They say that this is the slowest time of year for quality movie fare, but is that always true? Here’s a quick look at some current and upcoming releases… Kill List, Man on a Ledge, Haywire, The Grey, The Innkeepers, The Secret World of Arrietty, Rampart, The Wicker Tree, and even a couple of home video titles.

Bloody Fists is a straight forward story of Chinese villagers fighting evil Japanese. The film has high quality direction from Ng See Yuen and a convincing cast that makes the most of it. Chen Sing plays an anti-hero, Henry Yu Yung plays a hero, and Chen Kuan Tai plays a completely villainous leader of a Japanese gang. Yuen Woo Ping was an action-director on this film.

Did you miss this engaging drama during its theatrical run last year? Well, here’s your chance to correct that possible oversight—with the new home video release of the Chris Evans-starrer…

A Shaw Brothers martial arts film by a director more at home with crime thrillers and horror films, featuring more historical sword play than hand to hand kung fu styles? It works very well and makes for a pensive yet violent action movie with depth and emotion as it depicts the overzealous policing methods of its main character. Chen Kwan Tai stars as the Chief Constable, with Jason Pai Piao making the most of his few appearances as a mercenary. It deservedly ranks as classic among the many released by Shaw.

In this second installment of their franchise, it’s clear director Guy Ritchie and company no longer feel the need to prove themselves—and the result is a film that’s deeper, darker, and more compelling…

Is this much-anticipated “movie event” nothing more than a studio cash-grab, one that just happens to be orchestrated by a famous auteur? Maybe. But that doesn’t mean that the impressive final product isn’t worthy of our cash…

With Dragon Lee’s career being practically built on mimicking the great Bruce Lee in a lot of movies of dubious quality, it is nice to see him in a film where he does that much less and provides his own genuine performance. This attempt at a costume epic is mightily flawed, and is yet eerily watchable at times. 

A gang of Viet Nam vets rob a bank, and the gang leader’s son and adopted son get involved in protecting a witness and solving the case unaware their father is the mastermind. Jonathan Ke Quan and champion fighter Jerry Trimble give standout action performances, while Bolo Yeung puts a drastically different spin on the henchman character he is usually known to play.
