For some time, director Yimou Zhang has delivered a series of incredibly impressive movies that made Chinese cinema accessible and popular here in the US. Audiences here took first notice of the director in 1991 when his film "Raise The Red Lantern, [...]

Child's Play

September 17, 2009 // 0 Comments

It had been ages since I last saw "Child's Play, " I admit it. It must have been some time and although the basic story line and the film's iconic villain, the killer doll Chucky, have remained in my memory, I realized that I did not [...]

High Crimes

September 10, 2009 // 0 Comments
