Valentine Ever After Movie Reviews

Darling Valentine

The 2016 Countdown to Valentine’s Day films were mostly quite good, and of a more consistent standard of most of the succeeding years’ Countdown to Valentine’s Day batches. With the only major misfire being ‘Dater’s Handbook’, which for me was one of the worst Hallmark films from that year, and ‘Appetite for Love’ was slightly above mixed feelings. Also saw ‘Valentine Ever After’ for having seen Autumn Reeser and Damon Runyan in other things.

‘Valentine Ever After’ is mostly a winner. It isn’t great and has its flaws, but it also has a lot of very good things and among the better 2016 Countdown to Valentine’s Day films along with ‘All Things Valentine’ (though this has the more appealing, if admittedly more typical, premise. Much better than ‘Dater’s Handbook’ at any rate. If asked whether ‘Valentine Ever After’ is recommended, the answer is yes. 2016 was a very uneven year for Hallmark, and luckily this is one of the hits.

It has its issues. The story is patchy, the predictability and silliness at times getting too much while the final act is contrived with a too neat ending.

Also found Runyan out of his depth here surprisingly, here he looks unusually stiff and has very little personality, coming over as dull and over serious.

Can’t fault the rest of the rest, loved the perky charm and down to earth quality to Reeser’s performance in a role that plays to her strengths very well while Eric Johnson excels against type. Don’t usually associate him as a romantic lead, but he is very likeable and charming and has a sweet and natural chemistry with Reeser. Vanessa Matsui enjoys herself without overdoing it. The characters are engaging and easy to connect with, with the sole exception of Runyan’s who is an over serious bore and unattentive.

Furthermore, it pleases visually. It is beautifully photographed and can’t say anything bad about the scenery. The music at least fits and doesn’t feel as overbearing, over constant or repetitive as some Hallmark scores can be. The script is the right amount of light hearted and heart-warming, with some non-mushy serious moments and genuinely funny ones as well. The banter is playful but not overwritten or hostile. The story is rarely dull and it has a warm heart and light hearted charm.

Overall, very pleasant and well done if not anything that blows the mind. 7/10.

Enjoyable

There is a lot of humor in this Hallmark formulaic movie. What sets it apart are the supporting characters; I wanted more of them and less if the leads.

seemed unrealistic at first but funny and charming

The plot seemed a bit ridiculous at first but I just laughed it off and especially enjoyed the country music, dancing and cowboys. It was a little difficult to see Eric Johnson as someone other than Jack Hyde (Fifty Shades series) but I’m sure that’s just because I haven’t seen him in much else. I also really like Autumn Reeser, who always seems effortlessly charming and down-to-earth.

Riot in a Women’s Prison Storyline

Gorgeous young French tourist Martine gets arrested while on vacation in Italy. After being found guilty of a trumped-up drug possession charge, Martine finds herself incarcerated at a hellish women’s penitentiary where the inmates are subjected to mental and physical torture by the staff and fellow felons alike. Things are compounded in severity when a riot breaks out in the prison.—Woodyanders

Riot in a Women’s Prison Movie Reviews

A passable movie with great moments.

It seems a shame to describe any Women In Prison picture as “tedious”, but this Italian production just fails to be that interesting for its first half. It takes a while to get to any rioting that’s going to be done. Fortunately, along the way there are choice scenes that lovers of cinematic trash will adore. They just have to wade through a lot of talk to get to them. This wouldn’t be so bad if the movie weren’t so horribly dubbed, though: the dialogue is pretty hard to make out at times (not that aficionados of this sort of thing would really care about dialogue).

Performances are mostly adequate in this tale of French tourist Martine Fresienne (Martine Brochard), vacationing in Italy, who just happens to be present when cops bust a bunch of hippies. As it happens, some drugs are planted on Martine, so she’s busted with the rest of them and sent to prison – a typical enough prison for W.I.P. fare. Martine makes the acquaintance of Susan (Marilu Tolo), a loud, aggressive inmate who’s the kind of person who makes things happen.

If you’ve read this far, you’ll be pleased to know that the movie delivers what you could expect, including an extended shower scene. There’s plenty of bare female flesh to admire, always extremely important for the genre. The highlights of the movie include an inmate pleasuring herself in the shower, Susan doing the same in the yard in order to tease a guard, the supreme embarrassment of a hot young nun (Cristina Galbo), the strip tease performed by Isabelle (Isabelle De Valvert), and a rather poetically done lesbian sex scene. With things like this going on, it’s understandable that the viewers aren’t going to care a whole lot about the story. The standout among the actresses is striking brunette Tolo, who comes complete with a particularly bad dubbing job.

Running a mere 81 minutes, this obviously pretty obscure movie has been resurrected on DVD by the grindhouse collection started by Charles Bands’ Full Moon company. Completists will definitely want to give it a look.

Six out of 10.

Mean Girls.

After selling the 36 Steps (2006-also reviewed) DVD, I wanted to find a bonus title I could send to the buyer as a free gift. Digging into my pile of unwatched Italian flicks,I eyed a obscure WIP title,which left me in the mood for a riot.

View on the film:

Stripping the prisoners down in their sentencing, co-writer/(with Leila Buongiorno/Anthony La Penna and Aldo Semeraro) director Brunello Rondi (who wrote Fellini’s most famous works!) & cinematographer Gino Santini lay bare a nice and sleazy WIP atmosphere from the ladies ripping their clothes off in cat fights,and wonderfully bonkers dips into unintended (?) comedy (a noose for a dog!)

Kicking it all off in the prison, Rondi charges in with a Grindhouse rough and ready style in hand-held camera moves punching into the middle of the action, and rapid spinning camera moves rolling on the disorientating state of a riot.

Each coming from the school of hard knocks, the writers give each of the gals tasty coarsely cut dialogue, bringing out a ruthless bite to when the action starts. Entering the big house being found wrongly guilty, fit Martine Brochard gives a live wire turn as Fresienne, whose innocent state Brochard grinds down,by getting Fresienne caught up in a riot in a women’s prison.

Unexciting plot, two obligatory scenes

The premise of this movie is that a woman is falsely accused of dealing in drugs. She encounters a group of people doing drugs and when the police arrive, a stash is placed in her coat. Those drugs are discovered, and she is summarily sent to prison to await trial. It is a prison run by nuns and most of the movie depicts the lives of the women in their environment.

Much of the movie is predictable, with two of the obligatory scenes of such movies present. The first is the shower scene, where the women cavort like schoolgirls under the streams of water. They are having so much fun that the nun supervising them steps in to separate an overexuberant pair. The second obligatory scene is one that strongly hints of lesbian sexual activity.

As was expected, there were several scenes where the sole purpose seemed to be an excuse to include one or more bare female breasts. Other than that, the movie is quite dull, the acting is weak, storyline unremarkable and predictable. The falsely accused woman is somehow exonerated and apparently walks out of the prison a changed person. At least that is what is hinted, there is no definitive justification. It is a typical example of the women in prison genre that was popular drive-in fare for a time.

The Idea of You Movie Reviews

May-December for Mommy

Greetings again from the darkness. You’d be forgiven, and I ask for that same forgiveness, if a cringey look of pain comes across the face every time a new Rom-Com is announced. Most in this genre are filled with lame dialogue and absurd love connections. Cautious hope springs when writer-director Michael Showalter (THE BIG SICK, 2017) and co-writer Jennifer Westfeldt (FRIENDS WITH KIDS, 2017) adapt the 2017 novel by Robinne Lee. Mr. Showalter, especially, has proven his approach leans into sensitivity, rather than over-cooked romanticism.

Oscar winner Anne Hathaway stars as Solene, a recently divorced mother celebrating her 40th birthday. She owns an art gallery in ultra-hip Silver Lake, and has a close relationship with her teenage daughter Izzy (Ella Rubin). When her ex (Reid Scott) breaks yet another commitment, Solene agrees to take Solene and her friends to the Coachella Music Festival. The meet-cute occurs as Solene searches for a bathroom and ends up meeting Hayes Campbell (Nicholas Galitzine), a 24-year-old pop star who performs with a popular boy band called August Moon.

The two make goo-goo eyes at each other, and after Hayes sings a song just for Solene, a whirlwind romance begins … against all the good judgment she can muster. Great sandwiches, art purchases, and a pricey watch left behind all play a role in the development of this relationship. Soon, Solene is dropping Izzy at Summer Camp and hopping a private jet to join Hayes (a Harry Styles stand-in) for the European leg of August Moon’s tour. It’s all a bit predictable and expected, however Hathaway and Galitzine are strong enough to prevent the film from sinking into muck.

