As we pass the halfway point of the year I like to take stock of the new Asian films I have seen. This is as much to jog my memory and help separate the wheat from the chaff as it is to highlight some notable new releases that may have flown under the radar. As always in a round-up such as this, there may be films that played a festival or two in 2013, but which I didn't see until this year.

Now, Suriya has worked with high profile...

Good news for Mexico based fans of revenge and cannibal films! After being part of the Riviera Maya Film Festival back in March, Jeremy Saulnier's revenge thriller Blue Ruin is coming to Mexican cinemas, under the title Cenizas del Pasado (Ashes of the Past). Distribution company Amarok Films secured the rights and already posted online the trailer with Spanish subtitles, though a release date is yet to be confirmed. Twitch founder Todd Brown said that "Blue Ruin is a goddamned work of art and the best American indie in a year (2013) that featured a bunch of really good American indies."
