Review: For a Few Dollars More (Blu-ray)
"It’s immediately apparent that Sergio Leone was operating with a much larger budget this time around. He playfully takes his time setting up Lee Van Cleef’s character as well as Eastwood’s, not kicking the film into gear until a good 20-25 minutes in. But all the signature style evident in Fistful is all the more accentuated here."
Review: A Fistful of Dollars (Blu-ray)
"While the film is arguably straightforward and predictable, stylistically, it’s magnificent and beautiful to look at. Leone (here credited as Bob Robertson) was famous for his extreme close-ups and his refreshing take on realism in the genre. A Fistful of Dollars is remarkably violent and realistic in it’s depiction of the West as a vile, violent, and unjust universe."

Review: Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame
"Tsui Hark, a key figure (director and producer) from martial arts cinema of the 1980’s and 1990’s, is back with what’s being touted as his first certifiable hit in years, and one can see why, in this adventure epic that attempts to have something for everyone. But sometimes, having something for everyone results in numbing excessiveness."
