Medallion, The

A disposable, slapdash action comedy in which Jackie Chan plays a Hong Kong detective who comes across a mysterious artifact that grants him superhuman powers. The series
of bloopers over the end credits feel redundant – the movie is a screwup of its own.

Tropical Malady (2004)

Drama Rated NR

“Unusually sensitive, in the sense that every element seems to pulse with its own life force. . .”
