The Cold Fusioneers
- It’s a Beautiful Film Worth Fighting ForBodyguards and Assassins (2009) - Thankfully here, we have what is essentially a very good character-driven period drama. Notice that I say period drama and not period action film. […]
- It’s a Beautiful Film Worth Fighting ForRogue Assassin (2007) – Probably worse than the Steven Seagal plot is the Steven Seagal style of action. This is especially unfortunate, considering that the action director was Corey Yuen, who was once one of Hong Kong’s top choreographers. […]

- The Gorilla’s LamentDhoom (2004) – Dhoom sets out to be a big dumb action movie, and it succeeds completely. It’s big, it’s an action movie, and it’s dumb. […]
- The Gorilla’s LamentAladin (2009) – Disjointed but entertaining special effects extravaganza, starring Amitabh Bachchan as the Genie of the Lamp. […]
