212`movies
caught Confession of Pain during the last week of my holidays. it starred Tony Leung and Takashi Kaneshirou, Shu Qi. not all that nice. i thought it was like, it didnt require much acting on the part of Tony. which was such as waste. i watched it because of him! lol. anyway, but i think its rare that we see him act as a baddie. you see, even in Infernal Affairs, he was an undercover cop. so its not exactly bad. in here, hmm, he is bad. but well, its cause he wanted to exact revenge on those who killed his whole family. and he died in the end. awwww...
watched One Last Dance last friday. starring Francis Ng, Ti Leung, Vivian Hsu. again, it wasnt quite good. Francis' acting was rather stoned i think. and this show didnt require much acting skills also. haha. the sequence of the whole show was also a bit confusing. i mean, i understand they are doing a flashback kinda thingy. and they want us to do a bit of thinking/deciphering maybe. but in the end the whole effect was that most of us were confused. okay, maybe cause we missed the starting. so we have no idea wthell was TarTar? lols. yea, this show has Singaporean actors, and its fully filmed locally. ooh, the S'porean actors spoke Cantonese as well you know. but still, its dubbed into Chinese. the storyline is quite like duhh also. the killer (Francis) goes on a killing spree just because those ppl killed and raped the woman he liked (Vivian). and it really has quite many vulgarities spilled. but i dont think that was really necessary on the whole.
watched Mob Sister last sat night. it wasnt too bad. hahaha. Simon Yam, Anthony Wong, Alex Fong, Eric Tseng(?), Karen Lin. gang clashings, internal fights. always the case. when they are not fighting against enemies, they are fighting internally. hurr, sad but pathetic truth. LMAO.
what's happened to Hong Kong's movie industry? seems like the quality of its films are dropping in standard. wheres my gangster/mafia/mob/bloody/fightings genres of movies? and i still think that the only ones who can really act are the older batch like Simon Yam, Tony Leung, Anthony Wong, Ekin Cheng, Andy Lau, Jacky Cheung, Nick Cheung, Gallen Luo! all those ppl. no one else has the charisma to command the attention of the entire audience. and give life to the show or the character. seriously, HK movie is dying? hell, no pls. i cant survive with my doses of HK films. HA-HA!
and i haven watched DEATHNOTE 2: THE LAST NAME yet(!!!) shiats, pls. dont close screening yet. not just yet.
