Wuxia movies in the golden day of HK cinema were my favorite genre, but the steady decline in quality and innovation has really seeped away all my excitement for any new offerings. I’m tentatively keeping my hopes in check for Director Tsui Hark‘s return to wuxia in his 3D offering Flying Swords of Dragon Gate, which isn’t a sequel to … Continue reading →
It’s official. The upcoming movie White Vengeance might actually wash away some of the bitter taste left in my mouth from the absurd history-mashing nonsense that was Red Cliff (which came with bonus bad acting!). WV is about the historically infamous Feast at Hao Gate which brought together two warring powers seeking to unite China, the Western Hegemon King Xiang … Continue reading →
I’m sorry for doubting you, oh casting gurus for The Hunger Games. The official trailer for the movie dropped today and I’ve already watched it too many times to count.

Wow, this movie must’ve been filmed in 10 days or something, because it felt like the cast of Ouran High School Host Club just wrapped it’s drama and started filming the movie, and already we have a first teaser trailer dropped.

Between filming her recent dramas, the always busy Janine Chang actually made an upcoming racing movie that is starting to ramp up promotions for it’s early December release.

Son Ye Jin and Lee Min Ki‘s romantic-horror-comedy movie Chilling Romance is premiering in December, just in time for the holiday season. The movie genuinely looks good in every way – mixing the horror dead people scares with a sweet romance plus Lee Min Ki playing a total scaredy cat. I love it! Son Ye Jin just shines on the … Continue reading →
I don’t thinks it’s possible for Jang Geun Seok to pick a fuglier look than what he rocked for the You’re My Pet VIP movie premiere. He even get bonus ugly points for how badly he managed to clash with co-star Kim Ha Neul, who will be winning no fashion awards herself. For two very good looking people, they sure … Continue reading →
