    Unfortunately, while "Ip Man: The Final Fight" does give us a more human incarnation of the titular character, he's lost underneath a sea of supporting characters and subplots. The movie does boast some of the coolest production values and fight scenes that the trend has ever delivered, but its scatterbrained narrative is so frustrating!
  2. “In the Name of the King II: Two Worlds (2011)” movie review.

    “In the Name of the King 2” is bad, but much like its predecessor, it’s just generically bad. It’s what I expect out of a direct-to-DVD, low budgeted sequel to a movie that wasn’t even good to begin with- regardless of Uwe Boll’s involvement. If anything, Dolph Lundgren’s surreal performance was sometimes entertaining…But the key word is 'sometimes'. Usually I was just kind of bored.

    “The One” seems to be comprised of a handful of awesome sequences which arguably surpassed “The Matrix” when it came to sheer coolness, but it doesn’t have much else going for it. Sad, as it had an interesting premise, a hair wielding Jason Statham and TWO Jet Li’s kicking ass. It’s still fun, but it could’ve been so much more than a wannabe Matrix.

    Yet much to my surprise, “Second in Command” turned out to be a thoroughly entertaining action flick. It’s certainly not one of Jean-Claude Van Damme’s stronger efforts, but its breezy pace and seemingly unlimited amount of explosions warmed my heart.

    The problem with “Kiss of the Damned” is it aims to please the arthouse crowd, but it’s not good enough to really be considered a high brow film. Still, as far as erotic vampire films go, it was pretty erotic…You'll either like or loathe it. I'm still not sure what I feel myself.
  6. “Disciples of Shaolin (1975)” movie review.

    “Disciples of Shaolin” tries its hardest to balance comedy, drama, kung fu, tragedy and even romance, but everything is crammed in together so much that it becomes difficult to say the movie excels in any of those regards…Although it doesn’t fail either. The effort does sometimes pay off.
  7. “Halloween: Resurrection (2002)” movie review.

    "Halloween: Resurrection" would be an acceptable slasher if it wasn't called 'Halloween', but it is...So it's not acceptable. The movie ends after the first 15 minutes and the remaining hour is just filler. Of all the entries within this 'flawed' franchise, I wish this one didn't exist the most. It's not the worst, but it pretty much killed the franchise.
