My Crazy Roommate (2013)
Pretty funny and obscure show
This show is so obscure it does not even have it's own Wikipedia page, it's a pretty standard situation comedy about two wildly different roommates living together. Nothing special here but it's entertaining mindless fun and sometimes that's all you really want, it's not on any streaming services but it is airing on the FAST channel Bounce XL and the episodes are all on Youtube if anyone is interested in checking it out. Gregg Wayans shows he has just as much talent as his older sibilings in the Wayans family and the female characters are pretty hot and funny so all in all not a bad time at all.
Zhi ji sha ren fan (1997)
Interesting movie, ignore the haters
Rolling my eyes at the moral guardians reviewing this film on here, clearly it's not for them. Yes it's a disturbing movie and yes it does ape Natural Born Killers but honestly I enjoyed this more then that overrated film(does not help that Stone has gone completely mental in recent years)it's definitely not for the faint of heart as it has animal cruelty and a callous treatment of a differently abled woman that would almost certainly never fly today but as someone with autism i wasn't personally offended by it. I find the mortal conflict at the center of the film quite fascinating and I dug some of the cool and stylish directing and the violence. Overall I recommend checking this film out if you can get a hold of it, it's seemingly quiet rare.
Tong tian pai dang (1988)
Decent enough martial-arts comedy
This film is quite rare as the VHS I found on Ebay cost me quite a bit and while the film is decent enough I don't think it exactly lives up to its rarity and asking price(Which is why I plan on uploading it online at some point so others won't have to track it down like I did). One issue with the tape I have is that the English subtitles are sometimes cut off at the edge of the screen(and I watched this on an HDTV so it's not my Television that's the issue)I still got the gist of what was being said but it was kind of annoying.
As for the film itself it's an OK martial-comedy about a nephew and his uncle trying to get rich via boxing while many hijinks ensue, there's some weird transvestite-related humor near the start that feels a bit out of place but other then that it has the kind of humor you'd expect from a Hong Kong action-comedy(my favorite bit was the one guy getting worn out by sex from his girlfriend "training" him for his fight). The boxing action is OK but even with the Hong-Kong flair there's only so much you can do to make boxing exciting(not a big fan of the sport myself)the final match is decent enough but for me the stand-out is the final brawl on the ship which rivals Jackie Chan films in terms of mayhem and stunts, unfortunately it's a bit long getting as before then aside from the boxing the film is fairly light on martial arts action and has some pacing issues.
Not a bad time as a whole, but as far as Tai Seng releases go there's definitely better ones out there like Interpol Connection and Spider Force.
Oklahoma Smugglers (1987)
rare but not worth the hassle of tracking down
After having rented Skullduggery at the video store back in the day and enjoying it for it's sheer lunacy i'd always wanted to see the directors other film and now that I finally have I must say I was underwhelmed as this film wasn't nearly as fun Skullduggery.
The first 30 minutes had way too many goofy and annoying sound effects(and the all-time worst movie theme song known to man, it wasn't even hilariously bad like the theme to "Cards of Death") but then suddenly after that the film changes gears and gets rid of the goofy sound effects(guess the filmmakers used up their wacky sound-effects budget, it was strange seeing an eye-poke with no sound effect to go along with it)and then the film becomes weirdly quiet during fight scenes(which are some of the most hilariously bad fights i've ever seen in a film as you can clearly see the actors pulling their punches and sometimes not even connecting) and there's some cringe-inducing mugging and overacting from the actors(who haven't done much else since unsurprisingly) I will say some of the filming locations were impressive and I was surprised at how many extras there were (this film apparently got a limited theatrical release back in the day)and the second half did have more funny-bad moments like I was hoping for, but as a whole this film proves that just because something is rare does not necessarily mean it's good.
Haunted Maze (2013)
not too bad
Had quite a bit of fun with this one, don't listen to the naysayers. Some nice kills and suspense.
Pinwheel (2017)
pretty damn good film
Screw the haters, this was a nice tense wince-inducing horror film.
