Reign of Assassins DVD Review

Reign of Assassins

Since Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon hit big back in 2000 and unexpectedly crossed over into the mainstream thanks to director Ang Lee’s artful approach, the Wuxia sub genre of Asian action flicks has been in kind of a funk.

Tower Block Poster

Every year Fantastic Fest is at the forefront of genre film programming, providing a veritable feast of degradation, mutilation and violence to it’s utterly insatiable audiences.

Check out the New Trailer for John Woo’s Reign of Assassins

Reign of Assassins

This trailer for the new film from John Woo and his co-director Su Chao-Pin, Reign of Assassins, may not deviate from the thousand other martial arts films we’ve seen and the wire work which so excited in the outlandish hyper real aerial battles of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Tiger is getting a little ordinary, but there’s [...]




Trailer: Red Cliff

Red Cliff Poster

The only thing I don’t like about this new trailer from John Woo, Red Cliff is the voice over. The movies looks like an epic collection of amazing cinematography, beautiful landscape, seamless CGI and giant battle scenes. Red Cliff stars Tony Leung, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Zhang Fengyi, Chang Chen and actually came out in the UK [...]
