  Love in the time of Twilight
  
  Sigh it's out of print. But I still will try my luck and hunt for it. Heck when I spotted Ashes of time soundtrack, it was the only one left in stores!
  
  I am a Charlie Yeung fan and I cannot tell you how much I love watching her in films! HK films! And this is one delightful film from Tsui Hark, at his best then!
  
  
  
  I have no idea why Tsui Hark always cross dresses Charlie Yeung. She looks really cool all the same. Eric Kot here, talking to himself. Without him this film would have lost it's comedic moments.
  
  
  
  And we have Nicky Wu, former band member, former Ada Choi lover. All he does is act cute here, which he does really well. Most of the hard work is done by Charlie Yeung to make this film work. But he really is a handsome dude.
  
  
  
  Charlie Yeung's character Yanyan asking for her fate. I think any fortune teller scene will remind me of Jacob Cheung in Cest La Vie, Mon Cherie. It was him wasn't it? Helping Derek Yee make his personal film.
  
  
  
  
  And here's Charlie Yeung again.
  
  
  
  
  And again...
  
  
  
  
  Yanyan's father, another character that the film cannot do without! This film really wouldn't be possible if there weren't the support characters there were.
  
  
  
  and some more of Charlie Yeung, I did mention I was a fan, no?
  
  And from this movie, I can safely say...she erm..can't sing.
  
  Sorely missed, wacky Charlie Yeung in wacky roles.
