Reviews of films
I arrived at this week’s pick in a very roundabout way. I wanted to give this review some European flavor. Something outside the Asian action movie sphere this feature has predominantly featured. From time to time, I’m in the mood … Continue reading Made Overseas: Beauty and the Beast (2014)
Welcome to my weekly discussion of the animated films of the Walt Disney Studio. I’m proceeding mostly chronologically.

Today, I bring you a very special TCM Underground write-up.

It’s the nineteenth film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (not counting all the TV shows, short films, and web series) which a … Continue reading Movie Reviews: Avengers: Infinity War (2018)
Most of you have probably seen Kung Fu Hustle. Multiple times, even. The Stephen Chow movie was released in Hong Kong in 2004, but made a splash in the US in 2005. Roger Ebert once described this movie “like Jackie … Continue reading Made Overseas: Kung Fu Hustle (2004)
When you see that a movie is a Golan-Globus Production in its opening credits, you have no idea what you’re in for. The people behind the Cannon Group were certainly… ambitious. They had a few winners, they had a few … Continue reading TCM Underground: Hercules (1983)

It was 2012 and Psy’s “Gangnam Style” became the surprise viral hit of the summer. I got barraged with this Gangnam Style video and people talking about it. It seemed at the time that that video and the dance from … Continue reading WTF ASIA 1: Funky Forest – First Contact (2005)
Perhaps it doesn’t mean much since it’s only April, but I see a fair amount of movies and You Were Never Really Here is my favorite movie I’ve seen in 2018 so far. It’s hard to really describe the plot, … Continue reading Movie Review: You Were Never Really Here
League of Gods wasn’t really that big of a blockbuster in 2016 (i.e. the year of The Mermaid.) The movie made $43 million… which wasn’t bad. According to Box Office Mojo, that’s less than The Legend of Tarzan, but more … Continue reading Made Overseas: League of Gods (2016)

My last review was for a film may have been burdened with the expectations of its acclaimed director but it did have an easy in for discussing their prior work since Isle of Dogs is very recognizably a Wes Anderson joint. … Continue reading Movie Reviews: A Quiet Place (2018)
First off: apologies to everyone for skipping this last week. Easter might actually be a more stressful weekend than Christmas. You still have a big meal, you still have friends and family over, you still have a party that lasts … Continue reading Made Overseas: Dhoom 3 (2013)
