Honey & Clover

1001
Honey & Clover review

"Honey And Clover is a nice, solid genre entry that sinks you comfortable to the back of the couch, letting a feeling of warmth and melancholy slip over you."

Love on Sunday

1002
Love on Sunday review

"Love on Sunday is an endearing film with a warm, summery vibe, strong performances and effective drama without any false sentiment."

The Detective 2

1003
The Detective 2 review

"The Detective 2 is a very solid sequel, somewhat different in tone and execution as the first film, but that's not really a bad thing."

Wolf Children

1004
Wolf Children review

"When Hosoda keeps it small and strays away from dramatic arcs the film is at its best, but Hosoda often overplays the drama and ends up with scenes that are far too mushy and melodramatic."

St. John's Wort

1005
St. John's Wort review

"It is far from a perfect film, maybe not a film that will stay with you for a very long time, but it sure sticks out from the rest."

Zombieland

1006
Zombieland review

"If you're up for an entertaining, funny and fast zombie flick than Zombieland should be first pick. Even though it's not wildly original it hits all the right notes."

Life During Wartime

1007
Life During Wartime review

"I would advise against making this the first Solondz film you watch, just try Happiness or Storytelling first as these films are a bit more accessible."

Kasane

1008
Kasane review

"The film looks beautiful, the core drama is intriguing, ambiguous and heightened by minor fantastical elements and the payoff is more than satisfying."

The Tag-Along

1009
The Tag-Along review

"Still, it's nice to see Taiwan deliver a good horror film like this. The acting is well above par, the film looks great and the added couleur locale is sure to please seasoned horror fans."

Mr. Jones

1010
Mr. Jones review

"It's a selection of small details that lift this film above the rest for me."

The Woman Knight of Mirror Lake

1011
The Woman Knight of Mirror Lake review

"Fans of Yau should expect a cleaner and less gritty adoption of his trademark style, other people should be aware that Woman Knight can be a bit more direct than other, more typical martial arts epics"

One Million Yen Girl

1012
One Million Yen Girl review

"One Million Yen Girl is a very typical Japanese drama which does little to really set itself apart from its peers. It will mostly appear to fans of the genre, which I happen to be."

The Children

1013
The Children review

"Still, The Children is a strong entry in the recent horror hype."

The Seasoning House

1014
The Seasoning House review

"The Seasoning House isn't a perfect horror film."

In Love with the Dead

1015
In Love with the Dead review

"In Love With The Dead is a neat little genre film that thrives on atmosphere, providing a solid dramatic base overlaid with dark and brooding sentiments."

The Graduates

1016
The Graduates review

"It's a pretty good film for newcomers and hardened fans alike. The film is accessible, has enough drama for those not quite used to the slow pacing and leaves enough room for meandering thoughts."

Heavenly Forest

1017
Heavenly Forest review

"Tada, Kimi Wo Aishiteru is a sweet, cute, good-natured and hopelessly naive little film."

Eyes of the Spider

1018
Eyes of the Spider review

"The soundtrack is nice, the rhythm of the film is pretty unique and the bold approach to cutting up the story line is a refreshing change. Kurosawa proves himself an interesting director."

Taipei 24H

1019
Taipei 24H review

"After a somewhat slow start Taipei 24h gets up to steam and doesn't let down again."

Halfway

1020
Halfway review

"In the end Halfway is a film primarily made for existing fans of the genre. It's a very good, solid entry in the genre but does little to cross any existing boundaries."

Turn Left Turn Right

1021
Turn Left Turn Right review

"Turn Left, Turn Right is a simple, light-hearted drama, but conceptually quite strong and pure. The film demands that you go along with its concept and leave it at that."

Ip Man 3

1022
Ip Man 3 review

"Wilson Yip did well to wait a couple of years before making this third instalment. Yip Man 3 is a worthy successor, in every way possible."

Inland Empire

1023
Inland Empire review

"Inland Empire is still a pretty interesting film and if you've enjoyed Lynch's older films it won't be too much of a disappointment. But expect crappy video quality and less than preferable visuals."

Acolytes

1024
Acolytes review

"Acolytes could've failed in many ways, but in the end it didn't, which is quite the accomplishment."

Tales from the Dark Part 2

1025
Tales from the Dark Part 2 review

"Tales From The Dark 2 turned out to be a neat surprise."
