Marathon Korean Movie Review 2005

Marathon is one of those films that appear by chance on your “To Watch” lists, and you start them without much expectations. Actors aren’t the most popular (or recognized), and you really don’t know what to expect from the story. Despite all this, I have to say that it’s not a feature film that goes…

The Eye Hong Kong Movie Review 2002

I’ve been a fan of Asian horror movies for quite a while. And looking for something to watch I found The Eye (Gin Gwai). This film is a little old already, it aired 17 years ago, but although in this last decade a lot of horror movies came out, until now, not many of them…

Warriors of the Dawn (2017) – Korean Movie Review

I decided to start watching war movies, so that brought me to Warriors of the Dawn. A movie that was released in 2017 with a great cast and an interesting plot, at least in the beginning. Coming from epic movies such as The Last Supper or Roaring Currents, this one might feel a little poor.…

The Tower is a movie that…

Howling Korean Movie Review 2012

Movies with animals take me to hard places. In this movie, the whole script is a little mysterious in this subject, but I tend to escape them. Now I can tell you that Howling has to be seen. There are scenes that will make you jump from your seat. And others that will leave you…

The Last Supper Chinese Movie Review 2012

If I’m being honest, I have seen so little of Chinese cinema. And my knowledge about their history is so vague, that I probably ended up missing several parts of it. On the other hand, The Last Supper is just perfect. One of Lu Chuan’s masterpieces. I wouldn’t enjoy you to miss this fantastic production…
