Quicksand date with Lin Chi Ling from CineAsia

A big thumbs up to Steph from CineAsia for passing on two complimentary passes to Kevin Chu’s new film, The Treasure Hunter. CineAsia is a group dedicated to bringing blockbuster Asian films to the large cinemas in Australia. So that means no more waiting for DVDs or watching movies in small Chinatown theaters (though, I guess I do miss the stains on the floor).

Things are always better when they’re complimentary

The Treasure Hunter stars Jay Chou, Chiling Lin, Chen Dao Ming and Eric Tsang, this action adventure film opens in just two days in Australia.

I didn’t see it, but I was informed by my brother that the movie trailer was shown before Avatar 3D at Event Cinema. Kudos to the CineAsia team for getting such great support from Aussie commercial theatres! This amount of trailer publicity is on the level of Christopher Nolan’s Inception trailer.

See, it is true, Jesus is Buddha!

From the looks of it, it seems that Kevin Chu has swapped basket balls with whips and motorbikes. Someone sure has been watching recent Hollywood films!

Jay Chou shows that he can start fire by blowing anything.

I’ve always thought contemporary martial art films are making a comeback. That’s what I’ve been telling all my Hong Kong friends and fellow filmmakers. Remember that movie that had Andy Lau in it? No, not Street Fighter…

You better watch it, Jay Chou is on his way to whoop your ass.

So fingers crossed and hope this film does not sink like quicksand.

But either way, it’s got Jay Chou for the girls and Lin Chiling for the guys!

MMmmmmm…. Can’t caption, hands busy.

But yeah, what my girlfriend says is true… she’s definitely putting on a cute voice here.
