Quentin is currently producing three stand-up comedy specials, three for Comedy Dynamics.

Did we mention that it's also a much-needed comedy? Because that's what we can expect when Quentin Lee (White Frog, The People I've Slept With, Comedy InvAsian) and Adi Tantimedh's ("The Ravi PI" series from Simon & Schuster) pilot for Comisery streams on the Asian American Movies' Facebook page as well as at the pilot's[...]

Adi Tantimedh writes: Inhuman Condition is another interesting Canadian webseries from the producer of Carmilla It's an allegory about a psychiatrist whose patients are court-mandated because they have powers that make them dangerous, and her job is to assess them and make sure they're not going to be a danger to themselves or others Tori Higginson,[...]

Adi Tantimedh writes, On Monday, Ten Years got its North American premiere at the New York Asian Film Festival A soft Science Fiction anthology movie featuring five shorts that explore Hong Kong's fears of what might happen under Mainland Chinese rule, it has been condemned by the Chinese government as a mental "virus", was a hit[...]

Adi Tantimedh writes, I'd been looking forward to a movie of J.G Ballard's High Rise for a long time It had been passed from one filmmaker to another for decades, ever since it was first published in the 1970s Finally, it's been made by Ben Wheatley, the first director to adapt Ballard who's actually British for[...]

Hardcore Henry is a hoot. The first action movie shot entirely from the first person, it’s a cheap, crazy, throw-everything-and-the-kitchen-sink-at

Adi Tantimedh writes, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2: Sword of Destiny is the sequel nobody asked for, a sequel that doesn't need to exist, a sequel that's come way too late for anyone to really care. Ang Lee, who poured his love of the Wuxia genre into every frame, adapting one book from the multiple-volume epic by[...]

Tumanbay has its finale this week, ending on a cliffhanger in ways similar to how season one of Game of Thrones did. This is probably BBC Radio’s most

Adi Tantimedh writes, Jean-Luc Godard used to say that all you needed to make a movie was a girl and a gun Sooner or later, someone would take him up on that Frankly, I'm surprised more people haven't One overlooked little French movie that opened the week that Star Wars did was this, The Lady in[...]

Adi Tantimedh writes, Quentin Tarantino's The Hateful 8 is Reservoir Dogs reconfigured as a dystopian 70s Western and filtered through Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None It openly references the authentic snowbound setting of the Spaghetti Western The Great Silence, even including its downbeat and pessimistic tone.  It has Italian Horror-style levels of gore that[...]

Adi Tantimedh writes, While radio and audio dramas are a lost art in the US slowly being rediscovered by certain pockets of the podcast world, the BBC and Europe never really stopped producing them for the radio for nearly 100 years now John Dryden is the writer and producer of some of the most ambitious and[...]

Adi Tantimedh writes, The latest sequel to The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is out, and that's the other major publishing event this season after Go Set A Watchman, and like the latter novel, it's not a clear-cut good thing as the publishers would like you to believe. In The Girl in the Spider's Web, journalist Mikael[...]
