Haven't seen (or heard of) any of those, but I'll certainly make an effort to see The World of Us, Survive Style 5+, Asura: The City of Madness, and Proof of Innocence. Those look like they could be right up my alley.

This Charming Girl was one of those "watching paint dry" movies for me. As I recall, there were only two scenes that held any kind of interest for me whatsoever. However, I've since seen others praise it, and I do have the DVD sitting on my shelf. It's one I've been meaning to revisit to see...

A few comments / musings... 1) I've never heard of most of these films, so they must have been really bad. 2) As a counter to point (1), I must have seen 10 trailers for Mortdecai last year or whenever. Every trailer I saw, I was aghast at how awful it looked. And the trailer usually...

It's not a "nazi cartoon." It's an ANTI-nazi propaganda cartoon.

The DVD: The DVD is from the mainland China distributor Zoke Culture, and leaves a lot to be desired. First off, this is a PAL-coded DVD (since when is mainland China a PAL country?), but nowhere on the DVD slipcover or case (that I could find) is PAL indicated. The movie is presented in...

For Monday's review, I'm offering up the mainland China movie Jasmine Women (2004). I know, I know. It's a long review for a movie that I didn't exactly love. It's basically 3 movies in 1, so perhaps I can be forgiven my verbosity. And the film does have merit, which I hope you can suss out...

Yep! That's him. I liked the way they played that--very understated. They ended up together. But no big production; no wedding scene, etc. Just the seeming inevitability of a small village crush blossoming into romance and a life together. I find that very sweet. To me, that was the...

Update from my recent order: I watched all but two of these in the past week or so (the exceptions being Alice in Earnestland and Hide and Seek) and am very pleased with my batting average. I've really enjoyed or loved all five movies. (Specific comments are in the April "recently seen"...

Sounds like something I would like, as long as it's compelling and not "Lifetime movie of the week." I'll add this to my next YesAsia order. I can get a HK cheapie for $8. Thanks for the recommendation.

Watch the last scene again, as well as the end credits.

Watched Coin Locker Girl (2015) last night. Pretty good movie. Not super-great, but I liked it for sure. The story of Il-young was interesting. Not too many surprises--I could pretty much tell you what the next scene would be (who gets threatened; who gets whacked; who gets away, etc.). But...

Why don't you give a review? Or mini-review? What did you like about it? What makes it a "gem"? The video is just some random scenes set to piano music with no dialog or context. I'm always looking for new DVDs to order--tell me why this should be next on my list.

Sorry that this one did not click for you. True, nothing really major happens, but I found it sweet and engaging. I wonder what your take is for a film I liked (well, loved, actually) for similar reasons--The Harmonium in My Memory?

Moving through my recent DVD order...watched Watcha Wearin'? last night. Cute sexy romance. Movies like this, if they only use the characters as an excuse to show some flesh or talk dirty, usually get a 2 or perhaps 2.5 star rating from me. Usually the plot tends to be lame and the characters...

Watched Sunny (2011) last night... ...and what an amazing movie. I knew it "looked cute" but was not prepared for how much I loved this. The funny parts were hilarious; the sentimental parts were handled well; the dramatic moments were spot on; and the balance of the story of the girls and...

Looks like "Love in the Butt" to me, LOL. That's an entirely different kind of movie!

I never seen so much wool. You could knit a sweater!

I loved the book. Written by Stephen King. Haven't seen the movie, but I'm guessing it wasn't as good as the book. King has such a way with characters.
