Corey Yuen is maybe the best martial arts choreographer ever. In this position he worked on the recent Jet Li movies (Lethal Weapon 4, Romeo must Die, Kiss of the Dragon). But the fights in his own movie are even better. He's the director of such classics as "Yes, Madam"(Cynthia Rothrock, Michelle Yeoh) and "Saviour of the Soul".

In "Ninja in the Dragons Den" there are lots of fights. In fact there is almost nonstop action. It's good old hand to hand (and feet to feet) combat here, no wired action. Also the comedy element works better here, than in most other HK movies. If you're a martial arts fan, this is a must see.

While there are quite a few nude scenes, I'd rather think of Camille 2000 as a Drama than an Eroticfilm. The sex scenes a pretty tame compared with modern films, but much more elegant. The whole film is made in a beautiful style. The settings and costumes have this wonderful 60ies look. And not only the women are attractive, also the men are goodlooking. The story about a naive young man coming to the jet set of Rome and falling in love with the wrong girl may be not exactly new but hardly I have seen it better and more gripping. The actors are not that charismatic, but fitted almost perfectly in their roles. Highly recommended. Rating: 9/10.

For Nunsploitation fans, this movie is a must. For all others: Don't bother to watch. Basicly it's a sex film with no plot. In her visions a mother superior is discussing with Mary Magdalene about sexual desire and her denial of it. She also tells us the confessions some nuns made to her, which are shown in several sex scenes. Unfortunately the nuns in these scenes have hardly any dialog and are just beautiful bodies without any character behind. The movie is sometimes close to porn, but neither really dark nor disturbing. On the positive side, the sex scenes are well made and the movie has some good visuals (like the opening credits), only the outdoor scenes have the quality of a made for TV film.

The sex scenes I give 8/10, the movie itself 5/10.
