Eastern Cherries â First Experiences of Asian Cinema: Korea Edition Part III
While I can definitively say that Jackie Chan introduced me to Hong Kong/Chinese cinema and that Godzilla opened the door for me to the world of Japanese cinema, itâs a little harder to remember where my appreciation for Korean film began. Thatâs interesting because I didnât get into Korean movies until the last decade or so, whereas my interest in HK and Japanese film began much earlier. I think, unlike … Continue reading

Director: David Gordon Green Cast: Jamie Lee Curtis, Judy Greer, Andi Matichak, Will Patton, Virginia Gardner, Nick Castle, Haluk Bilginer, Toby Huss, Jefferson Hall, Rhian Rees Running Time: 105 min. By Kyle Warner Itâs strange â yet totally welcome, in my opinion â for a slasher movie to be an event film in 2018. And it seems only appropriate that it would be a new Halloween that summoned the crowds … Continue reading
Eastern Cherries â First Experiences of Asian Cinema: Japan Edition Part II
I think itâs fair to say that Japanese cinema was a part of my movie watching experience since childhood. I was a kid who loved dinosaurs and as a result I loved watching dinosaur and monster movies. I didnât really understand until much later that a sizeable number of these movies were made in other countries, many of them in Japan. They were dubbed and, to be honest, the human … Continue reading

By Kyle Warner In days like these, when seemingly every other person in Alaska has their own reality TV show and the powers that be plan to put oil pipelines all across the land, the state of Alaska is losing some of its rugged, dangerous appeal. But in the deep … Continue reading

By Kelly Warner I like Jean-Claude Van Damme. I blame/thank the good people of this here site for convincing me to give the actorâs films another look after I had dismissed them as forgettable, low-rent action movies. And, to be sure, some … Continue reading

Eastern Cherries – First Experiences of Asian Cinema: Hong Kong & China Edition Part II
Today I couldn’t tell you whose idea it was to go to Blockbuster and rent a Jackie Chan VHS but I can clearly remember more than one family movie night spent laughing and gasping in shock while watching Operation Condor. Of course, even this innocent memory of a Hong Kong superstarâs attempt at an Indiana Jones movie is somehow wrapped up in Weinstein controversy. For the longest time, pre-internet Kyle … Continue reading

By Kelly Warner Like most people, my first Seijun Suzuki film was the infamous Branded to Kill. It was unlike any crime movie Iâd seen before; weird, visually inventive, playful, and shocking. Jo Shishido got off on the smell of rice, there were all … Continue reading
