Another Hong Kong Movie Page -- Welcome! All content © 1998-2005 Tim Youngs, Hong Kong Lost In Time (2003) - Derek Yee's drama about coming to terms with the past and moving forward has Cecilia Cheung and Lau Ching-wan in the leads. www.kowloonside.com   (79 words)

The Hong Kong International Film Festival, continued (finally) Johnnie To and Wai Ka-fai were represented by Dai Zhi Lao (Running on Karma) which had just won for Best Film and Best Actor (Andy Lau) at the Hong Kong Film Awards, but the big winner there and at the 2003 box office, The Twins Effect was not shown. For the first time in nine years there was no separate publication for the Hong Kong Panorama (2003–2004), although an introductory article was included in the main festival catalogue, written by Bono Lee. The film’s North American distributor, Miramax, should, of course, have released it around the time of the 2002 World Cup, but, for a company, which more and more thinks commercially rather than artistically, the decisions they make with their Asian films are unfathomable and inept, at best. www.horschamp.qc.ca /new_offscreen/hkiff.02-04.html   (79 words)

Beautiful Blood This essay attempts to identify those contemporary Hong Kong, Japanese and Korean female action films that continue to embody both the martial spirit and aggressively subversive stance of the “Girls With Guns” genre films made during the heyday of HK action cinema. For about ten years, from the mid-1980s until the mid-1990s, fans of Hong Kong action cinema were rewarded with a significant number of titles annually. In contemporary Korean action films, happy endings are often as elusive as the grasp on reality of the protagonists in “A Tale of Two Sisters” (2003). www.brns.com /blood/pages/blood1.html   (973 words)

LoveHKFilm.com For the record, the ten films are A) Hong Kong films or related to HK film, B) were released on DVD within the past 6 months, and C) are sitting around waiting for Kozo to watch them. Last year, Wong Ching-Po made Jiang Hu, a ballyhooed mob film that announced his appointment as a "Hong Kong Cinema director of the future." The label was spread about by everyone from Eric Tsang to Andy Lau to probably Wong Ching-Po himself, though it was actually fairly accurate. Nobody claimed they wanted it, but Hong Kong Cinema is giving it to us anyway: a sequel to the 2003 surprise hit Dragon Loaded. www.lovehkfilm.com   (973 words)

LoveHKFilm.com He was right, but what he did not predict was that Hong Kong Cinema would fall so precipitously. Actually, there were was another review scheduled for this week, but it got nixed because it's a Japanese film, and it would have meant the second straight update with only one (1) Hong Kong review and 4 or 5 reviews from Korea, Japan, Thailand, or some other Asian territory.

OUATIC.com: Your Guide to Hong Kong, Taiwanese, and Mainland Chinese Cinema Yang also extensively covers John Woo's "bullet-riddled mayhem," the popularity of Hong Kong sex films featuring Chinese mythology, and a battle against piracy that made Chan take to the streets in protest. OUATIC.com is the website for Once Upon a Time in China: A Guide to Hong Kong, Taiwanese, and Mainland Chinese Cinema, written by Jeff Yang, and due to be published by Atria Books/Simon & Schuster in December 2003. Action star Chang Cheh said in the 1960s that he wanted to put the spotlight on "real men who'd tear off their own legs and gleefully use them to beat their enemies to death," and this macho stance is reflected in Enter the Dragon and others in the Bruce Lee series. www.ouatic.com   (690 words)

Cinema Hong Kong: Kung Fu (2003) There is plenty that Cinema Hong Kong: Kung Fu doesn't cover, including the independent film scene, the late '70s boom of classics (apart from Lau Kar-leung's work), the horror sub-genre, chambara influences, international perspectives, or much of anything from roughly 1980 to 2000 such as the death of old school or the rise of wirework. Review: Cinema Hong Kong: Kung Fu is an hour-long, made-for-television documentary on the history of the kung fu movie that is co-produced by Celestial Pictures and Discovery Channel International where it was originally broadcast in select Pan-Asian countries. Lau's top female pupil and star Kara Hui is interviewed, as is Lau himself while on the set of his last traditional-style kung fu movie, Drunken Monkey (2003). www.kungfucinema.com /reviews/cinemahongkongkungfu.htm   (690 words)

27th Hong Kong International Film Festival 2003 - Episode 1 The title refers to loan sharks, who are portrayed as the scourge of most of Hong Kong, including the police. Once again, I'm going to break my festival report into sections, because I saw 26-odd films (and some were very odd indeed), and I'd dissolve into a wee melty thing if I tried to talk about all of them in one go. So this week is all about cops, and I'll start by bravely decrying my title: in Hong Kong it seems there are no good cops or bad cops, merely cops. www.heroic-cinema.com /festivals/hkiff2003_part_1.htm   (690 words)

