Two extra new year movies
I love hk 2012 - the new installment from tvb/shaws with a host of tv actors. These series of films started a few years back with the updated 72 tenants movies, 72 tenants of prosperity, or something clunky like that. I'm expecting it to be forgettable fluff
All well ends well 2012 - Raymond wong's sausage factory churns out another new year comedy with Louis koo and Donne yen. See above for fluff reference.

Chinese new year movies
One month to go before Chinese new year and here's what's on offer.
'romancing in thin air' johnnies to romantic flick with Louis koo and sammi cheng. No andy lau this time and I just can't seem to get excited about this one. Johhnie to just needs Anthony Wong and some guns and I'm in. No more movies about hi risk investments please.
'the viral factor' directed by Dante lam with Nicholas tse and jay chow. Now I have a lot of love for Dante on the goodwill of 'beast cops' but he hasn't given me much love in return. I'm hoping he will turn his career around much like Wilson yip when he wowed me with 'bullets over summer' and 'Juliet in love'. A couple of mis steps with 'skyline crusiers' but did the amazing'spl but gave us the appalling 'Sargon tiger gate' but his career is going swimmingly. But I distress, this pic looks a bit late 90s and reminds me of those media Asia puddings like 'purple storm'. Leaves me a bit cold but hey, you never know.
'the great magican' directed by Derek yee with tony Leung chui wai and lau Ching wan. Lau dressed like the warlord character from the old shaws movie with Michael hui and tony doing the David copperfield role. Looks all a bit silly. But... Could be like 'Peking opera blues' but I doubt it.
'the flowers of war' - does this count? China's bid for the foreign language Oscar directed by zhang yimou and starring christian bale. It's about the Nanking massacre and looks bloody awful. Dubious pilot about convent girls and prostitutes sacrificing themselves for the girl's virtue or something like that. Not quite sure but I'm not keen, not in the slightlist.
And think those are all the Chinese movies out for CNY, the tvb/shaws entry, turning point 2, came out yesterday.
