Cine Asia continues to supply us Brits with some gems from the East, with Jija Yanin's Thai martial arts flick Raging Phoenix up next. Following from the bonkers fighting style seen in Chocolate, this looks like a hell of a...

When I was a kid the allure of celebrity endorsement was a little different. Besides being a little more impressionable I had to look a lot harder for "cool" stuff. That's one reason people are so fond of the back...

Ah...BBC... where we're you when I was younger and more impressionable. This solid black and white 1966 adaptation of the Lewis Carroll story may help wipe the 'meh taste out of your mouth from the last technicolor 3D one that...

Connoisseurs of dog-based TV drama will know that The Littlest Hobo was always the cool guy when it came to unusually gifted canines. A rough and ready loner, he'd have kicked Lassie's fluffy, groomed ass in a fight, slept with...

The fourth kind is about as memorable as the average alien abduction. Except for some minor discomfort the viewer is liable to be left asking "Whahappn?" That a film like this could get made is the only real indicator of...

I was aghast to see this film all but ignored by the Academy Awards this year. Spike Jones has plucked the magic from an enduring childrens classic and created a timeless cinematic fable. In an age where the term kids...

Well, not quiet an answer, because the shooting of Devil's Flower (Цветок Дьявола) started in 2007, before Twilight was released. But it does look somehow similar. Maybe that's because Twilight is made mostly by women, and director of Twilight is...
