choice, now Mika can only rely on the help of gang Raizo to roll this dangerous killer.

Long enough nor is there an action movie that tells about ninjas. Ninja movie itself popular in the 1980s and then a lot of films have tried to uncover the mystery cults that never existed in Japan. Create a ninja who had idolized this film probably could be a refresher for your thirst while NINJA Assassin mention this as a spectacular film still seems not quite right. There are some weaknesses of this film and it seems to be a trademark for most of the movie countrymen. The first plot is less well-organized so that there was leakage of logic here and there. Too many coincidences that disrupt the elements of this logic was quite annoying because ultimately this film is like soap opera that just happens to be embracing the concept of the key to everything.

The decision to use as the main actor Rain seemed too trends based on the appearance of using Asian stars who later grew rampant. To be honest it was not much help because in addition had no acting background is sufficient, Rain also appear to be experiencing difficulties in terms of language. As a result only one secret weapon that can still be used as a film director James McTeigue is action action and visual treat. Although really only using CGI techniques, but the fight scenes are bloody does look pretty good. Clear the martial arts film fans will be satisfied. For a film that reportedly cost only about U.S. $ 50 million, NINJA Assassin can certainly say that a good visual treat. Karl Walter Lindenlaub as cameraman seemed to understand was how to present a good visual treat with the cost not too high.

The Warrior & The Wolf

In the days before the unification of China have dispatched thousands of soldiers to conquer the areas that still have not staging. Adventure into this new area sometimes do not always bring good results. In the case of Lu Chenkang (Joe Odagiri), he had to deal with the tribe of Harran who did have a unique ability. Lu Chenkang was a brave soldier. Unlike the other soldiers began to lose his humanity on the battlefield, Lu just did not enjoy killing the art of this. He is very skilled on the battlefield but he always tried to suppress the animal instinct in him as much as Rata Penuhpossible. But all that soon changed when General Zhang Anliang (Tou Chung-hua), Lu leader was badly wounded.

General Zhang Anliang badly injured just before the winter comes and Lu was forced to take over temporary leadership. When Lu took his troops into a tribal-inhabited village of Harran, Lu met a woman who could bring Lu to places never imagined before. According to the tribe of Harran, in ancient times, humans actually originated from wolves, and until now still has a special relationship with this animal.

One that distinguishes the Asian films including Mandarin films storyline is the placement in the third position after the impression and conveyed a moral message movie. Benefits achieved from this technique is that the film has a touch of very strong emotional but at the same time there are losses that arise. Because the same techniques and logic in the film itself was not formed.

The Warrior AND THE WOLF is adapted from a story by Yasushi Inoue's director Tian Zhuangzhuang which also serves as a screenwriter of this film. The result is a combination of fighting in a war with the relationship 'unique' between Lu with a mysterious woman played by Maggie Q. The plot itself was very confusing because there was an odd relationship to highlight two different people.

Ong-Bak - The Thai Warrior

Posted by admin | 6:17 PM | | 0 comments »


No computer graphic can ever surpass what a real human body can do--and what the body can do is on spectacular display in Ong-Bak, a Thai action movie starring the lithe and flexible Tony Jaa. When the head is stolen from a holy statue in Jaa's rural village, he goes to Bangkok to get it back. Of course, it just so happens that the thief is connected to a bar where criminal big shots gamble over bare-knuckle brawls, and Jaa is--despite his virtuous efforts--drawn into the game. But that's only the beginning; a chase through the city streets rivals the ingenious acrobatics of Jackie Chan, with Jaa leaping between panes of glass, over a bicycle in motion, and through a wreath of barbed wire.

Jaa's fighting prowess has been compared to Bruce Lee, Jet Li, and just about every other martial arts master, but he has an equal degree of charisma as well. He won't win acting awards, but his engaging presence carries the movie. One word of warning: The numerous fights will make you wince as much as gape in astonishment. Ong-Bak follows the action-flick tradition that the hero needs to be as battered as possible before he ultimately triumphs, and the battering is intense. --Bret Fetzer

Product Description
When the head of his village's sacred Buddha statue is stolen, simple country boy Ting (Tony Jaa) is sent to Bangkok to retrieve it. Raised by a monk who has trained him in Muay Thai, Ting has vowed to never use his lethal martial arts skills. But once he arrives in the big city, Ting is forced to fight. It's non-stop action as Ting infiltrates Bangkok's seedy underworld and takes on a series of lowlifes and criminals in his quest to obtain the sacred head.