As you would guess, fame and celebrity are not an easy adjustment for a grounded single mom, no matter how much she enjoys the May-December benefits. Contrary to what we hear these days, going viral is not for everyone, and the complications are almost too much for Solene. To his credit, Hayes is not a typical twenty-something icon, and he works to figure out a relationship infinitely more complex than the nightly groupies that surround him and his bandmates.

Many will dwell on the age discrepancy between Solene and Hayes, but what elevates this one is the reality of the choices faced by parents – their own fun versus what’s best for their children. Being called Yoko 2.0 is a brilliant take by the writer, but it’s a painful moment for an good-hearted mom. Of course, some of the dialogue here does qualify as rom-com drivel, and the him vs her lipstick battles are distracting, but for the most part, the actors and Showalter keep us interested in the human aspects of a tangled web.

Begins streaming on Prime Video on May 2, 2024.

Surprisingly emotional and sexy

I saw this last night at the Atlanta Film Festival alongside a friend who is also in her 40s. We went into it calling it “the Harry Styles fanfiction movie” and knowing it was going to be a bit of a fantastical and sexy romp, but we both agreed at the end that we were surprised at how emotional we got watching it. I guess I shouldn’t actually be surprised at this knowing that Jennifer Westfeldt was one of the writers, since I’m a huge fan of how she portrays women and relationships. (Kissing Jessica Stein is one of my major cultural touchstone movies.) I’m also a big Michael Showalter fan, but had never really associated him with telling this kind of story before. He gave a Director Q&A after, and I really appreciated hearing him talk about the process of making this, especially with regards to not making Hayes or the idea of being in a boy band a “joke” or something to poke fun at.

The best part of this movie is the fact that it shows something we rarely see on screen: the idea of a woman in her 40s being found intriguing, sexy, and desirable, and the object of pursuit by a younger, attractive man. The way that it achieves this is nothing new to movies – love at first sight, Solene being the only woman he can think about, and that she stirred something in him that no one else can. This is a common mechanism in female fanastical romances (see also: Fifty Shades of Grey) because, well, it’s one of the biggest fantasies we all have, especially for heterosexual women. (Let’s hope that it doesn’t spawn an epidemic of middle-aged women “accidentally” breaking into band trailers at music festivals.) But it does, at its core, speak to a fantasy that anyone who wants to be loved has: that we will be seen for who we are, not for our familial or life situation, the wrinkles on our face, or the birthdate on our driver’s license.

The other unique thing that the movie portrays is the idea of men being emotionally vulnerable. The way that you see Hayes falling for Solene and expressing his feelings about her is not something you see very often with male leads. Again, this may be a bit of a heterosexual female fantasy, but I think it comes at a time when society is beginning to be more accepting and understanding of the need for men to be able to express their emotions. If you want to know why so many women love The Notebook (another fantastical romance), think about how you see Ryan Gosling’s character show just how emotionally attached he is to Rachel McAdams’s character. You don’t see this in that many movies, but when you do, there’s a very good chance that women love it.

The film also makes good points about the hypocrisy of society with how Hayes and Solene’s relationship is treated, how no one bats an eyelash when male celebrities date women 10, 20, even 50 years younger than they are (ahem, Robert De Niro and Al Pacino), but the idea of a woman dating a younger man is scandalous. This is a point made by Annie Mumolo, who I always love to see on screen, but who is regrettably underutilized here as the best friend character. There is definitely a feminist undercurrent to the movie, including some really cute lines made by Solene’s daughter, but it’s doesn’t hit you over the head with it.

Although there are some areas I would’ve liked to have been handled better, such as the scene where there’s tension with the other band members, overall it’s a sweet and emotional movie that gives us something I think all women would agree that we want: recognition that we are more than just our age.

The idea of you

I could not stop comparing it to the book/audio book!

The good stuff: Nicholas Galitzine sang beautifully, the music was awesome! Guard down and Closer were 2 of my favorites, although I wish there was a “7 minutes” or “S” , from the original story.

It was quite funny, especially because the book does not really have a romcom vibe, so that was a nice surprise.

And as everyone says, the chemistry between Hayes and Solene was there.

The ending was satisfying, hopeful

The not so good stuff: I’m not sure Anne was the best casting for Solene unfortunately, despite popular opinion.

There were changes ( of course as in any book to film adaptation) to the original story that took away from the original characters, and I felt it was unnecessary.

This did not need to be Rated R, it is nowhere near as steamy as the book, in terms of graphic sexuality or nudity.

