Ooooh, a leftover New Year film from TVB! With TVB actors!
I knew this film would suck.
How did I know?
It’s TVB.
It has Wong Cho Lam, the world’s most infuriating ...Read more
I saw Wuxia/武俠 in theatres back in early August (late July?).
It’s a cross between a martial arts film and CSI.
No, I am not joking.
Donnie Yen plays a man who may not be who he says he is.

I have been grossly out of touch of late. It’s a combination of schedule and personality. Add to that the inevitable accumulation of past obligations (i.e. sh*t piling up), and avoidance has become the better part of valor.
But I find myself wanting, for some odd reason/delusion, to share a few things with you that are germane.
Lately, I have been asking myself why I write reviews. I think at least in part that’s also because I have been asking myself why I watch movies.<...Read more
Okay, this is shameful. This review was saved as a draft on July 17. But I’ve been incredibly busy since I saw this film, so at least I have a good reason for the late review. And as you may have guessed, this film is not a must-see-in-cinema experience. It’s not even a must see.<...Read more
I’ve been too busy lately, and I need to get back to posting stuff. Which, if I ever have time, I will do.

Beach Spike/熱浪球愛戰 was laugh out loud funny. I roared with glee for the full 90 minutes.
Because it is such a monstrous train wreck that you cannot believe it ever saw the light of day. To delineate the flaws, gross ineptitude...Read more
Near where I live is a McDonalds and a KFC.
I don’t eat McDonalds, for a lot of reasons. There’s something gnawingly un-food-like about a lot of the things they serve, such that I always imagine some

If I go to www.alive.tom.com/seantierney (Alive Not Dead's China portal) without logging in, my review of isn't there. When I log in, it appears. I think I've been harmonized!!!What's funny is that my review of , which takes just as many swipes at the CCP, is intact. No accounting for taste, I guess.
Communism WOW!

Aaron Kwok looking like a Chinese Forrest Gump.
Sometimes my role (its not a job) as critic is more thankless than usual. Sometimes you are faced with a no-win situation.
To be honest, I actually think its that way...Read more
If we don't support the movies that deserve it, we get the movies that we deserve.