Legend of the Black Scorpion

Actors: Ma Jingwu, Ge You, Daniel Wu, Zhou Xun, Zhang Ziyi
Directors: Feng Xiaogang
Format: Color, Dubbed, Subtitled, Widescreen, NTSC
Language: English, Mandarin Chinese

Amazon.com

Tackling William Shakespeare's Hamlet, director Xiaogang Feng presents a unique take on the bard's famous play with the action drama Legend of the Black Scorpion, which is beautifully filmed and well acted. Ziyi Zhang stars as Empress Wan, a conniving woman whose beauty is equaled by her taste for power. She lustfully longs for her stepson Wu Lan (Daniel Wu). But when the Emperor dies, it is Wu Lan's younger brother who ascends to the throne, setting off a chain of events that are tragic. Though the story is familiar, the presentation is anything but; just as Hamlet captivated readers with its tale of lust, greed, and betrayal, Legend of the Black Scorpion draws viewers in with a story that is both fascinating and repulsive, but shot so beautifully that the eyes are drawn to the screen. Legendary fight choreographer Woo-ping Yuen (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, the Matrix trilogy) orchestrates some beautifully fierce aerial battles that while no longer novel are still thrilling to watch. We are used to seeing Zhang in the wide-eyed ingénue roles. As the cold-hearted matriarch, she more than proves her abilities as an actress who is ready to move onto meatier roles that aren't driven by her beauty. --Jae-Ha Kim

Product Description
(Action) A cross between Shakespeare’s Hamlet and Tarantino’s Kill Bill, scheming royals and other officials attempt to consolidate power in a empire in chaos. Packed with deadly plots, sweeping camerawork, and elaborate fight choreography.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews
Amazingly beautiful Zhang Ziyi struggles to carry the film. As good and beautiful the actress is, even Zhang cannot carry a film all by herself. Her portrayal of Empress Wan is actually the film's center; Zhang's character is in the middle of deception, lust and eventual betrayal. Thankfully, Zhang has the charisma to pull off an underdeveloped character such as Empress Wan. However, Zhang feels a bit unseasoned and too young (perhaps) for the role of the empress. Don't get me wrong, I think Zhang Ziyi is an awesome actress, but the role feels tailor-made for Chinese veteran actress Gong Li. Daniel Wu plays Wu Luan; a brooding, quiet and never shows his emotions in calculating vengeance. Wu plays an acceptable performance, after all, he does play "Hamlet" which was meant as a person with minor momentum, instead of displaying raw anger he imposes his wrath through indirect means. I guess it was a good move for the screenplay to emphasize Empress Wan's character than Wu Luan himself, I doubt Daniel Wu will be able to carry the film at all.

The performances are good for the most part. It's just that the characters seemed a bit underdeveloped that the lead characters will have some difficulty connecting with its audience. The film does take off strongly but it couldn't stay aloft. Supporting actress Zhao Xun (Ming Ming) has huge talent but her character of Quing is too simple and a bit one-dimensional. Ge You comes out with an outstanding performance as Emperor Li; his powerful portrayal is truly superb and note-worthy. Ultimately, while this film is loosely based on "Hamlet", the climax does occur in a banquet and this is a Chinese film where the old adage applies: No evil deed will go unpunished and repaid.

The Warlords

Actors: Andy Lau, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Jet Li
Directors: Peer Chen
Format: DVD Region, NTSC, Widescreen, Subtitled
Region: All Regions
Number of discs: 1

Product Description
Winner of the 27th Annual HK film Award for Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor (8 awards total). It's a heroic tale of three blood brothers and their struggle in the midst of war and political upheaval. It is based on "The Assassination Of Ma", a Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) story about the killing of General Ma XinYi. The story was filmed by Zhang Che in 1973 as "The Blood Brothers".

Most Helpful Customer Reviews

The Taiping Rebellion has plunged the country in chaos. General Quing-yun Pang (Jet Li) is the lone survivor of a massive battle between the Christian Taiping and the Qing dynasty under command. That evening, he finds comfort in the arms of comely Lian (Xu Jinglei) but she disappears the following day. Pang encounters a group of bandits led by Er-hu Zhao (Andy Lau) and Jiang (Kaneshiro) who are having difficulty in survival. As fate would have it, the three takes a blood oath to join the Qing army to quell the rebellion.


The Taiping rebellion is among the bloodiest civil war ever recorded in history. The body count rivals the ones during World War II. The Taiping rebellion has a lot to do with religion and cultural ideology, and those powerful issues have been downplayed in favor of the theme of brotherhood, love and war. The film fails to take advantage of its historical context. Quite disappointing really, apparently, the producers presume that the usual theme of brotherhood and loyalty are more universal and more appealing to international audiences. I looked up the details of the Taiping rebellion, and I have to say, even though "The Warlords" is in no means a bad film, it's full potential hasn't been achieved. Rather, the rebellion is only used as a backdrop and not really the film's main premise.

