Fests 'o Plenty
Posted 08-18-10
Hong Kong has a film festival going right now, the Summer International Film Festival, but the Webmaster of this particular site is only seeing four films. He's saving himself for October's Hong Kong Asian Film Festival. In the meantime, he'll watch whatever he has lying around the house, such as that loose copy of Kung Fu Hip Hop 2. Review or not to review, that is the question.

Reviews this time: Kevin Ma looks at Feng Xiaogang's Aftershock while Kozo checks out The Jade and the Pearl, Triple Tap and The Fantastic Water Babes. With these three film reviews, LoveHKFilm.com is officially caught up with 2010 HK films, meaning our 7 week break didn't really slow us down at all. We should take breaks more often.

Next time: Aaron Kwok in City Under Siege.

We were gone. Now we're back.

Did you miss us? Probably not, but LoveHKFilm is back from its self-imposed 7 week hiatus. Previously we never took more than 3 weeks off, so why the extra delay? Two words: groin injury.

Anyway, we promise not to be gone so long this time, unless something really big happens like A) a wedding, B) a funeral, or C) a rumble versus Ekin Cheng. Of those three, at least one is quite possible.

Reviews this time: The Legend is Born - Ip Man, Flirting Scholar 2, Ocean Heaven and Break Up Club. Also, Calvin McMillin reviews the 1974 east-west mix The Stranger and the Gunfighter.

Next time: Triple Tap and The Fantastic Water Babes. Plus maybe something else.

Summer Line-Up
Posted 06-13-2010
World Cup? What World Cup? Hong Kong movies are coming fast and furious this summer. Between now and August, we're looking at:

June 16: Break-Up Club
June 24: The Legend is Born - Ip Man, Ocean Heaven
July 1: Triple Tap
July 8: La Comedie Humaine, Flirting Scholar 2
July 15: The Fantastic Water Babes
August 5: The Jade and the Pearl
August 12: City Under Siege
August 26: Curse of the Deserted, All About Love, The Stool Pigeon

And probably some other stuff will come out after that. Not bad for a previously-moribund industry.

Oh yeah, reviews this time of a bunch of Udine FEFF leftovers: La Comedie Humaine, Secret Reunion and The Actresses. Kevin Ma looks at the China blockbuster Go Lala Go! while Calvin McMillin reviews the TVB Drama E.U..