Hyderabad Blues 2 Movie Reviews

A change from the usual Indian stuff

Just caught this movie on TV late last night. Despite not having seen the first Hyderabad Blues, I have to say that the film gave me a new vision of the social lives of contemporary middle-class Indians. The plot was quite tedious – focusing on one guy’s indiscretions with a work colleague and his fiancée’s subsequent soul searching over whether to take him back – and the characters were mostly a bunch of macho, unsympathetic yuppies, but the acting was on the whole quite natural, and the film didn’t glamourise the petty events of these people’s lives. It surprised me to see an Indian movie, made for Indian audiences, presented in a realistic way. Maybe this isn’t such an odd thing for an Indian viewer, but for someone whose main exposure has been to subtitled Bollywood musicals or sanitised Westernised productions (think ‘Monsoon Wedding’), it was quite novel to hear such casual swearing and vulgar talk from both men and women.

Go Watch it!

A movie with a reasonable presumption and a decent attempt at the conflicting demands of an Indian society on a married couple. The story roles out on Kukunoor’s reluctance to grow his family tree and Ashwini’s desire to do so. A major part of the movie, though has nothing to do with this subtext. It is the affair of a few minutes of Kukunoor with one of his employees. Ashwini the strong independent Indian woman that she is, she also tends to view the affair a man’s indulgence granted by a patriarchal society. She refuses to forgive Kukunoor, who is genuinely sorry for his lapse, and the story goes on and on with Kukunoor’s attempt to win her back.

The movie goes at an easy pace. Though, it is a little stretched out in the middle. The pairing of Ashwini with her friend and her friend’s husband with Kukunoor adds its enjoyable moments/conversations. The movie appeals to the people of the current generation in similar age/situation.

It is a definitely enjoyable. Go Watch it!

****CONTAINS SOME MINOR SPOILERS****

Many things are enjoyable: A lot of neat little incidents: The guy and his father at the marriage broker place going: ‘We are particular about the caste. It is okay if it is not the same sub-caste. you see we are …’ and the son adds ‘liberal’. That was hilarious and deep.

The opening scene with the loud speaker singing ‘Ma Shakthi Om Shakthi’ song in front of his house on a Sunday morning.

All the conversations between Kukunoor and his friend.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news…

… but this film does let you down like most “sequels” do… I came out wishing the makers of the film had not bothered at all with this!!

What made the former special was it’s originality, spontaneity and raw energy that appealed to almost everyone – mostly Indian techies like me in the US who could relate to lots of it! The sequel on the other hand just prods on, quite aimlessly for the most part, and never really builds the pace to keep your engrossed or care for the characters on screen!

However, there are moments that are genuinely funny – mostly involving Nagesh’s government employed buddy Sanjeev and his wife Seema – I am surprised I have not seen these 2 in more mainstream movies. Production quality though is below average and so is the acting; with Nagesh’s success with more superior work like “Teen Deewarein”, I was surprised with the “home movie” feel this film had.

That said, the few good moments don’t really hold the movie together or make it nearly as charming as the former. I surely would not have missed anything if I had decided to skip this one entirely 🙂

The Wedding March Storyline

Long divorced workaholic Olivia Pershing née Phillips, a Long Island stager, is getting remarried, to her pseudo business partner, equally workaholic Josh Johnson, a high end real estate agent. If they had their way, they would get married in a simple civil ceremony, however they are letting Olivia’s daughter, Grace Pershing, arrange a small weekend getaway wedding for them, no major questions asked on their end. Grace believes they are unromantic, epitomized by the fact that her mother desentimentalizes spaces for a living, hence the reason why Grace wants to arrange something special for them. Grace chooses to hold the festivities at the Willow Lake Inn, a lakefront Vermont country property, Julie Turner, on behalf of the Inn, making most of the arrangements locally. When the band that Grace chooses to perform at the ceremony cancels at the last minute, Julie even arranges for an alternate, namely her father, the Inn owner who has always had music in some form in his life, it which he does solely for his own pleasure now. The weekend starts off with a bang when Olivia arrives at the Inn to discover the owner is former pop star Mick Turner, her college sweetheart, they who were each other’s first love. Olivia performed in and wrote songs for his band at the time. Without Olivia, Mick and the band left when they got their first tour and a record deal, Mick and Olivia never having reconnected after that based solely on the circumstances of the time leading to a misunderstanding of the situation on both their parts, all this happening thirty years ago. Based on the way their relationship ended, their reunion is an uncomfortable one. One other person who will not be happy to see Mick is Olivia’s judgmental oft-married but currently single mother Nora Winters, who never thought Mick was devoted enough to Olivia, he focused too much on the music. Grace knew nothing of this past life of her mother’s, while Julie knew only of a woman her father dated in college. Recently widowed Mick, largely seen as the catch of the area of the middle aged set, has only recently felt ready to reenter the dating pool. Soon to be an empty nester and alone with only the memories, Mick is thinking about selling the Inn, which he has troubles telling Julie as it’s the only home she’s ever known. Grace, Julie and Duke, the Inn’s chef who was the band’s drummer, see a spark between Mick and Olivia, Duke who knew them as a couple. Although Grace likes Josh, she sees him more as a business partner than a husband for her mother. As such, Grace, Julie and Duke hope that the course of true love happens for Olivia and Mick to have a happily ever after, even if it’s thirty years later than when it should have.—Huggo

