The other day I watched the 2007 version of Halloween, directed by Rob Zombie. It wasn’t bad.
I’m a huge John Carpenter fan, and I like Rob Zombie’s music and films.
The movie is pretty generic, and has strengths and flaws.
But that’s not my point.

You/they are wrong.
From a recent email:
“Could you please spread the word to your musician friends that the SCMP actually does have a we...Read more
Derek Yee directed this sequel to his earlier film Double Tap.

I’d seen the third Ip Man film last Thursday, but Saturday I got a call from Sidney Chan, father of my goddaughter.
He invited me to watch the film again on Sunday night. He was disappointed to hear that I had already seen it, but I told him I’d gladly see it again. I don’t get to see Sidney and Angie very often, and so I always take the chances I get.

The Gang of Film ventured to SARS Ground Zero yesterday, to the Amoy Gardens housing estate.**
Not out of any commemorative reflex, but to take part in another disastrous offense against humanity.

**We see movies so you don’t have to.
