SELECTED POSTS
This page, NEWS & UPDATES which is

grown into a huge database of my almost
daily ramblings of all stuff I hold dear to
my heart, including gossips of the most

MY POINT IS [Comments & Opinions].
SERIES' SUMMARIES
Sometime in 2004 I began
reviewing selected
series in an episode by
episode way, where I
called these reviews
EPISODIC THOUGHTS.
These thoughts are
mostly summaries of each
and every episode with
my opinion of that
episode included in it
as well. I may not
provide the most in
depth summaries but I am
very proud of the fact
that I could keep the
writing on such a long
winded basis each and
every night for the
entirety of the series.
I don't do this for each
and every series though
because it kills a lot
of brain cells, mine as
well as fellow netizens
who often joined in the
discussion by posting
informative stuff. These
thoughts are still open
for feedback and
discussion. Do check
them all out in
REVIEWS where it is
indicated with an
[E]
next to my name.
OFFBEAT STUFF

section in here that

Kung Fu Hustle
Permanent link ▫ ▫  
I am so looking forward to this movie. Luckly audiences at Toronto who got to watch it first. I wonder when it is opening? Some teaser posters ...
   
Amazing that it is Columbia who is tossing $20 million US into this movie, Sammo Hung quit as action director and replaced by a better one that is Yuen Wo Ping (both said no rifts but let's face it, Stephen Chow has always been well known as a perfectionist) and look at all the promo! So exciting!!
A short summary taken from IMDB ...
"Freaking fantastic., 15 September 2004
Author: jive-3 from toronto
Goodness me, what a fantastic movie. Caught the world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival and the entire theater laughed until they cried. Amazingly directed, HILARIOUSLY funny, it blends a 1930s gangster stylishness into a Hong Kong kung fu movie to astonishing results. Who would've thought you could top Shaolin Soccer? Not me, until I saw this movie. Stephen Chow pulled it off. Chow's comedic timing gets better and better with every movie he makes, and while his films are depending more and more on CGI these days, and makes this movie much more a fantasy kung fu film than a traditional one, it hardly detracts from the enjoyable experience. Make it your mission to see this film - it will be one of the most entertaining you ever see. I can't remember the last film I enjoyed myself in more. My eyes still hurt from wiping away tears of laughter. Seriously. "
A not so good one ...
"A good film for Steven Chow fans, 14 September 2004
Author: emacs72
Only from Steven Chow do we get a martial arts / comedy with references to Shaw Brother films from the 70s, Bruce Lee, Ray Harryhausen, Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner, Matrix Reloaded and Spider-Man. The film is Kung Fu Hustle which had its world premiere at the 29th Toronto International Film Festival. The film opens in Japan on January 15, 2005 and will unspool in other countries thereafter.
The film centers around the exploits of a wannabe tough guy (Chow) who unwittingly gets involved in a conflict between the notorious Axe Gang and residents of a housing project. That's pretty much all the plot detail you need as the film is stuffed with wacky bits of slapstick humour and martial arts loosely choreography by Sammo Hung, Yuen Woo Ping and CG artisans.
I'll be the first to admit that I just do not "get" Steven Chow's brand of comedy. I did watch Shaolin Soccer for what seems like several years ago and found it to be just okay. The good news is that I enjoyed Kung Fu Hustle abit more but not by much. The audience around my friends and I, however, truly and absolutely loved the film. I sat there and perhaps chuckled a few times but found myself thinking about the magnificence that is the HOUSE OF FLYING DAGGERS which I saw a few days ago.
Despite my cool reception to Kung Fu Hustle, I have no doubt this film will be an enormous box-office smash in many parts of Asia. If you love Steven Chow films then Kung Fu Hustle will have you grinning well after the final credits scroll past the screen. "
Frankly Stephen Chow's recent movies are less "mo lei tau" and more slapstick humour and yet so much heart. I feel he is now making movies he really want to make. I saw some teasers and I thought they were fantastic. A Stephen Chow movie can only be truly enjoyed in its purest form; that is Cantonese. Those who can't understand the beauty of the comedy of words will definitely enjoy the slapstick humour or rather the funny scenes that are truly universal in its laughter; like in Shaolin Soccer, when that rival football captain witg glasses who looked so innocent and gentlemanly talking in a very gentlemanly manner and suddenly a screwdriver fell from his trousers!! Everybody laughed!!
I wonder when it is opening? So looking forward to it!! But I always felt Stephen's best work was with TVB, that series with Alex Man. Who can forget that scene where he was talking over a handphone! I have always been a fan of his, from his early days of TVB where he talked to the kids in a kids show like he's going to murder them to serious roles to small roles in movies (like the one where he played I think an informer next to an actor whose name is Danny something, he was brilliant there) to the times where he hit it big, from good, to great to bad to worse to great again. Love him! Glad that he has enough star power to get the gwailos to finance his movie!
