Blu-ray Review: Legendary Amazons

Legendary Amazons is a historical epic from director Frankie Chan, backed with the star power of Jackie Chan. Unfortunately, this time out Jackie isn't acting, rather, he is filling the role of producer. Something tells me the movie would have been better had Jackie's mug appeared onscreen instead of just the credits. You see, the movie provides some moments of entertainment, but for the most part feels flat and lifeless.

Blu-ray Review: White Vengeance

Directed and written by Daniel Lee (Black Mask, Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dagon), White Vengeance is a sprawling epic. It is a visual feast that must have been a joy for the director of photography, Tony Cheung. However, for as pretty as it looks and how expertly staged the action is, despite it being based on actual Chinese history, I found the movie to be more than a little on the dry side and awfully difficult to connect with. Clocking in at well over two hours, it became a bit of an endurance test.

Movie Review: The Eagle (2011)

Back in the early A.D.'s the Roman Empire was still expanding its reach. Fortunately, this is not about the big picture of the Empire. Not that it would be a bad thing, but the scope would be a bit much. Instead we focus on the aftermath of one particular incident that occurred in the north of Britain in the Scottish empire. The Eagle gives us the story of the golden eagle Standard that was lost by the Ninth. Certainly enough in the story to make an interesting film, but is this that film?
