    SPIDER-NOIR: The New York Times calls it a washout, and adds DOA. It's much better than that. A lovingly created caricature of film noir that's mesmerizing in its carefully created look (Dutch angles aplenty) and snappy dialogue. It's heartfelt and fun, the last thing from DOA.

    Disney's Snow White live-action film is set to hit theaters soon, but it's very clear that there's a lot wrong with the project. It's been bombarded with bad press from day one, with star Rachel Zegler being the main target of blame for the project imploding before Disney's eyes. But why is it DOA?

    Fun Fact: The movie was directed by Corey Yuen, a legendary martial arts film director and choreographer (He's known for choreographing a lot of stunt and fights in many Jet Li movies). DOA was sadly the last movie he ever directed.

    Crank 2 is one of the only American movies that comes close to capturing the insanity of a Story of Ricky or Tetsuo the Iron Man. You know that wild first ten minutes of Miike’s DOA before the film slows waaaayyy down? That’s this entire movie.

    That's a hard one to take. I've said for years that DoA is one of my favourite fighting game series, because if you take away the "lol boobs" factor its easy countering system was designed to make you feel like a complete martial arts movie badass. As we say at VGC, God rest him❤️

    Most fun I had watching a movie in May was the remake of DOA, in which Dennis Quaid has 24 hours to solve his own murder at Murder University. I'd seen it before but not since 1988; remembered who the killer was, which turned out not to be an impediment to enjoying it.

The sound design is so over the top and campy, and the fact that they revel in being a video game adaptation adds to the charm.
