The Ghost Lovers (1974) 6 EDIT “A stylish and restrained ghost story that favors painterly elegance and tonal balance over cheap thrills, quietly asserting its identity in a genre often driven by sensationalism.” – Asian Movie Pulse Feb 22, 2026 Full Review Baka's Identity (2025) 6,5 EDIT “"Baka’s Identity" may not be a masterpiece, but it is an intriguing and engaging story presented with confidence and skill, and overall a work that remains entertaining from beginning to end. ” – Asian Movie Pulse Feb 22, 2026 Full Review Love Doesn't Matter to Me (2025) 6.5 EDIT “An intriguing, character driven drama that captures the spirit of contemporary Japanese cinema, even if its muted tension and clichéd finale slightly undermine its impact.” – Asian Movie Pulse Feb 22, 2026 Full Review Mother Bhumi (2025) 7 EDIT “Perhaps slightly less impactful than his previous efforts in terms of contextual layering, "Mother Bhumi" nevertheless remains a competent and engaging work that ultimately stands out due to its visual strength and the performances at its core. ” – Asian Movie Pulse Feb 22, 2026 Full Review Levitating (2026) 6.5 EDIT “"Levitating" is an uneven but interesting work that reflects the ongoing experimentation within contemporary Indonesian cinema” – Asian Movie Pulse Feb 15, 2026 Full Review Prison on Fire II (1991) 6.5 EDIT “"Prison on Fire 2" is definitely on a lower level than its predecessor. Nevertheless, it remains a work of quality, both as a social drama and as a genuine prison story, particularly through its action sequences. ” – Asian Movie Pulse Feb 15, 2026 Full Review Under Current (2025) 6 EDIT “"Under Current" occasionally feels somewhat dated, both in its commentary and in its overall narrative approach. Nevertheless, the star power, the performances, the cast, and the intriguing story more than compensate ” – Asian Movie Pulse Feb 15, 2026 Full Review Gamer Girls (2025) 6 EDIT “Although a more dramatic approach would have benefited both the characters and the commentary, "Gamer Girls" contains enough fun to entertain audiences during its 102 minutes” – Asian Movie Pulse Feb 15, 2026 Full Review Songs of Forgotten Trees (2025) 6.5 EDIT “A quiet, intimate Indian drama that boasts European-style cinematic sensitivity” – Asian Movie Pulse Feb 15, 2026 Full Review Battle in Outer Space (1960) 6 EDIT “Viewed through a modern lens, especially given today’s advanced special effects, "Battle in Outer Space" clearly shows its age. Yet that very dated quality gives it cult appeal, making it essential viewing for genre fans.” – Asian Movie Pulse Feb 15, 2026 Full Review Two Prosecutors (2025) 95% 8 EDIT “"Two Prosecutors" is a masterful film, both in terms of context and cinematic values, once more highlighting Lonznitsa’s prowess as both director and script writer. ” – Asian Movie Pulse Feb 15, 2026 Full Review Eko (2025) 7 EDIT “With its meticulous attention to detail, an intriguing narrative, and top notch audiovisual execution, the few shortcomings are easily overshadowed. ” – Asian Movie Pulse Feb 15, 2026 Full Review Fish, Fists and Ambergris (2025) 7 EDIT “"Fish, Fists and Ambergris" is an entertaining and energetic entry that will undoubtedly satisfy fans of action comedy. ” – Asian Movie Pulse Feb 15, 2026 Full Review Out (2002) 6 EDIT “Ultimately, despite its flaws and its significant departure from the source material, "Out" emerges as a competent and engaging work that conveys its thematic concerns with clarity while remaining entertaining for most of its running time. ” – Asian Movie Pulse Feb 15, 2026 Full Review Stranger Eyes (2024) 82% 7 EDIT “"Stranger Eyes" does leave the viewer with a sense of unfulfillment, but the intelligence of the director, the way he presents his comments, the cinematography and the acting make it a movie that definitely deserves a watch” – Asian Movie Pulse Jan 27, 2026 Full Review The Mannequin (2025) 68% 4 EDIT “Despite its strong moments, "Mannequin" ultimately struggles to justify itself, especially in a genre that has evolved beyond many of the clichés presented here” – Asian Movie Pulse Jan 25, 2026 Full Review Deepfaking Sam Altman (2025) 93% 7 EDIT “Deepfaking Sam Altman" is definitely a unique documentary that raises questions many people are pondering but rarely have the imagination, will, or resources to explore in such a way” – Asian Movie Pulse Jan 24, 2026 Full Review The Dutchman (2025) 60% 5.5 EDIT “Although a slightly more grounded narrative would have made "The Dutchman" more accomplished, the rest of its elements compensate” – Asian Movie Pulse Jan 24, 2026 Full Review Uppercut (2025) 10% 4.5 EDIT “In the end, "Uppercut" lands as a work just above average: elevated by its performances, chemistry, and audiovisual flair, but undermined by its clichés and uneven writing” – Asian Movie Pulse Jan 23, 2026 Full Review T-Bird at Ako (1982) 7 EDIT “Despite its evident issues, "T-Bird at Ako" emerges as a competent and often daring work, benefiting most from its narrative ambitions and strong performances. ” – Asian Movie Pulse Jan 11, 2026 Full Review Trapped (2025) 6 EDIT “"Trapped" is a visually striking and thematically ambitious first feature. While its pacing and character development get in the way of Sagara’s movie reaching its full potential, it is nevertheless an impressive calling card for its director. ” – Asian Movie Pulse Jan 11, 2026 Full Review Cross Fire (2000) 5 EDIT “Ultimately, "Crossfire" emerges as a mediocre effort that fails to do justice to Miyuki Miyabe’s novel, with its shortcomings clearly outweighing its merits. ” – Asian Movie Pulse Jan 11, 2026 Full Review The Tenant (2021) 6.5 EDIT “"The Tenant" is no "Malena", but is rather entertaining, well-shot, well directed and acted and manages to communicate its main comments adequately. ” – Asian Movie Pulse Jan 8, 2026 Full Review Bloody Muscle Body Builder in Hell (2014) 7 EDIT “Evidently, "Bloody Muscle Body Builder in Hell" is not for everyone. Fans of trash and splatter, however, will almost certainly adore it. ” – Asian Movie Pulse Jan 4, 2026 Full Review No Pictures With My Father (2025) 4.5 EDIT “Ultimately, while the intention behind "No Pictures With My Father" is clear and deserving of respect, the documentary remains a work so deeply personal that its appeal may be limited” – Asian Movie Pulse Jan 4, 2026 Full Review
