72 Tenants Of Prosperity

Author: CCW  //  Category: Amusing/Musing, Asia Gossips, Entertainment, Movie Reviews

Genre: Comedy
Directed by Eric Tsang, Patrick Kong
Produced by Eric Tsang
Cast: Eric Tsang, Jacky Cheung, Anita Yuen, Bosco Wong,Stephy Tang, Linda Chung, Wong Cho Lam, Michael Tse, Charmaine Sheh, Lam Ka-Tung, Raymond Lam, Fala Chen, Justin Lo

Synopsis: (credit yesasia)
Past and present survival of the common man in the big city - ups and downs, laughters and tears…
In 1970s Hong Kong, rapacious landlords try to evict 72 tenants but sworn brothers Ha Kugn (Eric Tsang) and Shek Kin (Jacky Cheung) help the group of 72 defeat the landlord (Lam Ka Tung) and landlady (Charmaine Sheh) and coincidentally rescue Pinky (Anita Yuen) from a planned forced marriage. When both sworn brothers fall for Pinky and propose to her, she flips a coin “heads or tails” and Ha wins her hand in marriage.

The sworn brothers become sworn enemies and Shek’s hatred fuels intense rivalry against Ha in business dealings ranging from the manufacture of plastic flowers to the selling of stinky bean curd. Even after 40 years they continue to clash and in 2010 they are in keen competition selling electronics appliances in Sai Yeung Choi Street, Mongkok, the busiest street in the city and still home to the 72 tenants.

In fiercely competitive Sai Yeung Choi Street high rents force businessmen to use every means to survive, with electronics shops employing pseudo models in sales promotion campaigns and comic shops offering foot=massage services by Lolita, etc. These ploys are minor compared with the tactics of the landlord (mainland actor) who threatens to close down the shops unless his demands for triple rental are met. Amidst this strife and struggle the street is hit by acidattacks and in high spirits the 72 tenants unite and pledge to safeguard their home.

Against a background of fear and turmoil, with the old love triangle between Ha and Pinky and Shek still festering, the next generation of the Ha and Shek families embarks on their own heroic love affairs: mJ-style dancer Ha Junior (Bosco Wong) is fascinated by Shek’s daughter (Stephy Tang) who is a Japanese AV culture fan; Ha’s daughter (Linda Chung), a kung fu maiden, is pursued by Shek’s love-struck son (Wong Cho Lam), the smart shortie. Affairs of the heart yet to be resolved.

Synopsis (credit yesasia)
Another year, another All’s Well Ends Well! Last year’s All’s Well Ends Well 2009 became Hong Kong’s highest-grossing film of the year. Stars Louis Koo, Sandra Ng, and Ronald Cheng return for more blockbuster Lunar New Year hijinks in the costume comedy All’s Well Ends Well Too 2010. Co-directed by franchise creator Raymond Wong Pak Ming and Herman Yau, All’s Well Ends Well Too 2010 stages an old-school comedy of errors about mistaken identity and criss-crossed romance in ancient China. Also co-starring veteran actress Lee Heung Kam, Mainland actor Pan Yueming, and models Angelababy (Short of Love) and Lynn Xiong (Ip Man), the wholly enjoyable comedy balances its nonsensical humor and wacky characters with sensible direction, smart dialogue, and amusing action scenes including a hilarious Ip Man parody.

After years studying abroad, Princess Pearl (Angelababy) is returning to her home kingdom escorted by her lover, General Bing (Ronald Cheng). The traveling party gets ambushed on the road, and Pearl falls into the sea and loses her memory. She gets rescued by bankrupt merchant Million (Raymond Wong), who poses as her father and tries to marry her off to rich old maid Yau’s (Sandra Ng) nephew. Meanwhile, Million’s actual daughter Nightingale (Lynn Xiong) has been mistaken for the princess and sent to the palace. Emperor Ocean (Louis Koo) also thinks it’s time to find a suitor for his sister!

Format: DVD-RMVB

Review by hk-magazine.com:
This movie comes with two big gimmicks in some garage and awesome looking garage flooring . The first is director Wong Jing’s decision to hail this as his “first cult film.” It’s emblazoned all over the trailers but sadly makes little sense. He’s not blowing his own trumpet and predicting instant legendary status by saying the film is “cult” and it’s not about some freaky deaky religious sect. By describing it as “cult” Wong is drawing attention to the fact that “To Live and Die in Mongkok” is a departure from his usual commercial comedies. By “cult” he actually means alternative and serious. Someone direct him to dictionary.com please! The second gimmick is a super stellar cast made up of Hong Kong Film Award winners including Nick Cheung, Liu Kai-chi, Pau Hei-jing and Chan Lai-wan.

