The First Trailer for Kar Wai Wong's THE GRANDMASTERS (Yut doi jung si)

sourceTwitch
When you sometimes talk to so called 'movie fans' about world cinema I just love the reaction they give, its all the same, the yawning expression, not interested, why? "Its Boring " "why?, its in subtitles!". What they meant there lazy and will only watch it when its either dubbed or be destroyed by a mediocre hollywood remake. I admit for a few years I was like that but now ive opened my eyes and I see some wonderfull movies so diverse in styles, decents stories,etc...
Today I clocked the new teaser trailer for Wong Kar Wai's The Grandmasters and going by what we see in this teaser trailer its fuel for those foreign movie haters. Okay that maybe a tad niave as this movie isnt even out in its homeland China yet (February 2011 according to Imdb), so it is expected to be in its native language only. When a Wong Kar Wai movie is coming out you tend to take notice of it, but he seems to let himself down a bit with his heavy handing of lengthy  post productions and endless reliance on orchastrated set pieces. If youlove calligraphy you like this trailer as its all in traditional style Chinese writing but dont expect any any looks at what the movie has to offer as theres none at the moment.
 Like the source of this post I agree dont be surprise if this appears at Cannes!

When I think of Johnnie To I think of high octaine, thrillers, with plenty of bullets and guts flying around but To directing a romance movie? Oh Yes Yes Yes as the Churchill talking dog would say DONT GO BREAKING MY HEART is a romance starring  Daniel Wu, Louis Koo and Yuanyuan Gao and below after the break is the movies first trailer and the movie will be out in China sometime in 2011.

Yen is a single girl from China working in an IT company in Hong Kong. Overwhelmed by the hustle and bustle of this sleepless city, she feels increasingly like a fish out of water. Just when she has almost succumbed to the inevitable prospect of being alone and lonely in this unfriendly place, her fate begins to turn in an unexpected way.
One day, she notices a handsome hunk in the office building across the street from hers trying to catch her attention with paper signs. She immediately picks up a scrap of paper and doodles back. A quirky romance ensues as she starts communicating with him by paper signs every day.


On the day when she finally has the chance to meet him in flesh and blood, however, she discovers to her consternation that this so-called romance has been an embarrassing mix-up on her part. The love notes this guy, Sean, has been writing are only meant for a sexy vixen working at the office above hers. He is oblivious to her existence, let alone their blossoming romance.


Just when Yen is ready to crawl back to her lonesome shell, her fate changes again. She is accosted by a beggar called Kevin in the park and is captivated by the sad expression on his face. They start talking and, before they know it, have become the best of friends. She learns that this starkly handsome beggar was an elite architect who ended up wandering the streets after losing his self. Yen starts helping him rebuild his confidence and get back on tracks.


Months pass. Sean finally gives up his life as a playboy and realizes Yen is the dream girl he would like to spend the rest of his life with. Meanwhile, the rebound Kevin is also planning to propose to Yen at the rooftop of his latest design that was inspired by his love for her.
Yen is no longer alone and lonely, but will she be able to find her true love?

Teaser Trailer For Chen Daming's WHAT WOMAN WANT Remake starring Andy Lau

sourceFilmsmash
Mel Gibson may not be the man of the moment due to his much publicised private life but his old movies attracting a lot of attention and one has been remade in asia. You maybe looking at his movie cv thinking it must be Lethal Weapon, Braveheart, Patriot or even Signs, nope! His foray into romcom in 2000 with Helen Hunt with WHAT WOMAN WANT!!!
Yes folks yes Mel Gibson's romcom has been remade in China with Chinese megastar Andy Lau reprising Gibson's role and Gon Li in Helen Hunt's part. Asia is going through a phase of remaking Hollywood movies with a Japanese version of Ghost already been made and a few others on the cards as well. The whole thing with these Hollywood  remakes is all down to a recent deal  which see several big named movies getting a asian makeover but I dont blame the asian film market for trying as hollywood has been for years destroying many fantastic asian/world  cinema movies with mediocre version.

So above is the first trailer and the movie will be released in China on February 14th, 2011.

Fred Wang (Andy Lau) is the top gun of the leading ad agency has his mind fixed on promotion to creative director. When the post was given to a new colleague Ellen, Fred is given an assignment to prove himself - pitch for a women's hygiene product. While brainstorming Fred met with an accident at home. He wakes up to discover his new gift - the ability to hear women's thoughts. The chauvinist suddenly becomes the expert on women psychology.

Trailer For the uncensored SEX AND ZEN 3D!!!

Source Twitch
All around the world it seems film studios want to deceive us of our hard earned cash by creating more and more movies as 3d movies, 99% are just poor with about 1% good/ promising. At first there would only be an exclusive number of movies be released in 3d but now its anything and I mean anything, even sex films!!!
The latest edition to the endless list is the new reworking of the classic Chinese movie SEX AND ZEN now named 3-D Sex and Zen: Extreme Ecstasy. Stephen Siu  the producer behind the original is also behind the new version with some sexy Japanese buxoms  Saori Hara and Reiko Suho leading the line for the female cast. The production does look ofdecent qaulity with some fun comedy  to give the movie a professional feel with a big remencisent to old 1970's sexploitation Japanese movies rather than cheap shoddy efforts.
If your a connisouer of Japanese adult movies (cough, cough) the movies have the genetailla pixelated but fear not here boys and girls its uncesenored! Enjoy!!
