About Jazz

(Initial) While browsing the shops, I noticed Gladiator was quite cheap, and thought what an age it had been since I had last seen it. To my shock, there was no review on this site, so ever the opportunist, I decided to give my opinion. (Movie) Russel Crowe stars as General Maximus, who by the rule of a new young Emperor is forced into slavery. With his family’s slaughter on his mind, he

Hong Kong Legends to help promote their DVD’s, have released a special promotional DVD. It includes a Jet Li film, Hitman, and oh yes its £3.99, yes really it is only four quid.

After earlier success of the Killer and A Better Tomorrow, John Woo and Chow Yun Fat reunited one more time (the last collaboration as actor and director to date), to make Hard Boiled.

Sam Raimi, now an A List director thanks to Spiderman, found himself on rocky waters early on. After critical success for Evil Dead, and huge cult following thanks to Evil Dead 2, Sam was given his first studio produced film. He wanted to do Phantom, the studio's said no, so he made his own hero - Darkman. While no doubt in my mind the film is good...

When you get ED2, through the post you might notice this is no ordinary DVD. Before even opening the envelope, you notice this envelope is bigger and fuller. Your wildest dreams cannot describe this beautiful metal tin. Its sleek, cool and a real joy for the owner...

Since the departure of Chow Yun Fat and John Woo to Hollywood, there has been a noticeable genre missing from Hong Kong cinema - Heroic Bloodshed. This doesn't mean there have not been attempts to recreate the success, but it means there have not been many good ones. So director Johnnie To in 1999 and tried his luck with the film Fulltime Killer. So with singer/actor Andy...

In the future aliens are attacking the earth, and pretty much have control, except a small resistance which is located in Tibet. They send a girl back in time (Milly) to stop this invasion from ever...

In 1997, a Japanese horror movie directed by Hideo Nakata, based on a novel by Koji Suzuki, was released. This film was called Ringu, well it was actually the Ring, but so we aren’t confused, the original is called Ringu...

This film holds a special place in my heart, as this was the first martial arts DVD I ever bought and due to this movie I've bought loads more.

Back when John Woo (Face/Off) was good, and being hyped up by Sam Raimi (Spider-man and Evil Dead 2) and QuentinTarintino (Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs), he released a film, that turned action on its head.

This movie comes from the director who bought you, Twin Peaks, Blue Velvet and Lost Highway. So you can expect it to be a real roller coaster, as you try to fit the pieces together of the jigsaw that is a David Lynch movie.

Studio Executive one day thinks, 'hmmmm lets make a film, which capitalizes on the recent success of reality TV, but wait most of the bits, in theses shows are boring. Oh I know we'll add horror to the mix, and we're on to a winner’.

This movie is famous first for the incarnation of Freddie, who has appeared in this movie, but in many sequels (played always by the show stealing Robert Englund, who may reprise his role, in a rumoured Jason Vs Freddie movie).

From director Park Chan-wook (Joint Security Area and Sympathy For Mr. Vengeance) comes the winner of the Grand Jury Prize at Cannes – OLDBOY.

Jet Li is back as Wong Fei Hung, you know that must mean someone is up to no good. The sequel sees Tsui Hark joined by another legend Woo Ping, and Jet Li joined by Donnie Yen.

PTU is about a detective who has lost his gun, and now must recover it; he decides to take a chance by not reporting it, and therefore putting everything on the line to find that gun. He has people helping him, including the Police Tactical Unit.

The story is about a team, made up of shaolin monks, who with their crippled and disgraced coach must defy the odds and show the world the benefits of kung fu (Hmm sounds a bit like Mighty Ducks, but without the kung fu).

From the makers of the hit TV series Spaced comes the British zombie comedy film SHAUN OF THE DEAD! The story revolves around Shaun (Simon Pegg) who works as a sales assistant at a small electrical retailer. Shaun shares a house with career minded...

I will be ground breaking again as I review the first Korean DVD on this site and it is called Shiri (sometimes called Swiri). First a bit of background on this movie, Shiri was the first Korean film that was funded completely within its own country

Today I will review a classic of yester year, Taxi Driver. It stars Robert De Niro and a young Jodie Foster. This movie won best picture at the '76 Cannes film festival, and got Oscar nominations for best film, best actor (De Niro) and best supporting actress (Foster) - not bad a thing to write on a case of a DVD
