Sworn To Justice

Monday, January 10th, 2005

Outside of her Hong Kong movies Sworn To Justice features some of Rothrock’s best scenes, martial arts wise. The problem is that there are simply not enough of them.

Spotswood

Spotswood is a move which takes it’s time to let the characterisations mature, but does so with a reasonable feeling of pace, and it’s a local movie, but one with international appeal.

Raging Angels

Tuesday, December 28th, 2004

I really hope that this movie was paid for by a church somewhere, Ed Wood style. At least in that case you could say that some sort of misguided sense of evangelism was behind it, and write it off as The Passion Of Moloch

Gang Law (AKA Hot Boyz)

C.I.A II: Target Alexa

Wednesday, August 25th, 2004

Despite Lorenzo’s top billing, the ever lovely Kathleen Kinmont is most definitely the star. The central message of the film seems to be “don’t underestimate hot chicks”, as a series of ignorant males get offed after doing just that
