And that's more a Chinese than HK film.
HK/Chinese. Just as SPL. You see, a lot of HK films are now being made together with companies from the Mainland.

Mark you should just stop watching HK films - it's a lost cause. Try Korean and Japanese titles instead. 8)

hey,

I'd imagine you could convert Mark more easily as he dislikes a lot more of the films than I do (last week hasn't been a good week for movies for me though ;)) but with me, there is truly a lost cause if there ever was one. :lol:

May be denial but I sure like to live with HK crap more than acclaimed Japanese or Korean movies. Then there's the handful of dependant directors that shine up your viewing life anyway so home at Hong Kong it is, with sporadic excursions elsewhere. New and old directors are still there to be discovered, last year being a big year taking in Clara Law's excellent filmography.

Yet, you seemed to remember it well enough to give it a rating of 1.5.
I kept notes of my views and yes I do remember giving it *.5.

That strange?

You make notes of all films you see? Yes that's strange :wink:
