Sorry about the goofy dubbing that mars Ms. Yeoh’s fine acting before the action starts, but if you hold on for a minute, you’ll see why I selected this scene. This is from “Twin Warriors,” also starring Jet Li and directed by the great fight choreographer Yuen Woo Ping. I’ve never seen this one for some [...]
For no other reason but that I can, I am devoting today’s blog posts to basking in the awesomeness that is Ms. Michelle Yeoh. In this scene from the magnificent “Wing Chun,” the amazing one protects some tofu. I like tofu.
Well I have to admit, I'm a little surprised by the results of last week's poll. Although Angelina Jolie has probably starred in the most high-profile female action roles over the past few years, I really didn't think she would top Milla Jovovich as the number 1 female action star currently working today. As it turns out, Film Junk readers voted Jolie #1 and Jovovich #2, although they weren't all...

...with these pictures? These are direct contemporaries of Ms. Moore, who are mostly all at least somewhat still in the public eye. BTW, the point here is not to suggest that any of these women look bad, quite the contrary. But to ask: Why do you suppose Moore looks like she could be any of their daughters ?

This was not a bad movie. No, really! I’m a sucker for psychological horror in spaaaaaaace and this was a prime example of that. It’s not a great movie, but it was... entertaining. This may have been because I wasn’t expecting a whole lot from it. The conceit behind Sunshine is ridiculous, of course. If you’re watching a movie for SCIENCE you should probably just… stop....
Award Central: Actress to receive star of the year kudo -- CineAsia will honor Chinese actress Zhou Xun with this year's star of the year kudo at its convention in Hong Kong Dec. 8-10.
I'm lagging behind a bit on reviewing some stuff I've come across recently, so I thought I might save a bit of time by doing a three part mini-review. When I was thinking about it, I realised that the film, book and album I'm about to review share a theme: death. I expect I've lost all three of my readers now.

The story is based on a classic figure from martial arts folklore - Beggar Su - the cast a blend of classic stars - Gordon Liu and Michelle Yeoh - and new school - Jay Chou and...
