| 63 31% | I Come with the Rain (2008) - Rated 11 Dec 2024
"Nice soundtrack but extremely pretentious and at times laughable plot and direction with not much to say."
|
| 86 93% | Cowboy Bebop (1998) - Rated 02 Dec 2024 |
| 69 40% | Magic Cop (1990) - Rated 26 Nov 2024
"If you come for the crazy stuff (remote corpse fights!) , be prepared to only get about a third time of the runtime, if you come for the fish out of water comedy, we’ll probably never understand each other. Modern subtitles in proper English did this one dirty."

| 68 39% | Sisters (2015) - Rated 23 Nov 2024
"Somewhere between 40 and 60% of the jokes actually land, but seeing as there’s about three per minute (and about one person from SNL showing up every 4 minutes) one will have laughed several times by the end of this, several lulls notwithstanding."

| 35 9% | Time Cut (2024) - Rated 14 Nov 2024
"Laughably bag in energy conceivable way, terrible script, lousy acting and shot like daytime TV from the early 90s."
|
| 84 90% | The Venture Bros.: Radiant Is the Blood of the Baboon Heart (2023) - Rated 11 Nov 2024
"There might be an argument that this was just an extended episode, but that would be mere foolishness as more Venture Brothers is by the sheer power of mathematics superior to no more Venture Brothers, and if the sweet release of another season after several years of longing is just not an option, one should be grateful for this beautiful piece of strangeness going as it came, perfect in it's own way."

| 81 83% | Life Without Principle (2011) - Rated 10 Nov 2024
"Seeing as To's movie often involve torture and murder, it's quite remarkable that this one, about the financial crisis of 2008 and it's effects (only the whats, not the whys) on three characters and their interwoven narratives is easily the one to make me the most uncomfortable and tense (the banker luring an elderly into high risk funds being an early stress test) as To really milks the spreading despair, fitting in moments of humor without ever really going full blown satire."
|
| 79 77% | PTU: Police Tactical Unit (2003) - Rated 07 Nov 2024
"A big problem with the reception of To's work is that because he's a HK director and most of his movies released in the West (tons of romantic comedies you'll never see) involve guns people expect action when he's really doing Noir, seldom more clearly than in this potboiler without a single sympathetic character (well, maybe the orderly). Dark (literally, the entire movie takes place in one night), slowly ramping up the tension and without redemption for anyone."
|
| 64 32% | Color Out of Space (2020) - Rated 03 Nov 2024
"Deeply frustrating as elements for a much better movie are in obvious sight but the writing decides to leave every character with exactly one trait and fails to establish proper rules for the supernatural elements, letting the entire thing down."
|
| 74 56% | Sisu (2023) - Rated 16 Oct 2024
"In these trying times, fan-fiction about Simo Häyhä killing tons of Nazis graphically may be all the story we need."
