‘The Blood of Fu Manchu’ & ‘The Castle of Fu Manchu’ 4K Uhd Review (Blue Underground)

When you think of Hammer Horror – or horror in general – one of the first names that comes to mind is Christopher Lee. But Lee’s career stretched far beyond the genre. He starred in major franchises like The Lord of the Rings and Star Wars, cementing his place as not just a horror legend but a true film icon. Personally, I’ve loved his horror films for most of my life, with The Horror of Dracula standing as my favourite. Like fellow icon Boris Karloff, Lee also portrayed the villainous Fu Manchu. While Karloff played the role once, Lee took it on five times. Now, Blue Underground has released the

Casino Royale Has A Cameo From A Former James Bond Girl

There's an interesting parallel between 1997's "Batman & Robin" and 2002's "Die Another Day." The former almost killed off the Batman cinematic saga before it had even existed for more than a decade, while Pierce Brosnan's swan song as James Bond almost put an end to what had been, ever since 1962's "Dr. No," cinema's most enduring franchise. Then, in 2005, Batman got what became known as a "gritty reboot," with Christopher Nolan reinventing the iconic hero for his "Batman Begins" origin story. The following year, Bond would get the same treatment, with what remains the best Bond movie ever made: "Casino Royale." Both movies turned around flailing franchises, and both movies took a more grounded approach to their protagonist, ditching much of the traditions that had come to define both franchises in order to introduce something truly fresh. In 007's case, Daniel Craig gave us all a version

The 12 Best Movies To Watch If You Like Crazy Rich Asians

The box office record-breaking success of "Wicked" is once again proving the crowd-pleasing chops of Jon M. Chu, who had previously demonstrated them via the massive success of a certain swanky romantic comedy to which he was connected long before becoming its director. Based on the eponymous novel by Kevin Kwan, 2018's "Crazy Rich Asians" topped the box office in its release week and went on to gross over $239 million worldwide on a $30 million budget. It's safe to say that it's a movie with a lot of fans. Thankfully, there are several other films you can queue up if you count yourself as one of those fans. Whether you're drawn to the perfectly executed rom-com plotting, to the Asian American representation, to the themes of familial displacement and culture clash between North America and Asia, to the snarky sense of humor, or to the ritz and sumptuousness of the wedding
