Lost in Time

Wai-Man Chan, Cecilia Cheung

Tai Seng, 2004

a film about romance but also about life in Hong Kong
I saw this for the first time on a trans-Pacific flight back to the USA from Hong Kong. The film has a universal appeal because its themes--love lost, love found, and the redeeming power of love-- are universal. But as a native of Hong Kong who no longer lives there, ...

The Best of the Later Movies
You had to work to get here. This movie, with the g left off of Kong is hard to find. This movie is part of the Gods Must Be Crazy series, and it is the best of the later movies. In this movie N!xau is wandering around Hong Kong. Basically he is wondering where he ...

Import only Blu-Ray/Region All pressing. 2007's largest grossing film at the Hong Kong box office - the smash-hit Mad Detective - is one of the freshest and most satisfying films from that country in a decade.

So Close

Qi Shu, Wei Zhao

Sony Pictures, 2003

Fun Great Action and even a tear may fall
This movie is great. The ladies in it reall do kick butt and look good doing it. It is also a funny movie. The fight scenes are soo good you could watch them over and over. I would go so far as to say this is a much better movie then Charle's Angels 2 and equal to the ...

Rent it first! - before buying
This is a review for the blu-ray version of this Black Mask movie. I was really looking forward to this movie coming out on blu-ray and was very disappointed in it when I finally got the chance to watch it. I loved this movie when it came out on dvd with its "campy" ...

Three Evil Masters

Kuan Tai Chen, Tak Yuen

Ground Zero, 2002

Three Evil Masters - "A Sure Old School Kung Fu Classic"
Listen up all old school Kung Fu fans do not sleep on this one. This is surely in my top 5% of great all time Kung Fu flicks. Years ago, this was one of the flicks (on VHS then) that was least advertised and spoken about in my neighborhood. I just happen to pick it ...

Running Out of Time

Andy Lau, Ching Wan Lau

Tai Seng, 2001

An almost perfect Hong Kong movie
Running Out of Time is probably as close to a perfect film as you're ever likely to see out of Hong Kong. All the elements click: a terrific script (by French writers Julien Carbon and Laurent Courtiaud) that even manages to subvert the odd clich?, reliably imaginative ...

Beyond Hypothermia

Sang Woo Han, Ching Wan Lau

Dej (Ingram), 2004

Great Cinematography
First of all, the cinematography is spectacular. The film makers took great time and dedication with the action scenes, the cut shots and the still shots. The action scenes are fast paced and Chien-Lien does a wonderful job as a female assassin. She is in love with ...

C'est La Vie, Mon Cheri

Sylvia Chang, Andy Lau

Tai Seng, 2007

A remarkable love story
The movie is excellent, the only thing make me frustrated is the DVD video and sound quality, not that satisfied as I expected. Hope next new release will be better.