Thankfully these two gimmicks unite successfully to make a powerful film examining the pain and anguish of mental illness. The plot is neatly summarized by the movie title and follows a gangster called Crazy Fai who’s just been released from prison after serving 29 years for killing 20 people on a triad mission. He returns to his neighborhood in Mong Kok only to discover it has completely changed. As he revisits old haunts he is plagued by schizophrenic visions of his alter ego—his 17-year-old violent self. Within days of leaving prison he finds himself caught up in life-threatening trouble as two triad bosses fight for the top seat. His predicament gets worse when he defends a prostitute and her sister. In its examination of mental illness and prison-like psychological walls, the film slightly resembles Herman Hui’s “True Women for Sale,” which also looks at the most ignored underprivileged sectors of the community. Thankfully, in contrast, there aren’t dozens of long monologues about each character’s hardships. Instead, grim issues are mostly tackled via black humor. Perhaps the audiences won’t get the deeper meanings but at least they’ll laugh at the jokes.

With this award-winning cast Wong, would be hard pushed to do wrong. Pau Hei-jing shines as Crazy Fai’s mother and even manages to produce some tear-jerking moments, something not often seen in Wong Jing movies.

BodyGuards And Assassins

Author: CCW  //  Category: Amusing/Musing, Asia Gossips, Entertainment, Movie Reviews

bodyguards

Release Date: December 18, 2009

Starring: Donnie Yen, Leon Lai, Xueqi Wang, Tony Leung Ka Fai, Nicholas Tse

Genre: Action, Drama, History

Duration: 131 mins

Audio: Mandarin

Subtitles: Chinese Softsub

Format: DVD-AVI

File Size: 2 x 700MB

Synopsis:

“Bodyguards and Assassins” tells the story of a group of bodyguards protecting Sun Yat-sen (1866-1925) from assassins in 1905 Hong Kong.

After 10 years of tumultuous production history that included rainstorms, labor disputes, suicide, and two spells of depression, Teddy Chan’s Bodyguards and Assassins has finally arrived. Anticipation is high, as everything here seems to be screaming “quality”: a solid ensemble cast, an intriguing pseudo-historical gimmick, and even Peter Chan’s producer stamp of approval (this is the first film under his new Cinema Popular label). Given all the above, it may disappoint some to know that this isn’t the best movie of the year. However, it’s still an admirable attempt to create a Hollywood-scale Chinese-language blockbuster.

One can say Bodyguards is Hollywood-like in terms of scale – the film reportedly cost more than $150 million RMB to make, much of it going to building a scale replica of Hong Kong’s Central District circa 1906 – but it’s also Hollywood-like in terms of commercial calculations. The film has a simple historic background ripe for overseas consumption; multiple times, it didactically spells out its ideological self-importance; and it goes out of its way to give each of the 12 major characters – each fulfilling an archetype – at least one major dramatic moment. All the above is done to insure that the hour-plus long exposition in the first half (which breaks the tradition of classic Hong Kong action films, in which action must appear in intervals) will make the action-packed second half more than worth the wait.

Fortunately, the first half of exposition introduces enough involving characters and situations that it’s more than effective in getting audience emotionally involved in the story. In 1906 Hong Kong, democratic activist Chen Xiao-Bai (Tony Leung Ka-Fai) gets word that friend and revolutionary figure Sun Yat-Sen (Zhang Hanyu, in heavy make-up) will be visiting Hong Kong to meet with other activist leaders about overthrowing the Qing government. Chen’s propaganda newspaper is funded by politically indifferent businessman Li Yue-Tang (Wang Xueqi, the closest thing to a lead actor of the film), who is adamantly against his son Chung-Guang (Wang Bo-Chieh) joining Chen’s revolutionary movement.

With news of Sun’s impending trip reaching China, the Qing court sends out its best assassin Xiao-Guo (Hu Jun) to make sure the revolution leader sleeps with the fishes before he reaches the meeting. Xiao-Guo and his gang first wipe out a group of veteran soldiers, led by Fang Tian (Simon Yam), who were charged with protecting Sun, and then kidnap Chen. When Li decides to drop his indifference and keep his missing friend’s hope alive by taking up the mission, he realizes he’ll need a strong group of bodyguards to make sure Sun gets out of Hong Kong alive. That group includes Tian’s daughter Hung (pop star Li Yuchun), family rickshaw driver Ah Si (Nicholas Tse), street vendor/ex-Shaolin monk Stinky Tofu (NBA player Mengke Bateer), disgraced aristocrat-turned-beggar Prince Lau (Leon Lai), and policeman/gambling addict Chung-Yang (Donnie Yen), who was once a spy for the Chinese assassins. With the assassins surrounding Central ready to attack and the British-run police force refusing to interfere, will the group of ragtag misfits help Sun get out of the city alive? Which of them will survive the deadly attacks of the Qing court?

