Yup, still here.

Hello to our loyal visitors. Just a reminder that we're still here building Asian Cinema Drifter. It takes a long time to add every movie ever to our database, but we are working on it, so stick with us. A plethora of reviews will be coming soon after we finish. Feel free to contact us if you have any suggestions about the site!

Database assemble!

Sorry about the lack of reviews for today. We just started building our database so I have been busy adding tons of movie pages to the site. Eventually, we'll have a very solid set of all the Asian film listings you could want, so stay tuned.

Three more reviews

Greetings visitors, I've uploaded three more reviews today: Project A, Dachimawa Lee and The Wild Wild Rose. Looking at that side panel, I feel like I've been reviewing too many good movies and classics lately. As great as that is, I weirdly miss tearing into some poor unsuspecting film. Perhaps that will be soon, we'll see.

A couple classics

Two wu-xia classics: Come Drink with Me and Golden Swallow have both been reviewed. Yay.

Mhm.

So pat yourself on the back if you said Way of the Dragon. I applaud your ability to use wikipedia. Also, there is a review for Crush and Blush up. More reviews coming in on Wednesday.

Howdy.

So I've been adding reviews this week, just haven't been making an actual news post. But as you can see... Okinawa Rendez-vous, Swing Girls, Love and Pop, The Big Boss and Fist of Fury have all been added. I'm sure Bruce Lee fans can guess what's next. For everyone else, it's yet another exciting mystery to discuss for hours with your friends until my next update.

New review

A review for Park Chan-wook's latest "Thirst" has now just been posted. Expect new reviews at least 3 times a week as Asian Cinema Drifter gets into the swing of things, so tell all your friends!

New things..

Howdy all. If you are an old visitor of Asian Cinema Drifter, you probably will have noticed the change in reviews--in both content and quantity. Well, basically, ACD has done a bit of growing in the last years and writing styles have changed, so much to the point that there would be a weird discrepancy between the three year old writing and current ones. One of the main goals here is to maintain a certain level of consistency in our reviews because one reviewer can be wild and random enough, so why complicate it by throwing more into the mix? So, I've taken a really long way to tell you all that the reviews are being re-added to the site gradually, and the first batch of 100 are nearly done and available for your enjoyment. The next batch should be up in the coming months along with reviews for a slew of films from the New York Asian Film Festival, Park Chan-wook's long awaited 'Thirst' and only the Lee Byung-hun scenes in GI Joe. Also, look forward to new features being added, including our very own database of films, which we hope to be an Asian Film IMDB with hi-res media, cast/crew information and trailers galore. Get ready!
