Two people connect because of a portal through time in the shape of a mailbox.

Awkward in various ways, but I can see the charm. Not recommended because The Lake House – (2006 movie) is vastly superior.

A blind woman travels to find a blind man, and becomes embroiled in an inn-town’s troubles.

Straightforward and wholesome; highly recommended.

A special forces undercover guy is sent as himself to rapid-infiltrate a group of bad guys to stop a terrorist plot, but he’s s nice guy deep down (or something).

Very watchable, and very French. If you know and like your French military/police type movies, you’ll like this.

Stuff and things.. it’s a shitty cross between an Indian and a Chinese pulp historical drama-fighting movie.

Hard pass guys. Trust me. This is not a sequel to Ong-Bak – The Thai Warrior – (2003 movie) and is not a real martial arts flick.

A poor village is robbed, and a young man sets out to retrieve the village’s most prized possession.

Quite good and holds up well. In context there were very few movies of this grit out at the time, and it really made waves.

Mercenaries mercenary, but not effectively, and survivors band together for revenge.

It’s a solid violence-filled thriller more in the American style than Indonesian, so it’s good but not great.

A guy is hunted by a past he has amnesia from.

A straightforward plot with similar actors playing the similar roles from other movies, making this blend into a multi-movie mood. Highly recommended.

I truly had no fucking clue what was going on most of the way through, it was just gritty insanity.

God fucking damn this is intense. Fuck!

The future world is screwed, and humans struggle to survive in a poisoned world filled with monstrous insects.

About as good as you’d expect for a Japanimated movie from 1984, which is damned good.

Although a boy discovers he can become invisible, he also discovers a secret history (and puberty).

Adorable from so many perspectives. Recommended!

  • In Italian it is Il ragazzo invisibile
