Director Yeo Joon Han(L) – Actor Peter Davis(R) The SELL OUT screening on day 4 of the NYAFF on July 4th was one of the highlights of the festival so far for me. It was a day to celebrate malaysian cinema as comedy, satire, & cynicism reigned supreme in this musical tour de force! Director, […]

July 20th, 2010 by Planet Chocko
The screening of Merantau at the 2010 New York Asian Film Festival was much anticipated by…me! For one, it was the last day of the festival and secondly, I was yearning for a good old thrashing & bashing of a martial arts movie after watching a few dramatic films like Golden Slumber & Castaway on […]

GOLDEN SLUMBER
July 8th, 2010 by Planet Chocko
Golden Slumber, a mystery-thriller movie with hints of comedy & action was a nice introduction back into Japanese cinema for this neophyte! I thoroughly enjoyed the film with the few twists & turns offered into the plot even if it was mere fantasy than believable! I can’t wait to watch Yoshihiro Nakamura’s(Director of the movie) […]

I thought I would of raised my martian snausage nose up to such a film as Storm Warriors with all it’s magic,mystic, & wire-fu acts of self inflicting honor, but to be honest I actually enjoyed the freak show! The film was like a done up whore complete with fake boobs, long legs,pretty face, & […]