With very little action in the first half, the film’s four screenwriters (plus several more, who go uncredited) wisely take their time to set up the big climax. They not only create situations to bring these people together, they also flesh out the characters by giving each an agenda as they go into battle. Despite the overly didactic talk about the glory of the revolution (surprisingly, the word “democracy” gets thrown around a lot for a film essentially made for China) and obviously calculated emotions (the subplot with Ah Si’s marriage could easily have been scrapped), the filmmakers’ focus on characters makes the first half involving. With solid performances from the cast, especially Wang’s commanding businessman and Tse’s convincing simpleton (though Ah Si’s close relationship with Chung-Guang may be a little too close for comfort), Bodyguards and Assassins is a surprisingly engaging drama up to that point.

Then the big finale arrives. In nearly real-time, Chan connects multiple major action sequences together as one big hour-long finale. Every character gets to do their part, and it’s easy to get involved with their ultimate fates. However, Chan fails to impress visually with the action, opting for MTV-style close-ups and quick edits that intensify the pace without making the action coherent enough for the audience to see. Even with the presence of Donnie Yen, who volunteered to reshoot and choreograph several action scenes, the use of wire in his fight scenes takes the viewers out of the relatively realistic nature of the other action sequences. Donnie performs adequately, but even his presence can’t elevate the action. It’s exciting to finally see the set used to its fullest, and there are some exciting moments, but Chan overemphasizes the character drama, cutting the action scenes (especially Prince Lau’s one-against-many showdown) to serve the emotional tone of the story.

Theoretically, it’s fine to mix lots of slow-motion emoting and teary eyes with fragments of ass-kicking if its done in the name of the revolution. However, when Chan and his scriptwriters spend over half the film to build anticipation for a potentially action-packed second half, it’s a little disappointing when the action doesn’t deliver. On the other hand, with Chan leading an impressive technical team and a solid ensemble cast, Bodyguards and Assassins is as close to quality as it gets when it comes to big-budget Chinese blockbusters. While the story itself holds very little surprise, Chan’s emphasis on storytelling over kinetic action is truly surprising. The fact that it’s a more of an emotional drama than an action film may disappoint a foreign audience expecting Donnie to single-handedly wipe out the bad guys, but Bodyguards and Assassins is still well-calculated and solid commercial entertainment that will pack seats and earn box office in China and Hong Kong. After all the trouble they’ve gone through, the two Chans can now rest easily.

The Lovely Bones

Author: CCW  //  Category: Amusing/Musing, Entertainment, Hollywood Gossips, Movie Reviews, Useful Links

I was actually told by a friend that this was a good movie - so of course - i had to go look out for it.  I thought that since this is like a kidnap and murder movie - i might need sleeping pills the night i watch it - because i’m a wuss - yes! yes! i admit it.  But fear no more because i’ve watched the show - although it got some tense in some parts of the movie - it wasn’t scary at all. Not suitable for young kids - cause you don’t want to scare them - that they might be kidnapped and never return home.  But i thought the movie was a little flimsy .. if you know what i mean.  So dreamy most times - that doesn’t really serve it purpose. And why would Rachel Weisz leave the family to grief - when Susan Sarandon was a drunk in this show.  Makes no sense.  But overall, it’s not a bad movie - so if you want to watch the sneak preview or have the full synopsis… follow the birdie.

Midnight Taxi (2009)

Author: CCW  //  Category: Amusing/Musing, Asia Gossips, Entertainment, Movie Reviews

tax

It’s midnight, you’re tired, exhausted and you want to get home fast. You hail the fi rst taxi and get in, prompting an unseen driver on your home. But, you soon discover… it’s a ghost taxi.

What would you do? This is the question young director and screenwriter Zhang Jiangnan aims to pitch at his audiences this holiday season with his latest thriller Midnight Taxi.

“Everyone at some point in their lives has taken a taxi late at night, around midnight,” Zhang told the Global Times. “I think audiences will fi nd the premise of the movie simply and beautifully horrifying.” Midnight Taxi, Zhang’s fi rst outing as a director, hits screens today in Beijing, aiming to cash in on audiences looking for an escape for the upcoming holiday season. The movie’s plot revolves around taxi driver Xu Zi’s (Jordan Chan) spooky encounters with a ghost.

“Xu is a hard-working driver who hasn’t given up his dream of being a writer. He acts as a kind of detective, discovering the truth step by step. Jordan Chan did a wonderful job playing him,” said Zhang.

Unlike Japanese directors, known for over-using atmospheric and suspenseful music to build up a scary mood, Zhang believes that a scary story will always play a more important role in spooking moviegoers.

“Consider this, what would you do, if you were to fi nd out, that your girlfriend, who you’ve just spent an entire week with, has been dead the whole time?” Zhang asked. “Fear in horror fi lms comes from the mind, not from a sensory experience.”

