Pre-2020 Film Reviews
Arrebato
Gregory J. Smalley @ 366 Weird Movies
- Excerpt: A mostly delightful, sometimes frustrating mess, best seen as Zulueta’s onscreen self-psychoanalysis, performed in a post-Franco atmosphere of loosened censorship that encouraged ecstatic excess. Any meaning the tale suggests disappears into the spaces between frames.

Infamous
Prison on Fire
- Excerpt: “Prison on Fire” is a true classic of HK action cinema, and a movie that has stood the test of time in the best fashion, remaining a must-watch until today.
The Story of Woo Viet
- Excerpt: “The Story of Woo Viet” is an excellent movie that highlights Ann Hui’s directorial abilities and particularly the way she combines entertaining genre elements with deep sociopolitical context, as much as Chow Yun-fat’s charisma that, once again, fills the screen each time he makes his appearance.