The Wedding March Movie Reviews

For whom the wedding bells toll

Part of me was not expecting all that much. Was not impressed at all with most of the 2016 June Weddings films, with the only previous above average one being ‘Wedding Bells’ (though ‘Stop the Wedding’ had its moments). ‘Ms Matched’ was especially bad and one of the worst 2016 Hallmark films. Still saw it anyway for Hallmark completest sake and also for the ever watchable Jack Wagner. It also sounded quite charming, the only premise of the June Weddings films that year that sounded appealing.

‘The Wedding March’ left me rather mixed. There are definitely good things, quite a lot of them actually with a couple of them being done better done than most Hallmark films, and it is above watchable. Of the 2016 June Weddings films, it is the second best by quite some way and the only other 2016 June Weddings film to be above average. Having said that, ‘The Wedding March’ also could have been quite a lot better though its flaws have been worse in other films of theirs.

Am going to start with the good things. Josie Bissett and Wagner are very charming leads and always engage, Wagner is especially good and loved how the film played to his strengths and got him to do what he is better known for. Emily Tennant brings a lot of heart to the film and the sister relationship is absolutely beautifully done, so sincere and relatable. The family relationships in general are very honestly and plausibly done and don’t feel forced or schmaltzy. There is some spark between Bissett and Wagner.

Did like the production values too, with the scenery being particularly eye catching. The music is very pleasant on the ears and fits within the film. The script flows well and doesn’t come over as cheesy or over-sentimental. The story is light hearted and heartfelt enough and the characters on the whole were ones connecting with.

It is though very formulaic and doesn’t do anything new really with very familiar territory, or at least on the romance angle. While there is chemistry there between Bissett and Wagner it could have been stronger and also more prominent within the plot rather than playing too much second fiddle to the family relationships. It is also slightly improbable with the age difference.

Furthermore, this reviewer absolutely agrees with everybody in regard to Bissett’s truly atrocious and blatantly obviously unreal wig, it seemed like an attempt to make her younger but actually aged her and made her look like too much of a china doll. Some of the dialogue is on the corny side and the ending is too neat and can be seen from some way off. While liking the characters on the whole, the ex boyfriend is annoying, uninteresting and adds nothing to the plot other than being a seemingly obligatory Hallmark plot device.

Overall, worth seeing and one of only two 2016 June Weddings film to be above average, though not a must. 6/10.

Happy story – terrible wig!

I liked the young women, liked the setting and the actors but that horrible wig distracted me in every scene. I kept expecting someone to rip it off so we could see real hair. It was the worst wig I’ve ever seen anywhere. What were you thinking, Hallmark, to do this to a very competent actor.

A real plus was the relationship of the two daughters; it made sense, they were charming and there was no fake getting upset with each other and having to resolve all that drama.

The sidekick chef was an added bonus as well; he was believable and his creations made me hungry.

Just couldn’t get over the wig – it spoiled a decent movie for me.

THAT WIG

I am here in 2021 watching the movie right now and I had to check online to see if anyone else noticed how BAD the wig on Josie’s head is. Sure enough… EVERYONE seems to have noticed it. I thought maybe she was sick and needed a wig for some reason. Not sure what that’s all about, but apart from that. It is the predictable feel good Hallmark movie. It all ends up great in the end. We need these movies once in a while. Especially when the worlds is not the safest place in these times.

