The economy is REAL (2009)

This is a video done as a school project by Natalie Duran aka ndtitanlady from youtube.
Natalie is one talented young lady and I am sure she will be doing big things in the future.

King of Comedy (1999)

King of Comedy is a very special and charming comedy/drama starring Stephen Chow, Karen Mok, and Cecilia Cheung. Chow is as cute and sweet as ever. Karen Mok stands out even though she is third lead as a Hong Kong movie star. Ms. Mok also did the music. I didn't know much about her before. She is a very talented actress and singer.

This is Chow's early work as a director, but it stands out in his career because of its subtlety and earnestness.

Shanghai Affairs (1998)

Donnie Yen stars in this melodramatic, late 90's action flick. The movie is ok, but goes over the top often.

How Bruce Lee Changed the Wolrd (2009)

History Channel just aired a great new Bruce documentary. It is fantastic to see a modern documentary on him. This 2-hour film deals with how he influenced people from all walks of life. From musicians to comedians to athletes and actors.

Bruce Lee is more than just martial arts...he represents being the best or at least being the best you can possibly be.

The Leg Fighters aka Invincible Kung Fu Legs (1978)

The Leg Fighters is an independent released martial arts film directed by Lee Tso Nam, starring Dorian Tan Tao-Liang and Ha Kwong Li and it is an above average old-school fu film.

I was impressed with the athletic and acrobatic prowess of Dorian Tan and especially impressed with the beautiful Ha Kwong Li. I am not normally into chicks fighting but Ha Kwong Li is is extremely graceful and flexible.

Another thing that is impressive is The Leg Fighters is an independent film and it rivals The Sammo Hung films from the same period.

The Leg Fighters is a fun, old movie.

The 36th Chamber of Shaolin aka The Master Killer (1978)

36th Chamber of Shaolin is widely considered to be one of the greatest kung fu films ever made but I am not sure why. It is pretty tame compared to the Sammo Hung-Yuen Biao films.

I just watched the Dragon Dynasty version. It was ok.

King of Beggars

King of Beggars tends to be too talkative for people that don't understand Chinese, especially in the first third of the movie. The middle of the film shows Chow using his charm and showcasing his acting skills as well as some decent tournament action. The last part of the film goes a little into crazy land so it is not as exciting or entertaining. Chow's movies typically get too crazy at the end.

Sharla Cheung is beautiful as always. She is retired from the movie business now and I hope she is doing well in life.
