Cold War (2012): Conspiratorial Genre

This star-jammed film is a remarkable production in 2012 with decent performance by all actors. As an action drama genre film, it successfully delivers a compelling story about executive-level rivalry in police department. Still, it loses to Infernal Affairs in this genre. Cold War (2012) (DVD) (Hong Kong Version) Product Title: Cold War (2012) (DVD) […]

Due West: Our Sex Journey (2012): Misleading Murakami

With the popular Internet novel Tungkun Forest as adapted screenplay, this ambitious film follows original story closely, such as those Murakami style narrations, which will be favoured by hardcore fans. Nevertheless, I have to say it failed to turn a popular fiction to motion pictures, where a solid filming and directing skill is required, like […]

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 […]

Google Is Evil, But Lovely

Whenever, Google seems to know everything you wanna know. That’s not true. It just means, what you search on Google is not an unique subject in the Internet world. Google just offers existing information for exchange, and it never creates any. Thus it should not be treated as God, only a nice goddess, who leads […]