As for the battle scenes, it may well be the bloodiest I've seen so far in Hong Kong cinema. Limbs are severed and there are a few gruesome beheadings. The sequences still have the martial arts influence, but no hints of wires are shown. U.S. audiences may need hints of Chinese history to be able to fully grasp the proceedings, there's a lot of commentary to China's tumultuous past and there is some effective human drama in the brothers' contrasting ideas regarding war and righteousness. Pang is a realist while Er-hu is an idealist, I'm pretty certain you have an idea how two opposing ideologies cannot coexist. Sadly, the missing cultural impact of the war minimizes the film's depth, making the horrors of war less involving.

Erika was a celebrated television news personality before she decided to return to her small hometown and campaign for a seat in the national party, and Yohei was just a meager fisherman who had not yet become one with the sea.

As primal instincts kick in, this unlikely pair finds that they never really knew themselves until everything they knew was suddenly stripped away

This movie follows the development of one girl from fashion victim to futsal champion, learning along the way about what is important in life and love. College trendsetter Putri is determined to win back her sports-mad ex-boyfriend by turning into a futsal heroine herself. Facing prejudice and ridicule, and discovering, through her motley futsal team, the many difficulties faced by women in sports, Putri gradually finds within herself the strength and values of a true winner, on and off the pitch.

Gol &Gincu is a wonderful entry into Malaysian culture. Partly a film about "girl-power" - a group of young women form a "futsal" team and is reminiscent of and inevitably compared to movies like `Bend it Like Becham.' Set in urban Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia the movie centers on Putri as she changes over time from prissy fashion princess to futsal champion. In the process of this transformation Putri learns about self worth, the ever-changing meaning of love, and life's important values like loyalty and perseverance. What began as a quest to win back her soccer-crazy ex-boyfriend by coming into his world - the lessons learned transcend the arguably juvenile goal - no pun intended. Bravely overcoming prejudice and ridicule, and slowly but surely learning to appreciate the diversity of and in women'Blogger: Asian Movie Store - Buat Entris sport Putri begins to find her place in the milieu. It is interesting from a media and sociological perspective that the movie has spun off into a TV series. It is light, it is accessible but it is also a very profound look into a country with a limited international output.

The plotline may sound familiar: Two mismatched cops are assigned as reluctant partners to solve a crime. Culturally they are complete opposites, and they quickly realize they can't stand each other. One (Jackie Chan) believes in doing things by the book. He is a man with integrity and nerves of steel. The other (Chris Tucker) is an amiable rebel who can't stand authority figures. He's a man who has to do everything on his own, much to the displeasure of his superior officer, who in turn thinks this cop is a loose cannon but tolerates him because he gets the job done.

Directed by Brett Ratner, Rush Hour doesn't break any new ground in terms of story, stunts, or direction. It rehashes just about every "buddy" movie ever made--in fact, it makes films such as Tango and Cash seem utterly original and clever by comparison. So, why did this uninspired movie make over $120 million at the box office? Was the whole world suffering from temporary insanity? Hardly. The explanation for the success of Rush Hour is quite simple: chemistry. The casting of veteran action maestro Jackie Chan with the charming and often hilarious Chris Tucker was a serendipitous stroke of genius.

Fans of Jackie Chan may be slightly disappointed by the lack of action set pieces that emphasize his kung-fu craft. On the other hand, those who know the history of this seasoned Hong Kong actor will be able to appreciate that Rush Hour was the mainstream breakthrough that Chan had deserved for years. Coupled with the charismatic scene-stealer Tucker, Chan gets to flex his comic muscles to great effect. From their first scenes together to the trademark Chan outtakes during the end credits, their ability to play off of one another is a joy to behold, and this mischievous interaction is what saves the film from slipping into the depths of pitiful mediocrity. --Jeremy Storey

Customer Reviews

My expectations were quite high for this one, as I had heard from several people that it is definetly a great martial arts action film. I also see a lot of comparisons to the previously released "SPL aka Kill Zone" and rightfully so, since Flashpoint has both the same director (Wilson Yip) and the same action star (Donnie Yen). Though I find Flashpoint not quite up to par overall with SPL, that's still saying quite a bit, since SPL seems to be the film to beat these days. But what Flashpoint may lack in overall tone, it more than makes up for with breathtakingly superb fight action, Donnie Yen style.

Now when I say Donnie Yen style, it's cool and it's MMA (mixed martial arts). Well, at least he's always trying to act cool (as many reviewers will point out about Yen) and I guess it works, but its never necessary. Yen is so skillfull with his choreogrpahy and skill that that's plenty cool enough for me. Flashpoint is praised for its incredible fight action, but it will have to wait about an hour into the film for it to begin, When it does, it is intense and never lets up. The final 30 minutes of the film is the huge climax.

