Samurai Avenger: The Blind Wolf
Kurando Mitsutake 2009 | Feature, Grindhouse, Late Night, Mature Audiences
Makes no bones about what it is, and delivers. Well done. Still tired of blind swordsmen.

Relies too heavily on its special effects. Entirely too confusing to give props to the plot or even elicit one tear.

Hansel and Gretel
Phil-sung Yim 2007 | Creepy Fairytale, Feature, Featured, Korean
Hmmm...I'm torn on this one. It suffers from the same thing Crouching Tiger suffers from though. Ecellent visuals, cool story, totally detracting and unnecessary GIGANTIC flash-back in the middle of the climax. This completely bones the pacing and really shoots an otherwise cool and interesting movie in the foot.
