Bunraku
Hard to say, hard to love.
Action
Rod Lott
“Bunraku” gets its name from a form of traditional Japanese puppetry, but it may as well be called “Cowboys and Samurai” or something equally generic. The sophomore effort of director Guy Moshe raises hopes for something special in its animated opening credits, which depict violence throughout civilization, but there’s simply too much going on here for a rather simple revenge story.
Yakuza Weapon
In terms of value for your time, this ‘Weapon’ may prove lethal.
Action
Rod Lott
Opening the disc for "Yakuza Weapon" is the trailer for Donnie Yen's "Flash Point," which looks incredible. In. Cred. Ible. Sadly, it’s nearly the high point of the Blu-ray/DVD combo pack, after the feature’s Colorforms-esque closing credits.
Tokyo drift
Brandon Reierson’s far-out fashion drawings have made a splash in the Far East, so why not at home?
Zoom In: Sex Apartments
A nice place to visit, but you wouldn't want to live there.
Thriller
Rod Lott
It's both a blessing and a shame that Zoom In: Sex Apartments carries such an exploitative title: a blessing because it may trick some horny guys into watching a better movie than they'd expect, and a shame because, well, Sex Apartments. (Hey, it could be worse: The original subtitle was Rape Apartments.)
I Wish
A pair of young brothers need a miracle to reunite a family in a beautifully observant drama.
