Sad, really, how many people will read this. My reviews are the only blog entries that get any attention, and weirdly enough, the worst movies get the most views. I know it’s not a case of people actually recommending my review. It’s more th...Read more
The Chinachem Theatre in East TST is one of the last of the ‘old guard’; sitting in the cinema, its easy to imagine watching classic 1980s HK cinema on their screen.

Sunday I had no plans, no one called me, and I had little or nothing to do.
In other words, a usual Sunday.
A friend had loaned me some DVDs of Australian films, and I had been meaning to watch them. He gave me just the discs, so there were no back-cover blurbs or other info for me. I looked up the particulars on the net just because I’m that way. I avoided reading the plot synopses, and just tried to get a minimum grasp of the films, which in one case (to be detailed) was not...Read more
If we don't support the movies that deserve it, we get the movies that we deserve.
