You know the word deadline and Wong Kar-Wai weren't meant to be put in the same sentence, but it's good to know that the wheels are finally in motion. As it's been widely announced before, we're dealing with another story about the legendary Wing Chun pioneer played by Donnie Yen in 葉問 (Ip Man) , but with Wong at the helm you know things will be a little different. 一代宗师...

Thought I'd goof around with a little b-day series. In case it's yours! Could be shortlived. Or maybe it'll go on forever. You never know. Hal Hartley , Paprika Steen and Charles Bronson Today's Birthdays, November 3rd ...some of them at any rate. For those who are prone to celebrating the lives of the filmic and famous. And if you aren't, you're not having enough fun. 1921 Charles Bronson had a Death...

" Chungking Express " aka "Chung Hing sam lam" aka 重慶森林 ( Kar Wai Wong , 1994) One of those little miracles that happen in a film-maker's career. Wong Kar-wai was making a historical epic that bogged down and to clear the cob-webs and stretch his film-making muscles made a quick, contained film that exceeded all expectations. " Chungking Express...

Two weeks ago Phil Hoad wrote his final riff on a theme of web morsels. Now, it's over to you, the Clip joint crew, to keep the groove going. This week, AJBee casts an admiring glance over cinema's most dangerous dames The term femme fatale seems to me to describe a really specific character in the history of cinema – someone in a postwar film noir with a long cigarette and even longer legs....

"Broken Sword" has broken his arm! It's practically all I've been thinking about today. Perhaps I should explain for those who haven't yet heard... Tony Leung Chiu-Wai was so injured while training for Wong Kar Wai's next picture, a biopic about Bruce Lee's mentor called The Grand Master (not to be confused with Ip Man starring Donnie Yen which is on the same topic). Apparently his arm must...

In the last (thus far -- since she never say that she had retired for good) film that she appeared in, Brigitte Lin Ching Hsia played a drug trafficker who is never seen without both a trenchcoat and a pair of sunglasses on her. When asked why, she muses about how changeable the weather is. And while those who live somewhere other than where Chungking Express was filmed may think that her answer is...

Rejoice Brigitte Lin fans! The Taiwanese actress who’s been retired since 1994 is set to make a comeback in Wong Kar-Wai’s The Great Master . As with the last year’s biopic Ip Man , this film is also about the martial arts master of Wing Chun and the mentor of Bruce Lee. The good news of the goddess’s return was cited from Yip Man’s son, Yip Chun but on what capacity of...

Looking for photos to use in an email interview, I sifted through some remaining photos of the Dubai Film Fest closing ceremony that I haven't uploaded in my earlier post . And I found a photo with Taiwanese filmmaker Chang Rong-Ji, who made the short film '天黑 The End Of The Tunnel', also in the same category as I was. His film is a mixture of fact and documentary, focusing on a real-life...

Heya, I've already returned to Tokyo for two nights, but still, I think, a little jet laggy. Even so, that didn't stop me from immediately conducting audition sessions for my new film yesterday morning, and later today! (I'm such a workaholic!) I'll post the photos from my last day at the Dubai Film Fest. But I'll still be posting many Dubai-related stuff in the next few days, like the numerous films...

Reviewed by Joel Pearce Quote: "If you're going to pick up Chungking Express , the Blu-Ray disc is the way to go. It has a sharpness, grainy look, black level detail, and color separation that's impossible on DVD."
