dangermousieWe went to Stanley today (2 hour verrrry slow but verrry fun bus ride) and walked about the market and the beach, and then came back and wandered around HK's markets.
But this isn't the post about that. I have been noticing the ads for the following 5 movies which tantalize me with potential for fun and frustrate me with their current lack of English subtitles:
Hot Summer Days: It seems like a Chinese Love Actually - 5 interconnected love stories. The ads for this movie are EVERYWHERE. Seriously - on sides of buses, playing on TV, in papers. So much so that I am beginning to think this is exerting subliminal pressure on me. One could have worse things to look at than Barbie Hsu and Nic Tse however. Because yes, that's right - my interest in this movie went from 'ehhhh' to 'must have now' once I learned that this movie has Barbie and Nic. Opposite each other. Playing an OTP. She is a biker. OMGMUSTHAVENOW. Angsty wuxia boy who fights with fans and Shan Cai, the most kickass heroine ever, playing an OTP? I didn't know this was my ideal casting until it happened. Oh, and it also stars someone named 'Angelababy.' LOL.
14 Blades: Any movie that has Donnie Yen, 'blades' in the title, evil eunuchs, and Wu Chun dressed as a pirate? Is OK by me. By "OK" I mean, I must have it.
True Legend: Just strted seeing trailers for it - period epic with fighting and beautiful ladies. Yes please.
Little Big Soldier: A period anti-war war epic with Jackie Chan wooooo.
All's Well That Ends Well 2010 It's a Lunar New Year comedy set in Ancient China and involving an Emperor and his advisors. It's top of box office here and if you think Hot Summer Days are everywhere, you ain't seen nothing yet - every subway stop had dozens and dozens and there are tie-ins with candy and just - I want.
