The Ginger Snaps Trilogy (18) |Home Ents Review
 This arch, feminist werewolf horror trilogy was much lauded when it first came out. The first 2 films hold up pretty well in this collector’s edition treatment from Second Sight Films.

Beach of the War Gods (15) | Home Ents Review
 This interesting Taiwanese epic mixes King Hu wuxia dynamics with Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai to good effect: the extended, climactic fight scene is powerful enough to bring on ASMR delicious shivers in Mr Vampire.

The Flash  (12) |Close-Up Film Review
 It was 45 years ago when Christopher Reeves as Superman first hit the screen. And today’s audiences are now fully versed in the world of comic book superhero characters. Every so often though a new one comes along and even though The Flash has appeared in one film, he is a new one to me.

Rich and Famous/ Tragic Hero (18) |Home Ents Review
 These epic Triad action thrillers are excellent: gritty and violent but featuring a nice assortment of characters, who are all – at times at least – objects of our sympathy and empathy.
