If you saw the pictures from the HK premiere on admin bear's blog a few days ago, you already know we were lucky enough to be invited by Zhang Lanxin to see her new movie "CZ12" (十二生肖), aka "Chinese Zodiac".Read more
I saw this film at the closing night screening of Screen Singapore 2012. It stars Singapore actor Aniu and Hong Kong actresses Elanne Kwong and Kara Hui.
I didn't get to see the original "Wedding Diary" til I was on my way home to HK on the plane, but since I watched this first I'll review it first.
Keat and Xin (Aniu and Elann...Read more
I should have posted this earlier! Three days ago I was lucky enough to attend the World Premiere for the new film "The Last Tycoon" starring Chow Yun-Fat, Huang Xiaoming, Francis Ng and Sammo Hung. Directed by HK Film Legend Wong Jing and produced by Andrew Lau (of Infernal Affairs fame).
Its basically a gangster drama set in old Shanghai (~19...Read more
Last night I had the chance to check out Sting live in concert at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center. His "Back to Bass" Tour was making a stop in town and I was lucky enough to get my hands on a ticket.
He's playing the Bass... hence the title of the tour! :-P
I can't say I am the biggest Sting fan in the world.... I haven't bought any of his...Read more

Supporting cast includes Chin Ka-Lok, Charlie Yeung, Gordon Lam and Aarif Lee.... AND on top of all that there's an ensemble cast of familiar fac...Read more

Just got home from watching "Tai Chi Hero", aka the sequel to "Tai Chi Zero", that you'll recall I reviewed here just three weeks ago. That's because these two films were uniquely released over less than 1 month period.
Last weekend my friend Nat and I went up to Shenzhen. I used to go almost every weekend but with all my travels the last year I go much less often lately.
The main reason I wanted to go was to check out if they were selling any iPhone 5 cases and accessories, and the main reason Nat wanted to go was to look and see what kind of bikes were on sale over there. (because we've been going biking so much, he's thinking about getting his own...)
First stop was a bike shop off of Hubei Ro...Read more
I just watched "Tai Chi Zero" the first release from "Diversion Pictures", directed by Stephen Fung and starring Yuan Xiaochao, Angelababy, Tony Leung and featuring supporting roles by Wu Di and Huihui Xu.
They bill this as a 'Steam Punk kungfu' film... and i...Read more
I've been pretty bad in keeping up with my blogs about my July trip to the US! In addition to visiting DC, I also took a short side trip to New York. My first trip in a good 11 or 12 years...
Now I can see the post-Giuliani wonderland that Times Square has turned into...
