Lethal Angels

Lethal Angels is an erotic thriller/action flick directed by Wai-Man Chen. It stars Tien Hsin(Woman Soup, The Duel) as a very attractive woman who joins a team of female assasins. She begins to question the groups motives when she is given a very difficult new assignment. I was really drawn into the story of this film, and enjoyed all the choreography of the action sequences. The characters are well written and likable...I did feel I was able to connect and sympathize with their plight. I enjoyed the cinematography and style of the director as well. I definitley suggest this film. I would give it a 7 out of 10.

Sex and Fury

Sex and Fury is an Asian Cinema "cult classic". It's part of "The Pinky Violence DVD Collection"
and stars Legendary actress Reiko Ike and Christina Lindberg(Most famous for playing "One Eye" in the fantastic film "Thriller: A Cruel Picture".
Reiko Ike plays a woman determined to get revenge on those who killed her father.
I popped this Dvd in the player, with child-like giddiness...expecting something that would absolutely thrill me, especially since it's been stated as being on of the movies that helped inspire Quentin Tarantino's "Kill Bill". I was a bit dissapointed, however. My main complaint comes in the sword play, which, except for the one exception where a character fights naked, falls flat on every other level. The choreography was unbelievable and uninteresting, and the plot let me down completely. I was unhappy how some of the characters were handled including Christina Linberg's character and her love interest. I felt all the actresses talents were a bit wasted...and the cinematography could and should have been brilliant, but also seemed to lack inspiration, as if the director Norifumi Suzuki was worried more about a pressing schedule than giving the film any true substance.
It's worth seeing, if only to see Christina Lindberg in another film. It's a shame it wasn't worthy of her, or Reiko Ike.
