Cherie. Utterly charming romantic comedy showcasing one of the most popular stars of the early eighties, Cherie Cheung. I've never really gotten the appeal too much, but here she radiantly beautiful and puts in a good performance as well, so consider... » MORE

Happenings, The. Viewers of Hong Kong Cinema in 1980 could be forgiven for thinking the world was coming to an end. The old societal customs no longer held, and the new was open to endless possibility in the imagination, but narrowed by... » MORE
He Lives by Night. Po-Chih Leong's film JUMPING ASH (1976, HK) is often mentioned as the first, the earliest example of Hong Kong's "New Wave." It is spoken of reverently, and it's a film I've long wanted to see. I still want to see... » MORE

Possessed II. Apparently David Lai (Director) and John Au (Screenwriter) were not quite finished riffing on POLTERGEIST and the ENTITY after making Possessed, so here's a sequel with more, and what the heck, this time with a dash of AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF... » MORE
Pure and the Evil, The. The story of two friends: May (Tai Liang-chun), aka "the pure", a good girl with rich parents and all the social advantages; and Rose (Chen Pei-hsi), aka "the evil", a girl with divorced parents who grew up taken care of... » MORE
