Raise the Red Lantern (MGM World Films)

Li Gong, Caifei He

MGM (Video & DVD), 2007

Review, Raise the Red Lantern
I work in a public high school, where this was shown in a high school history class as part of a cultural literacy program of China in the early 1900's. This was a very compelling video, and led to excellent class discussions. Strongly recommended.

Memoirs of a Geisha (Widescreen Two-Disc Special Edition)

Ziyi Zhang, Suzuka Ohgo

Sony Pictures, 2006

Great Movie
100th time watching the movie but this was my first time watching it in Hi Def and it's that much better.

Action Starter Pack (Miami Vice / End of Days / U-571) [Blu-ray]
Colin Farrell, Jamie Foxx

Universal Studios, 2008

Miami Vice (2006) (Unrated) [Blu-ray]

Colin Farrell, Jamie Foxx

Universal Studios, 2008

I'm a Mann Fann - and Likely Biased :)
I can still recall my youthful evenings watching television at home and my parents settling in to watch what appeared to be a too-cool-for-an-eight-year-old-kid-to-watch-show, Miami Vice. The television series ran for five seasons on NBC, from 1984-1989. But the action ...

Curse of the Golden Flower [Blu-ray]

Chow Yun Fat, Gong Li

Sony Pictures, 2007

Stunning and subtle
I found this movie to be one of the most visually stunning epics I have ever seen. The meticulous research that went into creating a lavish set and historically accurate costuming down to the last bead and stitch, including the multiple layers of dress, most of which ...

2046

Chen Chang, Maggie Cheung

Sony Pictures, 2005

Excellent foreign film.
I bought this movie mainly because I'm a big fan of Ziyi Zhang. She just jumps off the screen in this movie. I think this is probably her best work, Memoirs of a Geisha aside.

To Live

Gong Li, Niu Ben

MGM (Video & DVD), 2003

Zhang Yimou and Gong Li Creat Another Masterpiece
Zhang Yimou is one of the greatest directors of the past decade. Add to this China's greatest film actress Gong Li. The two always combine to make great films and this is their masterpiece. Gong Li and Ge You star as husband and wife who are very successful ...

Shanghai Triad

Li Gong, Baotian Li

Sony Pictures, 2000

A majuscule film and probably the most relevant of that year!
A country bumpkin cousin in the 1930s, is called to Shanghai to wait on the mobster's girlfriend. And we suspect, a very hazardous love affair will emerge inside this violent underworld of power, corruption and falseness, where nothing lasts forever. One of the ...
