Movie top list: 776 to 800
Nightfall

"If you're familiar with the genre, don't expect any surprises."
Mutants

"Those expecting lots of action, bucket loads of gore and continuous high tension will feel a little underwhelmed."
Crows Zero II

"Crows Zero II will probably appeal to the people who liked the first film and can bear a second, almost identical, serving."
Kingfisher

"Sheng delivers a visually superb film, provides a good score and a set of strong actors. The drama element is impressive for this type of film, the thriller elements are more than sufficient."
Attack the Block

"As it stands though, Attack The Block is a highly enjoyable film that blasts by in no time. It's a quality production that will hopefully secure a follow-up project for Joe Cornish."
Umbrella Flower

"The stellar lead performance by Tadanobu Asano, the crisp styling, and the balance of delicate drama with some rougher edges turn this into a quality film.~"
Instant Swamp

"He falls back to his regular weirdness and dry, absurd comedy. It all leads up to a rewarding ending, leaving you with a fuzzy feeling and a sense of chill bliss."
Winds of September

"A very solid film with strong acting all around, some very strong shots and camera work and a pretty touching story about a group of kids growing up."
Outrage: Coda

"Coda serves a worthy ending to the trilogy, sporting an excellent cast, stark and beautiful cinematography and a stunning score."
Keane

"Thanks to Damien Lewis' stellar performance, a very visceral style of direction, and a sublime finale the film hits like a sledgehammer, which I can only applaud."
In Search of Echo

"The superb cinematography and lovely sound design bring the unique setting to life and form the perfect foundation for a stylish drama with light genre elements embedded."
30 Days of Night

"A film that thrives on its setting and the atmosphere Slade manages to draw from it. The creepy vampires, the polished cinematography and moody soundtrack only enhance the icy dread."
The End of the Pale Hour

"The execution is slick, the performances are strong, the score is a bit more refined and the themes are handled with the proper respect and gravitas."
Sauna

"Sauna is an impressive experience, solid in just about every department. Extremely strong lead, nice and fitting visuals, great soundtrack and intriguing storyline."
Merry-Go-Round

"If only the soundtrack would've been a bit better, this film could have turned out to be a small masterpiece."
The Flowers of War

"The Flowers Of War borders on sentimentality and poses as a very epic endeavor. It's Zhang's magnificent direction that erases any major critiques, turning the film into a proper epic spectacle."
One Percenter

"The cinematography is on point, the performances are way above average and the action scenes are vibrant, everything is there to become a niche favorite."
Outrage: Beyond

"Outrage: Beyond falls just a little short of its predecessor. Because of the fact that it feels like the middle section of a full-blown trilogy the ending isn't as convincing as it could've been."
Godspeed

"Depending on where you're coming from, Godspeed is either a superb crime flick or an ever so slightly disappointing Mong-Hong Chung film."
The Brink

"Li delivers a fun, gritty and stylish crime flick with some very impressive action scenes and a stand-out performance by Shawn Yue."
Whisper of the Heart

"Kondo's first film is a perfect match for the Ghibli brand."
Bright Future

"The characters are interesting, the performances are perfect, the narrative structure feels fresh and the presentation is stylish without being overly detracting."
Daaaaaali!

"Daaaaaali! is a fitting and refreshing ode to one of the biggest painters of the 20th century, and it's every bit as madcap as the man's paintings."
Tales from Earthsea

"A stylish and well-executed fantasy film, sporting Ghibli's polished animation, a lovely soundtrack, and a morally ambiguous lead character."
New Blood

"Hyn Huet Ching Nin is a good place to start if you're interested in watching a Hong Kong horror flick. Maybe it's not really all that representative, but that's what makes it easier to digest."
