THE BRAVEST Review: An Explosive Tale Of Crisis Management And Soul-Searching Redemption In A City On Fire
Fires, volcanic eruptions, deadly earthquakes and political turmoil encompass but a fraction of the global upheaval that has since carried into the new year. Thus, Tony Chan’s visually breathtaking thriller, The Bravest, couldn’t have come at a more introspective and opportune time for Chinese cinema as the industry mapped out a specific course in the last few years, segueing from military-themed vehicles to more rescue-centric narratives as seen in films like The Captain with Hanyu Zhang, and Dante Lam’s aptly-named The Rescue.
Your Next Viewing: THE WAVE
Have you ever watched a movie that when it ended, you wanted to watch it again, but still wondered what you had just watched?
IP MAN 4 Review: Wing Chun, Ip Man…One Last Time
Call it providence. Call it luck. Call it what you will. At the height of their careers, a film like Ip Man 4: The Finale, couldn’t have come at a better time for actors Donnie Yen and Scott Adkins, both who’ve successfully garnered the acclaim and passable demand that their fanbases have been hoping for.
IRON FISTS AND KUNG FU KICKS Review: An Historical, Open-Ended Saga That Will Have You Clenching Your Fists For More
Look in almost any kung fu or martial arts cinema library or archive, and you’re bound to find a documentary of some kind. It helps, however, that there are as many documentaries on the genre as there are, delivered over the years with the last several generations sharing their own respective interpretations on the cinematic art of stunt performance, fisticuffs and stylish whoopass.

Review: CREPITUS Features a Creepy Clown, But Not Creepy Enough
If you’re a fan of the horror genre, you would probably agree that in these films, clowns and children can be creepy, right? So when I read the official synopsis of Crepitus, I was excited. I just knew I’d meet a new creepy clown to scare my coulrophobic friend with and was excited to see the havoc it would wreak.
THE DRIVER Review: Wych Kaosayananda’s Latest Is An Empowered, Redemptive, Zombie Killing Family Affair
It’s been several years since director Wych Kaosayanada overcame arduously weaving together a more marketable narrative of his 2012 Thai murder drama, Angels with the Dustin Nguyen/Scott Adkins starrer, Zero Tolerance. The director even takes a handle of his own cinematography of his work for the most part, which, in turn, contributes to one of my own guilty pleasures, Dustin Nguyen’s Once Upon A Time In Vietnam.

This is what happens in The Fare, only it’s not just a boring routine: Harris (Gino Anthony Pesi) and his rider Penny (Brinna Kelly) are actually trapped in a time loop.
