This World of Ours

This World of Ours review

"Nakajima's first film is not for everybody. It combines the rawness of films like Pornostar and even Irréversible with the poetry and drama of films like Tokyo.Sora."

"The first fifteen minutes where a little though, but once Sumida starts his descent into madness the film never back down."

The Professional

The Professional review

"The film has aged surprisingly well. The action scenes are still amazing, Reno and Portman continue to impress and there's an edgy playfulness that keeps the film from becoming overly serious."

Magnolia

Magnolia review

"From a professional and critical point of view, Magnolia is probably PTA's most accomplished film. It's a three hour long ensemble film that feels playful, energetic and upbeat."

Natural Born Killers

Natural Born Killers review

"It's a pretty crazy ride that revels in the violence on display, while at the same time lashing out at the media's sensationalism and the audience's lack of critical standards."

Raging Phoenix

The Girl Who Leapt through Time

0357
The Girl Who Leapt through Time review

" If you're in the mood for action or lots of plot twists, there's little here for you. But if you're up for a little variation on the Ghibli magic, this film might be a pretty good bet to make."

Pieta

0358
Pieta review

"Pieta is a pretty complete package. The film looks great, has a superb soundtrack, two extremely impressive leads and a boatload of symbolism for those who enjoy that kind of thing."

Fireball

"The raw and unrelenting bouts are really spectacular and make this one of the best action flicks I've seen in a long time."

Slumdog Millionaire

Slumdog Millionaire review

"Slumdog Millionaire works on all levels. While it starts off as a light drama it ends as a pure feel-good film and has no trouble making it work."

Young Dudes

"It's a shame it takes a little too long before the film gets really going, because Chen is obviously a very talented director."

Land of Broken Hearts

0365
Land of Broken Hearts review

"A mash-up of genres and creative ideas that bring life to an otherwise stale genre. Shipei Wen's direction is confident, the presentation is lavish and the central performances are strong."

Sakuran

0366
Sakuran review

"Sakuran is a cool film, if only because it gives you something worth looking at for its entire running time."

Wonogawa

0367
Wonogawa review

"A film with superb designs, overflowing with creative ideas, more than enough intriguing lore to fill at least three films and executed in a way that hides most of its financial struggles."

Daemonium: Underground Soldier

0368
Daemonium: Underground Soldier review

"Even so, Daemonium: Underground Soldier is probably a little too bonkers to appeal to mainstream fans."

Veronica

0369
Veronica review

"At its very core, Veronica is a rather simple and mousy little headfuck. But the execution is smart, stylish and honed to perfection."

The Book of Eli

0370
