Rating:  - Cubicle drone becomes a lycanthrope
I don't think it's fair to compare to a first feature film to accomplished director like Kar-Wai Wong who directs an award winning cast. It's an early film by emerging directors and it weaves a narrative thread akin to another young filmmaker Shinobu Yaguchi's films "Down the Drain" and "Adrenaline Drive." In these characters fall into a bizzare series of events driven by coincidence that test thier moral fiber.
In "Fangs" we add a layer of supernatural--but more accurately a magical ... Read More
Rating:  - Not To Be Missed
Sick of the humdrum world of Blockbuster entertainment, I stumbled across this rare gem on the recomendation of a friend. It was refreshing to discover a new, dynamic voice in the increasingly monotonous landscape of american cinema.
On what is obviously a modest budget, the filmmakers were able to tell an engaging and hip story, peopled with well-drawn, unconventional characters. There was dark subject matter, but it was off-set with just the right amount of macabre humor.
I'd recommend ... Read More
Rating: - shopping for fangs
I just saw this film and loved it. Granted, it's obviously low budget but I felt the filmmakers did a great job of playing and stretching with what they had. It's rare to see a film where it's playing with the film medium, trying to say something substantial. Even though I'm not Asian American, I can still really relate to the issues of alienation and identity. I'd definitely take films like this over Hollywood or pretentious indie films any day.
Rating:  - "much better" than Lee's "Drift"
I watched both Lee's SHOPPING FOR FANGS and the newest DRIFT. Well, I prefer the former. SHOPPING FOR FANGSS is much better than DRIFT. I saw DRIFT in the LGBT film festival in San Francisco, along with my campy kinky sistahs, and we were shocked to find how such a simple-minded film like DRIFT could be shown in San Francisco Festival. Comparatively, SHOPPING FOR FANGS is simplified (it can be more complex and deeper), while DRIFT is simply simple-minded (I cannot imagine who would be convinced by ... Read More
Rating:  - why not WHITE SINGLE WOMAN?
A friend recommends this Asian American film to me, but it turns out to be disappointing. Well, I know this is an indie movie, and I dont mind its technic weaknesses. However, since it is indie, it is supposed to be more exciting and vibrant. Well, maybe it is not easy for the indie makers. Anyway, this film (un)fortunately reminds me of a very (ir)relevant movie, WHITE SINGLE WOMAN (or SINGLE WHITE WOMAN), which features Bridget Fonda and Jennifer Jason Lee. Although WSW was made many years ago and ... Read More
