Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons (2013): Odyssey Fail

Our respected director Stephen Chow forgot his enormous successes in past twenty years primarily benefit from the sarcastic life philosophy for small potatoes in films, and his amazing exaggerating acting skills.

The retro stylish bounty hunter story by screenwriter Fung Chih-Chiang is quite creative. Nevertheless, this film really has a big potential which is just failed […]

Nobody Makes the Sun, Алеша

Lavishly produced and imaginatively shot, the film will delight audience who enjoy extravagantly gorgeous imagery without the violence that usually accompanies it...

C’est Bon

Yann Samuell’s Jeux d’enfants is expressing an ultimate life of human romance – just child’s play. So the English title “Love Me If You Dare” would make audience confused and the movie itself out of magnificence...
