- Film Reviews: Recent Korean cinema hasn't been short on movies that push the sexual envelope, but "Sweet Sex & Love," the first feature by former adult-movie director Bong man-dae, manages to come up with a few new wrinkles. Centered on a couple whose relationship is defined through sex, film sports committed perfs, focused direction and tight running time. |

- Film Reviews: "Hooked" tells the story of "the greatest basketball player to never make it into the NBA," Demetrius "Hook" Mitchell. Hook is currently slam dunking behind bars while his childhood pals celebrate double-digit years in the pros. Docu boasts amazing archival and present-day footage of the 5'9" phenom in action. Pic should fare well on cable nets. |

Foolproof (Oct 23 2003 00:58 GMT) - Film Reviews: "Foolproof" was touted as a flag-waver for the new approach to spending Canadian taxpayers' dollars -- to make money instead of art. Neither has resulted, really, from this formulaic caper. A swift pace and youthful orientation could help give this a quick theatrical spin Stateside before it makes off with the goods in those video vaults. |

- Film Reviews: Study of gay male hustlers in contemporary China reps the latest sexually explicit, way underground video feature from writer-director Cui Zi'en.

- Film Reviews: Cinecitta produced some extraordinary films under the Fascists, but the bumbling assortment of cut-outs portrayed in "The American Comrade" make the staff of the famed studio look like a bunch of Ed Wood stooges. Helmer-scripter Barbara Barni has cobbled together a work of staggering ineptitude. Pic sank with all hands locally. |

The Calling (Oct 23 2003 00:58 GMT) - Film Reviews: Painfully sincere yet hopelessly amateurish religious-themed drama that plays like the work of a born-again Ed Wood. Vidshot road pic looks ghastly in 35mm transfer. Pic doesn't stand a prayer in theatrical release, and will be hard-pressed to compete with similar but glossier Christian-skewing product in homevid market. |

- Film Reviews: The Legend Returns in "My Wife Is a Gangster 2" but not in the way most may expect. Auds primed for an all-out actionfest, following the 2001hit about a sap who unwittingly marries a tough femme crime boss, are likely to feel let down by this sequel.

- Film Reviews: With its emphasis on suicide and avant-garde theater, arty Korean drama "My Right to Ravage Myself" may have a future as a weapon of self-destruction. Jeon Soo-il's helming has improved on his previous effort, "Wind Echoing in My Being," but pic's intellectual homilies aren't going to sustain auds once the initial sex scenes are over. |

- Film Reviews: "Prisoner of Paradise" is an important and smoothly mounted meditation on moral choices within the entertainment biz -- and the consequences of industryites turning a blind eye to outside dangers.

- Film Reviews: Patrice Johnson's "Kings County" taps into a stream of raw, powerful DV imagery and edits it to a frantic pulse. A day in the life of drug-dealing teens and their boss consists of non-stop aggressive confrontations. Black-themed cutting-edge cable venues may overlook the one-note stridency of the thesping and paper-thinness of the plot. |

- Film Reviews: Noblesse oblige creates problems for royal matrimony in "Eternity," an opulent but dull period pic set in the Malla kingdom of 10th century India.

- Film Reviews: Combination of class and kitsch, docu is a reverent, sometimes moving look at the last 25 years of film pioneer's life.

TV production is wholesome tube fare. |

- Film Reviews: "Burning Dreams" captures a unique moment in East-West relations as it records the accomplishments and aspirations of self-taught dance instructor Liang Yi, who fancies himself the Gene Kelly of the Orient.