October 2003 This time the main topics were how Hong Kong films could have their own distribution rights and an understanding of the approval standards. The Hong Kong Top Ten web site reported that Jackie has expressed his interest in increasing his shares in Golden Harvest, because according to Jackie it is one of the best distribution companies in the world. Whilst at the shooting, Jackie, denounced tabloid rumours, circulating Hong Kong, that he ran into lead actress, Charlie Yeung’s, van and changed his pants in front of her and her female assistant and that because of this she is now back in Singapore studying. jackiechannews.netfirms.com /october_2003.htm   (690 words)

Leslie Cheung tribute Even though Hong Kong's Golden Age was declared over, Leslie's last few roles seemed to point toward a future of brilliantly-explored characters in more intimate and unusual films. With those two films, Hong Kong's New Wave morphed into a mainstream that achieved worldwide recognition, and with Stanley Kwan's Rouge in 1988 Leslie proved that Hong Kong movies could be artful as well as entertaining. When film production numbers plummeted in post-handover Hong Kong, Leslie returned more to his other career as Asia's biggest pop star, but in the 21st century he explored a new direction in Law Chi-leung's Double Tap, throwing away his glamorous image to play an intense, gun-obsessed psychotic. www.lisamorton.com /leslietrib.html   (690 words)

Leslie Cheung tribute Exactly what prompted Leslie Cheung to take his own life was - according to the note found on his battered body on a street outside Hong Kong's Mandarin Oriental Hotel - the disease of depression, but Leslie left other clues as well, in other messages. With those two films, Hong Kong's New Wave morphed into a mainstream that achieved worldwide recognition, and with Stanley Kwan's Rouge in 1988 Leslie proved that Hong Kong movies could be artful as well as entertaining. In the 90s, Hong Kong seemed anxious to demonstrate that it could continue to provide both arthouse fare and entertainment, and once again Leslie led the way, starring for Wong Kar-wai in Days of Being Wild, Ashes of Time and Happy Together. www.lisamorton.com /leslietrib.html   (869 words)

MTV.com - Movies - Leslie Cheung Rouge was one of the most widely acclaimed films to come out of Hong Kong during the 1980s and helped to establish Cheung as a romantic leading man as well as an action star. The film's success enabled Cheung to branch out in his film work, and, in 1988, the same year he starred in the sequel to A Better Tomorrow, he played the opium-smoking playboy lead in Stanley Kwan's Rouge, a romantic ghost story that oscillates between the Hong Kong of the 1930s and that of 1987. Born in Hong Kong on September 12, 1956, Cheung was the youngest of ten children. www.mtv.com /movies/person/11321/bio.jhtml   (1091 words)

Chicago movie theaters, movie reviews, movie photos, movie news The current power of Wong's "Days of Being Wild," of course, is augmented by a different kind of nostalgia, including our views of these eventual Hong Kong filmmaking and acting greats in their incandescent youth—and especially our sight of the young Leslie Cheung, more than a decade before his suicide in 2003. "Days of Being Wild"—now clearly revealed as one of the peaks of Hong Kong filmmaking and a masterwork of contemporary cinema giant Wong—was a commercial and critical flop on its 1991 Hong Kong release and ignored or low-rated afterwards in America. Lost in a haze of voluptuous shadows and flickering lights on glowing flesh, the main characters of Wong Kar-Wai's neglected classic "Days of Being Wild" are five reckless youths in 1960 Hong Kong, enslaved by passion and illusion, along with an aging "mother" who knows some of the truth behind the lies. metromix.chicagotribune.com /movies/mmx-050112-movies-review-mw-days,0,3490904.story?coll=mmx-movies_leftutility   (763 words)

Glutter(.org): Glutter's Hong Kong Fan has become probably the best-known player in Hong Kong as a result of his performances against two European giants, Liverpool (July 2003) and Real Madrid (August 2003), the latter a second-half clean sheet and by holding China at bay for most of the World Cup qualifier in March 2004. The 43-year-old is a leading star in the world of Canto-pop, a hybrid of Chinese ballads and Western pop which fills the local charts, and also an award-winning actor who has starred in some of Hong Kong's most critically acclaimed films.

2046 Therefore, 2046, affected by the SARS outbreak into 2003 and the difficulty in scheduling the actors, all cinematic superstars in Hong Kong, Japan, China and Taiwan, developed from the initial premise, involving a Japanese hitman and a futuristic postman, into its present incarnation. Still, it is an effective showcase for Wong Kar Wai’s astounding abilities to evoke emotion from seemingly innocuous occurrences and his impeccable sense of style and a breath of fresh air in Chinese cinema amongst the more traditional martial-arts or modern-day films. 2046 is the eagerly-anticipated new movie from famed Hong Kong ‘new-wave’ director, Wong Kar Wai. www.0171.com /webs/020/showArticle.cfm?id=156   (8388 words)
