Devilman (2004) (Japanese) 2007-05-12 20:40:48
A new, big budget adaptation of the long running, hugely popular horror/action anime created in 1972 by Go Nagai. A sprawling, apocalyptic and violent tale of battling demons that has a considerable cult following, any attempt to transfer “Devilman” to the live action medium was always going to be an uphill struggle. It involves the accidental release of a demonic species from Antarctica, whose numbers spread via an infection, which corrupts and transforms normal people. This leads to an apocalyptic war, in which humanity’s only hope is Akira (Hisato Izaki, from Japanese
boy band ‘Flame’), a weedy teen who merges with a demonic entity to become Devilman, a powerful, yet conscientious beast that fights both monsters and the fascist and brutal human forces trying to wipe out the new species. Akira is opposed by his former best friend, the somewhat psychotic Ryo (Yusuke Izaki, twin brother of Hisato, and fellow ‘Flame’ member), who becomes an equ

The Myth (2005) (Chinese) 2007-05-15 23:11:18
“This is a wonderful movie with a mixture of many cultures in it. Just try and admire this movie and you will notice how they merge everything together. The language used in this movie is of course Cantonese as it is a movie from Hong Kong. Then there’s Mandarin and Korean language and also at some parts they spoke Indian (I have no idea it’s Hindi or Tamil language). They also communicated in English because they wanted to potray the modern world as English is known as the international language. The actors also come from a variety of races. Though the things that occurred in this movie might seem quite far-fetched, the title “The Myth” explains it all. Whether it’s comedy, love, friendship, past, present, technology or wonders, this movie got it all! By the way, the soundtracks match very well with the movie, I just can’t stop listening to the theme song “Endless Love” sung by Jackie and Kim. ”

The Banquet (2006) (Chinese) 2007-05-19 15:45:19
(Review from rottentomatoes.)
Let’s start with the craftsmanship on “The Banquet
.” It’s impeccable. I give the people who worked on the visuals an A, maybe even an A+. You will not find a single frame in this film that wouldn’t make a great wallpaper. The costumes and sets, which are meticulously designed, look amazing. The locations are appropriately picturesque. The two lead actresses even become part of the eye candy. Some of the cinematography look like it came straight from “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.” The effects work, mostly used to show off the grandness of the palace, is solid for a Chinese
production.
There’s also not a single sympathetic character in the film. We’re supposed to be rooting for the late Emperor’s son Wu Luan (Dan Wu) to avenge his father’s death and become the rightful ruler, but he spends most of his time brooding. I’m not sure if Empress Wan (Zhang Ziyi) is sleeping her way to th
