Movie top list: 1026 to 1050
CJ7
"A film that could charm you as easily as it could disappoint you. Chow is enough of a director to pull it off, but those wanting another typical Chow comedy will be left with empty hands."
White Panic
"All in all White Panic is a great calling card for director Shugo Fujii (who you might already know from Living Hell)."
7 Days
"Les 7 Jour du Talion is another great entry in the Francophone wave of modern horror films."
Loved Gun
"Loved Gun is a moody crime flick, built on an excellent cast and enriched with a layer of comedic touches, aptly hidden behind a veil of introspection and subdued stylistic choices."
Leaving Me, Loving You
"Wonderful cinematography, lush sets and two strong actors make this film. You have to wade through a few mushy parts, mostly in the beginning, after that it's all good."
The Red Shoes
"The ending is pretty cool (especially the short second ending), the film never bores, remains beautiful throughout and is just plain good at everything it tries and does."
Secret
"Feels a bit poppy and maybe a bit too flimsy, apart from that it's one big solid romance with a pretty cool twist and a magnificent ending leaving you pretty fulfilled after the film has finished."
Hard Luck Hero
"The actors are solid, there are quirky narrative details, the cinematography is on point and the pacing is slick. All that is needed for some prime entertainment."
They Came Back
"The film remains mysterious throughout its complete running time, though nothing much is actually happening."
15: The Movie
"The vibrant cinematography and the poppy score set the mood for a mix of light-hearted fun and more deep-digging drama, perfectly carried out by the actors."
Town Creek
"A short, fun and visually accomplished ride through Schumacher's world of Nazis and horror. Just sit back and enjoy the ride."
The Man of the Year
"The setup of the plot is smart, the styling is a bit edgier, the performances are strong and the way everything unfolds propels you through the first half of the film."
Cherry Tree Lane
"Williams delivers a short, poignant and strong film."
Mum & Dad
"Potential aplenty and if the idea of a mellowed down mix between Calvaire and Martyrs appeals to you this is definitely a film worth watching. "
Phobia
"All in all, the film presents four fun horror shorts, none of them below average, three of them come up with interesting elements."
Carpooling Shock
"While Zhang goes through the motions of the genre, he does so with considerable flair and gusto, upgrading the end result to something that kept me interested from start to finish."
Coweb
"Coweb is little more than an excuse to show some nicely choreographed fights and that's what it delivers. All the rest is filler and is handled accordingly."
The Road Less Traveled
"While not without faults, The Road Less Traveled is a pretty nice film featuring strong performances and striking visuals."
The Fourth Kind
"Best to judge for yourself though. How you go into the film will have a big influence on your appreciation. If you don't like the trick Osunsanmi is pulling you'll quite probably hate it."
Flowers in the Shadow
"If you liked Always - Sunset On Third Street I'm pretty confident to recommend this film, if not it might be better to catch that film first."
To be revealed
February
"It's a nice drama with some timely accents, well acted and the film's a pleasure to look at. All in all a good reconnaissance with Sippapak's work"
