Like the good old days of popcorn and horror!!!
28 September 2008
Forget the past review, this is one hell of a movie!!! I'm so happy to see stuff like this or Hatchet, cause they have the feeling of the golden age of gore horror funny films... remember brain damage or house and stuff like that? just friends popcorn and a bad ass funny over the top film! ...its so nice to see some good old style horror films, now that horror is so conservative, full of ghost dramatic stories or remakes. And above all that we have one of the modern classic actors of the genre, Mr Englund. I think there will be a lot of people who will find this film bad or something, but to that people, please rent or buy another Asian Hollywood remake, drama/ghosts from spain or a new Texas chainsaw clone. For all of you who enjoy : basket case, braindead, brain damage, house and evil dead, this will be a pleasure to watch.Thanks to the people behind this film, this was one hell of a ride!!! truly thanks!! and I'm looking forward for a part II

Black Belt (2007)

Karate... real and pure!
17 June 2008
It was a pleasure to see on screen the true soul of one of the more traditional martial art. The story is great and the masters who play the lead characters do a great job, but for me, what the film was all about is simple as one word: Karate, the soul of the art, the realism of the fights, the Kata, just everything in the movie looks so real and pure. I think in some ways this film reminds me the works of Yoyi Yamada (the hidden blade - the twilight samurai) who also show the realism of the samurai warrior in his last days. For all of you who has practice some kind of martial art, this is a must! but like another comment said, don't expect tony jaa kind of fights, but the simplicity an power of the karate art. great film

i love it!!!!!!! great old school formula back at last!!!!
17 June 2008
i remember when i saw: no retreat no surrender, the karate kid, the karate warrior, the first kick boxer, bloodsport and many more back in the good old days... this movie brings back all that memories for me. Sure its not original, but isn't the wasted formula of cop/martial arts/CIA/ex CIA blah blah blah that has poison the genre in the last years. This is like a gift for all of us who enjoy our cinematic adolescence watching a bad ass Russian kick boxer versus a disciple of the ghost of Bruce lee. I really want to thank the makers of this film, thanks for make me feel like 16 again, thanks for a great 80's old school martial arts formula: new kid with a past/funny friend/gorgeous girl/the bad rich kid who happens to be a martial arts monster/the master/the training/tournament ... i love it!!! hopping someday for: NEVER BACK DOWN 2!!!!!

PS. i also enjoy films like "kuro obi" and "ong back", but this isn't about that, its about the magic of a film to bring you back all that you have lost growing up.*

a movie that will touch every inch of your heart!!!
22 October 2006
What a trip full of emotions was to see this film....it's passed a half hour since i finished the movie, and let me tell you something, i still feel my heart overweight...the story is simple, a playboy fall in love for the first time with a patient of a hospital.I don't wanna spoil anything, cause it will rest the impact of the film. I recommend this film to be watch with your boy/girlfriend, and it has a lot of comedy in the first half, so it will be entertainment even for the ones who don't fall to much for romance films. The music its outstanding too, and i have seen a lot of Korean romance-comedy-dramas, and let me tell you , this film will move you like anything you have seen before.

Kiltro (2006)
10/10
Classic kung fu spaghetti western salad from Chile!!!!
24 April 2006
Amazing, the soundtrack will blow the mind of all the fanatics of Morricone or Bacalov... a lot of spaghetti western influence like Tarantino's Kill Bill, plus bloody gore fx zatoichi style. Zaror was very good in the fights , and also he has a lot of charisma , but my favorite one was Miguel Angel DeLuca, the Kung Fu sensei who plays the bad guy in the film, a really great performance full of intense moments , like the tragic flashbacks (you will remember Leone in one of them). A very entertainment film that has quality and heart. Back off Tonny Jaa , here comes Kiltro!. I recommend this film to all the fans of the old kung fu films, spaghetti western, Miike, Tonny Jaa and martial arts.

Masters of Horror (2005–2007)
really good old school horror!!!
13 November 2005
I really recommend this series for all horror fans who are tired of the new ghost films era, this is old school baby!!!! blood , violence , interesting plots and an excellent camera work in the two episodes i have seen. I was really glad that we can enjoy new works from this old masters... for all of you who enjoyed re-animator, Friday the 13, Texas chainsaw (the old one), Halloween, etc etc... But remember, this is old school , so if your kind of horror is the ring and stuff like that, try ghost whisperer or medium. I cant wait to see the works of Carpenter, Argento and Miike , their are my favorite ones. Mckee too, cause May is one of my favorite films.
