Herman Yau is one of my favorite Hong Kong directors.
His versatility is as impressive as his body of work; he can do comedy, social commentary, and extreme violence.
He’s one of a very few directors whose work I will watch simply because it’s his work.
He can manage to make a movie better than it should be, and usually does.Read more
10 years ago, Dante Lam gave us
Naked Ambition, a story about two young men who published a magazine -style guide to prostitutes in Hong Kong.
Nowadays you can just use the internet. From what I’ve read.
It was Category III and so is the sequel.
Naked Ambition/豪情is directed by Dante Lam, and was released in 2003.
There’s a good reason this movie is called Naked Ambition/豪情. There’s an ambitious amount of nakedness.
See?
So ther...Read more
It was nice to see a UFO logo on the big screen, and it even looks nice updated to the digital realm.
And if they keep making movies like Horseplay/盜馬記, I’ll be really happy!
An international thief wants to steal a priceless national treasure.

Let’s dispense with the obvious:
Hard Boiled/辣手神探 is the story of a pair of cops, played by Chow Yun Fat and Tony Leung, who take on a gunrunner played by Anthony Wong.
It’s also a 2-hour firefight occasionally interrupted by a smattering of ...Read more
God help us.Black Comedy/黑色喜劇 is
painfully unfunny.
Wilson Chin directed it. He directed all three Lan Kwai Fong movies. And Summer Love Love.
But I watched Black Comedy/黑色喜劇 anyway.
Wong Jing wrote and produced this movie, so I thought I might like it. Say what you will about him, he can write movi...Read more
It’s a dead end .The Skeleton Road/怪談電影-屍骸之路 is another entry in the ‘paranormal investigation’ genre that uses cinemas to show you everything they can’t put on TV, like violence and nudity.
And laughably transparent fakery. Well, you can probably show that on TV. I guess it’s in the movies as a bonus.
These ‘true paranormal’ f...Read more
Finally a movie whose Chinese title I can pronounce correctly!
PTU stands for Police Tactical Unit, a kind of flying squad designed to reinforce regular police officers on short notice.
That’s not particularly relevant to this movie, I just thought you might want to know.
The entire narrative of PTU takes place over the course of one night in K...Read more
In 2002 Andrew Lau Wai Keung brought us
Infernal Affairs/無間道, the story of a cop undercover in a gang and a gangster undercover in the police department.
I’m not familiar with the Monkey King story, but I also harbored no illusions that
The Monkey King/大鬧天宮 would make me any more familiar.
That’s not how high-context culture works.
If we don't support the movies that deserve it, we get the movies that we deserve.
