Last night at the Silent Movie Theatre they showed Story of Ricky. They showed the trailer for it a couple weeks back and I decided I was definitely going to have to return to see this rarely-screened Hong Kong kung fu movie from 1991. Having seen it, I have… Continue reading
Last thing I ought to be is a drop in the ocean-bucket of Dark Knight pontifications, but this is a character close to my heart, so what the hell, here's my un-review: Mostly, I totally loved it. There were a lot of great moments and when I say great I mean… Continue reading
