We covered her outstanding film debut last month, and this month Impact chats with Jeeja, the petite powerhouse star of Chocolate to find out just what being kicked in the eye feels like...

Christmas comes early to the pages of Impact, as Andrez Bergen gives us the low-down on how they do Christmas in the land of the rising sun. Plus, he introduces us to the whimsical world of Earl & Fairy.

Quarantine
Another month, and another brilliant foreign film gets mulched by the insatiable Hollywood remake machine. Luckily, what comes out the other end is actually pretty good! We are pleased...

Transporter 3
Impact loves Jason Statham! (but not in a gay way...) This month, the bald Brit, bad-ass action man returns to The Transporter franchise with a bang. Impact takes a sneaky-peek at the upcoming movie.

Dogs of Chinatown
Our friends from �Frisco leap back into action as �The Stunt People� showcase all kinds of mental martial arts scenes with some stunning cinematography. Andrew Skeates reviews.

Seasonal Films
Impact looks back at the output of one of the seminal studios of the nineties. Seasonal were insrumental in bringing Eastern action to the West - oh yeah, and they introduced us to the indisputable talents of one Jean Claude Van Damme!
