Kung Fu, two words, Kickass or Fuckup; Grandmaster, one word, Gorgeous! Aesthetics of kung fu presents the magnificent golden republic of China past, with fascinating lights and mesmerising words.

Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons (2013): Odyssey Fail

Our respected director Stephen Chow forgot his enormous successes in past twenty years primarily benefit from the sarcastic life philosophy for small potatoes in films, and his amazing exaggerating acting skills.

The retro stylish bounty hunter story by screenwriter Fung Chih-Chiang is quite creative. Nevertheless, this film really has a big potential which is just failed […]
