Joan Chen

Haing S. Ngor, Bussaro Sanruck

Warner Home Video, 1995

This is not a war movie---this is not the third movie in a trilogy
This film was recommended to me by amazon.com because of my previous purchases of movies concerning the Vietnam War. Every previous film that I have purchased gave the view of the war from the perspective of the American men who fought there. This is the first film ...

Judge Dredd

Sylvester Stallone, Diane Lane

Walt Disney Video, 1996

There was a comic?!
In all honest I had NO idea there was a comic book of this when Judge Dredd came out. I was only 10 years old when the movie came out and I still remember it to the day that this movie was just hands down fantastic. To me, this movie was like The Fifth Element of its ...

Heaven & Earth (1993)
Tommy Lee Jones, Joan Chen

Warner Home Video

Last Emperor

John Lone, Joan Chen

Columbia Tristar Hom, 1993

Takes a while to sink in
This film tells the story of Pu Yi, the last Emperor of China. It is a long, quiet, detailed film, that focuses on how Pu Yi was molded to completely not fit in with the times and the needs of China. He is a virtual bank-vault of contradictions. What if you are the ...

Laserman

George Bartenieff, Shirl Bernheim

Hens Tooth Video Movies, 1996

An interesting, overlooked little sci-fi comedy/drama.
A movie that couldn't be defined in any one category. The title character, scientist Arthur Weiss is a Chinese/Jewish laser specialist pressured by gangsters to use his laser technology for crime. Little action to speak of, but the strange dynamics between Weiss, his ...

Temptation of a Monk

Joan Chen, Hsing-kuo Wu

Fox Lorber, 1997

The Temptation of the Monk
"Temptation of a Monk" is one title in my prized collections, along with "Brazil", "Das Boot", "Fisher King", and "Wallace and Grommet"... The movie takes us on a transformational journey with the protagonist General. Though he commands the fate of hundreds of ...

On Deadly Ground

Todd Beadle, Chief Irvin Brink

Warner Home Video, 1995

Steven Seagal Rules
I love watching all Steven Seagal movies as they make me laugh more than anything. The more bloated he gets, the funnier the movie. This is a good movie to watch anyway, so give it a try.

Deadlock (1991)

Rutger Hauer, Mimi Rogers

Starz / Anchor Bay, 1997

The whole cast is excellent.
A science fiction movie that is different. A very good cast (Rutger Hauer, Joan Chen, Mimi Rogers, James Remar). A few twists that add to the suspense. Very well done.

the Inn of the Sixth Happiness

Ingrid Bergman, Curd Jürgens

Fox Home Entertainment, 1994

Inn of the Sixth Happiness
Based on a true story this is one of Ingrid Bergmans best and it seems least shown movies.

The Last Emperor - Director's Cut

John Lone, Joan Chen

Live / Artisan, 1999

The Twilight of the Middle Kingdom
"The Last Emperor" tells the amazing true story of Pu Yi,the Middle Kingdom's last emperor. From its gripping opening sequence in which the young Pu Yi is torn from his mother's arms to his life as a nobody in the gray blandness of Communist China, it is a powerful ...

Tai-Pan

Bryan Brown, Joan Chen

Video Treasures, 1996

Slick but watchable
Fans of Clavel will want to watch this if only to satisfy an appetite for his work, however compromised. From Sho-gun to Noble House to Tai-Pan to King Rat, these books are some of the most entertaining adventure stories around. The Shogun DVD series, widely regarded ...

Inn of Sixth Happiness

Ingrid Bergman, Curd Jürgens

20th Century Fox, 2003

Inn of the Sixth Happiness
Based on a true story this is one of Ingrid Bergmans best and it seems least shown movies.

Blood of Heroes

Rutger Hauer, Delroy Lindo

Hbo Home Video, 1995

The Blood of Heroes
Yes, I give it a top rating. If you are a Rutger Hauer fan this is a must see. If you are a Mad Max genre fan this movie out does Mad Max. Low budget fits the genre and the setting is oh-so-real because of it. The cast is perfect- and I do mean perfect. When the movie ...
