Welcome to 2007

Happy New Year's!

One of my new year's resolution was to create a blog to share my passion about Hong Kong movies in general. I love everything related to the the industry from actors, actresses, directors, producers, etc. I grew up watching Hong Kong movies and enjoy most of the films ever made in the late 80s, 90s, and Present. I watched every Stephen Chow, Jet Li movies, and Johnny To (To Kei-Fung) movies ever made, produced or directed . I was once a big fan of Tsui Hark. Wong Jing films provide some occassional laughters, but may be getting poor quality recently. This blog is just to share my feelings of the Hong Kong films in the past and present. Andy Lau and Tony Leung films are at its best now that most of the actors have gone to Hollywood Jackie Chan, Jet Li, and Chow Yun-Fat. I'm becoming a bigger fan of Donnie Yen, now that he's probably one of the last quality action director and actor in the Hong Kong Film industry.

As I type my first post here, I'll try to update you on the new releases that are coming out and also review some old films that I enjoy. Anything that I can think of related to the Hong Kong movies industry, good or bad. I'll try to keep my reviews trash talk free, but occassionally some of the movies I will have to trash it as you may know the quality of movies produced these days are not the same as the past. You probably know what I mean, but I hope this year will have more quality movies to talk about.

I actually have a pretty good Hong Kong movies collection in DVD format of course. I started to collect it when I got my first job at age 16 and been collecting it for 12 years now. I hope that my collection can continue to grow as most of the films are a "Rent it" status; instead of a "Buy It" status. Occassionally, I'll purchase a movie without ever reading a single review or watching it and of course those are the Stephen Chow, Jet Li and Johnny To (To Kei-Fung) films. I hope you find this blog insightful, but mostly it's just a passion of mines to express my opinions about a particular movie.