Thank you Hallmark. 🙂

A masterpiece

I loved this movie, like all of his previous ones, there is a common dark atmosphere and a raw look into Russian society and mankind in general.

The actors are excelent, the script is brutal and honest, the writing is very good and it will make you think in the end.

It’s a movie about man, greed, despair, numbness, lost souls, what’s not to love.

A Russian version of « Aux armes, citoyens! »

The atmosphere is profoundly dark with a medieval exploitation of Russian workers in an outmoded factory in the suburbs of a small industrial town. Unless you are born with a silver spoon in your mouth and/or suffer from aggravated autism, you should be immediately in empathy with this bunch of no-hopers who rebel mainly because of a lack of choice against the oligarch who informs them, coldly and without any qualm, the impending closure of the factory. The continuation is a modern and military adaptation of Germinal (Émile Zola, 1885).

Moreover, as the society is profoundly changing, this story is probably a harbinger of manifold similarities in the real life, as the ravages of the French « gilets jaunes » which have been world-widely broadcasted.

Brutal. Cold.

Atmospheric, bleak. I really liked the beginning scene, as a russian citizen I quite felt that. Bykov does a great job at portraying good shots, I believe them. Brings the memories of watching “The prisoners” by Denis Villeneuve. Characters are good, almost everyone has a unique story and something in common – nothing to lose. Well, not exactly. Freezing metal, never ending night rain, sad reality which pursues the workers of the factory. Welcome to zavod, tovarishi.

Some scenes feel incomplete, obscure and break the dynamic. Several action moments are unpredictable and better than today’s Hollywood junk. The story itself is good, but not great, at least for me. For non russian viewers it will seem odd, probably. I didn’t get what Bykov had to say specifically. Maybe something about people’s egoistcal nature, two completely different figures fighting against each other ideologies, but are they really that different? Perhaps not.

Shaolin Intruders Movie Reviews

Creative martial arts

SHAOLIN INTRUDERS is another engaging and action-packed Shaw Brothers martial arts epic, once again influenced by the growth of special effects-fuelled blockbusters in Hollywood. Thus we get extra-outlandish fight sequences, with Shaolin monks contorting themselves into all kinds of wacky positions to fight and test our heroes. Chor Yuen veteran Derek Yee handles the hero role well, but his thunder is stolen by a Puckish turn from Jason Pai Paio as his partner in crime and the exemplary supporting cast, including Phillip Ko, Ku Feng, Lee Hoi Sang and Chan Shen. The plot is limited here, but the twists are satisfying and the action excels.

Good Movie

I liked this movie a lot… There’s not much I can say that hasn’t already been covered by Brian Camp. He covered everything, maybe more than you needed to know.

I thought it was great that he mentioned Lau Yuk-Pok (aka Liu Yu-Po, aka Liu Yu-Pu). He’s right, she wasn’t in a lot of films. For those who are searching for a little more info about her, i’ll input the best I know of.

She was born in Taiwan on May 3rd 1963. She joined Shaw Brothers at their invitation in the 80’s and played in “Winner Takes All”, “Rolls, Rolls, I Love You”, “Shaolin Prince”, “Shaolin Intruders”, “The Weird Man”, “Portrait in Crystal”, “Secret Service of the Imperial Court”, “New Tales of the Flying Fox”, “Butcher”, “Thunderclap” and “Qin Yong (aka A Terra-Cotta Warrior)”. She returned to Taiwan in 1985 after finishing “Qin Yong”, and started a career in TV drama. Later she married Chang Chien-Chung, who worked in an advertising agency, and eventually emigrated to the United States.

In 1991, they gave up their careers to become missionaries. In 2001, she became a writer and published two books about herself as a mother and a patient (I would assume “cancer patient” but cant find a definite answer). She died on May 11th 2009. There’s some commentary on the Celestial DVD edition of Shaolin Intruders about her.

Shaolin Intruders

Shaolin Intruders is a fairly decent Kung-Fu film, albeit it may have a bit more humor added to the mix, nonetheless, it is good entertainment.

The fight scenes at the Shaolin Temple are well choreographed and inventive. Two bumbling friends try to find out who is killing renowned house clan leaders, and it takes them to the Shaolin Temple. The only way they can gain access to the Shaolin students to identity their faces, since one of their female friends saw them on a stealing spree, is to get past Shaolin monks, who put up a vigorous defense.

In all, there’s some duplicity and scheming involved. It makes for decent action.
