For those about to suck, I salute you.
It’s movies like this that make my life what it is.
If I swap my spleen with my colon, this movie becomes a giant box of Oat Bran.Read more
In a recent entry, I promised to share with you a photo whose content, or execution, if you will, was in fact more painful than the one I shared.
To recap:
This was painful. Not that I would let it show…
My knees are, according to more than one of my orthopedists, those of a 75 year old. So doing things l...Read more
Disclaimer: The director of this film is an alivenotdead.com artist. Also, I will most likely be sharing a stage with Fiona next month since she’s doing a concert with Dear Jane. So as I write this disclaimer the morning of the day I see the film, I a...Read more

Let’s face it, I’m none too fond of people in general.

I had passed up a chance to see Gallants/打擂台 at the HKIFF this spring. Unless I know that the festival version is going to more complete than the theatrical version (i.e. Shinjuku Incident‘s Category III premiere versus its IIB theatrical version), I prefer to watch films with their intended audience.
Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy premieres, but listening to ...Read more
Apologies: I went to the premiere of this film,then went and saw it again in the theatre the same week with the Gang of Film ( 電影人幫 ).
Then, like a jackass, I failed to review it.
But we all know that when I don’t review a movie, chances are it’s either very good or I didn’t s...Read more