The ending of Midnight Taxi is being kept a tightly held secret by Zhang and his crew.

When asked if he is a superstitious person, Zhang wouldn’t answer directly, instead saying that he “only knows that there are no ghosts in my movie.” This is not the fi rst time Zhang has been involved in the production of a made-in-China horror movie, what he calls a genre that is being sorely overlooked in the production of fi lms on the mainland.

“It’s a pity that a large share of the movie-making market in China is still unexplored. Thrillers and comedies are evenly matched in Hollywood, but in China things are di erent. Every year around New Year we see a lot of comedies but few thrillers,” said Zhang, who was born in the 80s. Zhang explained his reason for choosing a release date around the holiday season so he could avoid competition from other directors, duking it out at the box-office.

“To be honest, compared to all the new big-budget blockbusters that star tons of celebrities, our movie seems a little weak. But we have the advantage of young couples and white-collar workers coming out to see our movie that want to have the living stuffing scared out of them. Horror fi lms are a good way of letting loose of all the pressures that come from daily life,” said Zhang, joking that he hoped his low budget will become the next sleeper hit, in the same vein as Crazy Stone.

Zhang Yimou’s over-hyped and lackluster A Simple Noodle Story has already netted nearly 160 million yuan after nine days in Chinese theaters, the star-studded Body Guard and Assassins hit screens last Sunday and James Cameron’s blue movie Avatar is already out as well.

So while the odds stacked up against Midnight Taxi are nothing short of frightening, look for Zhang to make a name for himself if his scary taxi movie takes moviegoers for a ride.

Hear Me (2009)

hear_me

Director : Cheng Fen-Fen

Cast: Eddie Peng Yu-Yan, Ivy Chen Yi-Han, Michelle Chen Yan-Xi, Lin Mei-Shiu, Luo Be-An

A simple romance about a happy-go-lucky delivery boy who pursues a young deaf girl, director Cheng Fen-Fen’s Hear Me is pleasant and well performed, and understandably became a hit in its native territory of Taiwan. Cheng’s previous two features ranged from intriguing (Keeping Watch) to alarming (Finding Her), and Hear Me shares some of their flaws. For the most part, however, the film is an improvement if not an outright accomplishment by the promisingdirector. The cynical need not apply, but teens and even not-so-young adults should warm to this enjoyable littlle movie.

Synopsis:
Macau, officially the number one gambling Mecca anywhere in the world. Forget Las Vegas and its family-oriented approach, here in (until ten years ago) Portuguese-occupied China, it’s all about the casinos. Sure, they’ve got Cirque De Soleil and host hugely overpriced gigs from the likes of Linkin Park and Beyonce, but audiences tend to have their tickets bundled together with their hotel bill as part of a weekend package and would far rather be hitting the tables than watching spandex-clad Frenchmen lift each other.

POKER KING plays like a tourist ad for this gold leaf-smothered playground, where the casino floors are clean, every hotel room boasts a plunge pool and floor to ceiling windows, the cobbled streets exude romantic European quaintness and even the bottled water is free. Everyone is a winner in this version of Macau. Everyone, that is, except Jack Chang (Louis Koo).

Jack is heir to a powerful casino conglomerate, currently operating under the watchful eye of Uno Cheuk (Lau Ching Wan), gambling addict turned Chang Sr.’s business partner. When his father dies, Jack returns to Macau, but soon loses his share of the business to Uno in a poker game……*Credit James Marsh & lovehkfilm

John Travolta stars as Ryder, the criminal mastermind who, as leader of a highly-armed gang of four, threatens to execute the train’s passengers unless a large ransom is paid within one hour. As the tension mounts beneath his feet, Garber employs his vast knowledge of the subway system in a battle to outwit Ryder and save the hostages. But there’s one riddle Garber can’t solve: even if the thieves get the money, how can they possibly escape?

Synopsis: DreamWorks Animation presents a brand new holiday adventure starring everyone’s favorite Central Park zoosters. “Merry Madagascar” begins when Santa (Carl Reiner) and his sleigh unexpectedly crash land on the island, giving the jolly gentleman a case of amnesia. So it falls to Alex (Ben Stiller), Marty (Chris Rock), Melman (David Schwimmer), and Gloria (Jada Pinkett Smith) along with the ever-inventive Penguins to deliver the presents and save Christmas. And, it doesn’t hurt that Santa’s sleigh just might be able to make a little trip to New York City so they can finally return to their beloved home. But, during their appointed rounds, the four re-discover the magic of giving and that it’s ultimately more important than their own wish to return home. Throw in a long-lasting North Pole/South Pole rivalry between the Penguins and Santa’s Reindeer, magic flying dust and a King Julien-based holiday called (what else?) ‘Julianuary’ and “Merry Madagascar” serves up a comedic holiday story like no other!
