Chungking Express (Blu-ray) - Criterion Collection [Blu-ray]
Tony Leung, Takeshi Kaneshiro

Criterion Collection, 2008

The whiplash, double-pronged Chungking Express is one of the defining works of nineties cinema and the film that made Hong Kong filmmaker Wong Kar-wai an instant icon. Two heartsick Hong Kong cops (Takeshi Kaneshiro and Tony Leung), both jilted by ex-lovers, cross paths at the Midnight Express take-out restaurant stand, where the ethereal pixie ...

Jackie Chan's Police Story (Special Collector's Edition)

Maggie Cheung, Brigitte Lin

Dragon Dynasty, 2006

Whether you like Chan or not (and who doesn't really?)... you gotta see this!
At least once, although after seeing it... once is never enough! So this is the action/martial arts hybrid movie that has set the gold standard for all the others to come. Many have tried to duplicate it and few have rarely even come close(even it's sequels pale in ...

Mongol: The Rise of Genghis Khan (+ Digital Copy)

Zhang Jiong, Amadu Mamadakov

New Line Home Video, 2008

I can't vouch for the historical accuracy...
...but considering the minimal budget (20 million dollars American) and the genuine Mongolian (some areas so isolated that new roads had to be built to get the film crews there) locations filmed, this was a fantastic movie that was well-paced for an introduction to the ...

Shaolin Soccer

Cecilia Cheung, Lam Tze Chung

Stephen Chow is remarkable!
This is a hilarious and heart-warming tale of a group of downtrodden kung fu brothers who find new life in the world of football (soccer). It features the dynamic and hugely entertaining Stephen Chow, a man who makes his comrades in Western success Jackie Chan and Jet ...

In the Mood for Love - Criterion Collection

Maggie Cheung, Tony Leung Chiu-Wai

Criterion, 2002

The seductive quality of restraint
There are only three romance films I will view time and time again - Casablanca, Cinema Paradiso and In the Mood for Love. To dismiss the third as simply a pointless art house film is, in my opinion, undeserved because I regard it as a prime example of cinematic art ...

Kung Fu Hustle [Blu-ray]

Stephen Chow, Xiaogang Feng

Sony Pictures, 2006

Beyond entertaining.
This movie is fantastic. I could watch it once a week... maybe even more. The visuals, the story line (if you're a kung-fu enthusiast) the characters... everything is so fun.

Re-Cycle [Blu-ray]

Lau Siu-Ming, Lawrence Chou

Image Entertainment, 2008

Where the lost things go
Imagine a dimension where all things that have been discarded and abandoned go -- broken toys, unwanted babies, the forgotten elderly, even fictional characters who never made the cut. After a run of relatively disappointing movies, Danny and Oxide Pang return with ...

Iron Monkey

Rongguang Yu, Donnie Yen

My favorite Martial Arts film - better than Tiger/Dragon!
I buy a copy for every friend who says they like Martial Arts movies - and they are always blown away by this movie! This was the movie that set the stage for Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. If you liked Tiger/Dragon you will love Iron Monkey!

Jimmy Wang Yu and Chang Cheh in top form!
What a film! The One-Armed Swordsman is the story of a humble student who in a terrible "accident" loses his right arm and is then forced to make tough decissions on where his life will go from there. Jimmy Wang Yu is fantastic as our lead and uses incredibly great ...

Hard Boiled (Two-Disc Ultimate Edition)

Chow Yun-Fat, Kwan Hoi-Shan

Dragon Dynasty, 2007

In a Blaze of Glory..
As has been stated before, this was John Woo's last Hong Kong cinema work before going on to Hollywood. (In a way, I wish he'd stayed, his HK cinema flicks are masterpieces) This film rightfully takes it's place as one of the greatest action movie ever made. Woo tells ...