Tensions and emoitons are at the highest (I want to say almost comparable to SPL at this point, and ironically the stories are somewhat similar as far as Yen's character is concerned). The tension can be felt in the fights, as the past hour of the film all comes together in what is to be a spectacular finish. There is a decent shootout that occurs throughout fields of grass before we see the big one on one between Donnie Yen and our main villain - Collin Chou (Matrix Sequals, Forbidden Kingdom). The fight lasts 8 minutes and is almost unlike anything I have seen. Even Yen and Chou stated that this fight was the most difficult and accomplished of their careers thus far. It is fast, furious, and complete with a few slow motion kicks and punches that all felt perfectly placed - you can almost feel the raw power behind a Donnie Yen knockout.

As good as the climax of Flashpoint may be, its the first hour that keeps it from being a perfect film. Though the story is interesting and worth watching to feel the true impact of the exciting conclusion, its still a slow ride that has almost no action to keep things moving. The characters, plot, script etc also don't have quite the effect of that in SPL, and the villain Collin Chou was basically an average villain without any unique qualities (until the last 30 minutes of the film!)

Despite the slow hour of the film, I can't stress enough how much it is still worth it when that last 30 minutes comes around. I'm not sure we'll see a fight quite like that again anytime soon. It is definelty worth buying this dvd and you will want to watch it several times as I already have. 4.5 Overall for exceptional martial arts action.

Official US release of the Hong Kong cult classic! All Region, 16:9 Anamorphic Widescreen, NTSC Format, Newly Remastered English Subtitles, Cantonese Language, Completely Uncut, Trailers, About the Actors. A man is discovered dead after he was given an aphrodisiac so strong that it causes his penis to explode! His wife Little Cabbage and her lover are dragged before a judge, both protesting their innocence, and charged with adultery and conspiring to kill. In court, they must tell their story of how they became lovers. Little do they know that the real killers are the judge's son and his lover. In order to keep his son free, the judge tries to frame Little Cabbage into a false confession.

Chinese Torture Chamber is a bizarre fantasy mixed with hilarious comedy, sex, and absurd torture. It features the classic sequence where the scholar goes on a journey through the forest, only to run into a man and his extremely horny wife who engage in a long bout of flying sex, complete with appropriately named martial arts moves such as invincible tongue and wonder screw . This scene is packed with wirework, slow motion shots, several gallons of ejaculate, and of course Elvis Tsui, who has the market pretty much

covered in this kind of role. Also starring Yvonne Yung and directed by Bosco Lam. Chinese Torture was produced by Wong Jing the mastermind behind Ebola Syndrome and The Untold Story. This film covers everything from Chinese martial arts movies to even a parody of the American film Ghost!

Customer Reviews

The nature of exploitation films is to make people believe that they're seeing something serious, but in actuality it's gross exaggerations and stereotypical characters mixed into a plot that can seamlessly show brutality, sex, fetishism, superpowers and kung-fu because they're all "integral" to the storyline. They turn out (mostly years after their initial release) to be dated pieces of celluloid tripe that draw cult followings... look at "Blackula" or "Cleopatra Jones" if you need an example of how this is done in America with moniority populations.

"Chinese Torture Chamber Story" is no exception. One has only to look at this title to know that. C'mon, like the word "torture" *isn't* inflammatory. Please...

Now for the confusing part: I like this film. I am one of those people who has seen this film and enjoyed it immensely. I'm sure if anyone knows anything about this film it's the famous in-flight coitus scene that can be found on the 'net for download. There are money shots that would kill people and a fabulous parody of "Ghost".

In summary, I believe that many people will find this DVD offensive. Others will find it hysterical. Still others will find it at a friend's house, borrow it and never give it back. You decide which one you are for yourself.

Customer Reviews

After being chased by gangsters, four Chinese tourists in Thailand take refuge with a Thai voodoo master. They have a good relationship with the voodoo master at first; however, things change after the voodoo master's sister falls in love with one of the four: Pon, who is engaged to a woman back in Hong Kong. She asks her brother for a love potion to give Pon, but the other three drink the potion by mistake. The love potion makes them go crazy with lust, and they gang rape her. The voodoo master then follows the four back to Hong Kong where he targets them, one by one, for gruesome death.
After the three rapists are down, the last of the group, Pon, gets help from his fiancee's Thai witch friend. The Thai witch vows to defend Pon, and, of course, we end up with a battle between the Thai witch and voodoo master.
The film is highly entertaining and certainly not boring. I would recommend it to anyone who thinks my description above sounds interesting.
