 video source from myspace  1995 The Blade - Tsui Hark, the cause célèbre of film studies students around the world, has dipped into many genres during his career. With The Blade (1995), he returns to the original 'macho cinema' of the late sixties, pioneered by director Chang Cheh and lead Jimmy Wang Yu. This work came in the most successful period of Hark's career during the early to mid nineties. After his role in the development of wire-fu with the Once Upon a Time in China series and his work on Swordsman (all starring Jet Li), Tsui Hark embarked on this ambitious remake with a flurry of high-octane action and his distinctive cinematic style. The original Chang Cheh film had decimated the Hong Kong box office, being the first film ever to break HK $1m, spawning two sequels and catapulting Jimmy Wang Yu into kung fu legend status. Tsui cast Chiu Man-Cheuk as the lead, reprising the role of the One Armed Swordsman. Chiu Man-Cheuk was a sensible choice for the lead. He had recently .. |

video source from videoweed 2012 The Last Supper(王的盛宴)is a 2012 Movie directed by Chuan Lu China. Spectacularly beautiful and achingly poetic, Lu Chuan’s The Last Supper describes the bloody birth of the Han dynasty in the 3rd century BCE with the skill of an expressionist painter and the curiosity of a historian. Like the director’s much-admired City of Life and Death (2009) about the Nanking Massacre, it takes a real interest in the period it depicts, pinpointing the gap between the historical record, revisionism, and what really happened. This all makes for a gripping Chinese epic of Shakespearean proportions that will entrance audiences well-disposed to the genre, starting from its Toronto premiere. Not for the distracted, the film has multiple characters who are quite hard to keep straight, though it is possible to do so with careful viewing. The first Han emperor is dying and the court is full of intrigue. Emperor Liu (City of Life and Death’s Ye Liu), an anc.. |

video source from videoweed February 14, 2008 Despite its decidedly generic cover and familiar premise, to pitch “Marriage Trap” as a simple romantic comedy would definitely be selling it short. Marking the debut of Mainland Chinese director Zhang Cheng, the writer of Ning Hao’s excellent “Crazy Stone”, the film is actually a surprisingly witty and cleverly plotted affair mixes in social commentary, farce and genuine emotion. “Crazy Stone” and “Two Stupid Eggs” star Guo Tao takes the lead as Guo, a likeable though rather shabby wedding planner everyman, who never seems to find the time for a romance of his own. That all changes when he meets and falls in love with Xiao Tao (actress Tao Hong, also in “Sky Lover” and who had originally been set to play Guo Tao’s wife in “Crazy Stone”), who unfortunately turns out to be a heartless schemer, dedicated to swindling men out of their money. Guo persists in pursuing her, ruining her carefully laid plans, and so she decides to come .. |

video source from youtube 2009 Although predictably (or, better, inevitably) replaced by Mao's legacy as the main melody-themed rush towards the 60th anniversary began in full force, for a good while the favorite piece of Chinese historiography of many a film director and TV producer was the pomp and circumstance of the Tang Dynasty, with leading lights like Li Shimin and Wu Zetian carrying the flag of such exciting and culturally abundant times's glorification. For instance, the honor of essaying Tang Taizong for a second time on CCTV-1's 2007 flagship historical drama, the fascinating 贞观长歌 (The Zhenguan Era), went to Tang Guoqiang, who made a career out of playing legendary figures like Mao Zedong - last in line in the exalted flag-waving douchebaggery of 建国大业 (The Founding of a Republic) - the Three Kingdoms' Zhuge Liang and Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing. An irresistible mix of John Wayne-like macho posturing, sparks of unyielding youth coloring his every move.. |
