黑社會 2
Election 2 is this years sequel to last years hit Election (some may remember from my old blog, my friend Mike in HK sent me the Election 1 DVD earlier this year). For those that don’t know this movie, Election is a 2005 Hong Kong movie telling the story about the internal process of selecting a chairman to lead the Wo Sing triad society (triad is the name for HK gansters. Just like Mafia for Italy, Yakuza for Japan, Ganster for US, etc.). Strangely, the Cantonese title reflects nothing regarding an election, but is plainly dubbed 黑社會 (Hak Se Wui), which translates directly into English as black society (cantonese for triads).
TMNT teaser trailer
The new CGI Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie slated for March 2007 is shaping up to be rather slick! At first I had my doubts regarding how good this CGI movie can visually look. Reason being, it is being made in a little-heard-of studio in Hong Kong. Bias, I know. I just can’t help but think, when it comes to CG, you can’t beat US and/or Japan. Oh well, not the first time I’ve been proven wrong anyway.
Anyway, the TMNT teaser starts off great: dark, moody, serious, and how the Turtle’s eyes are just white with no pupil. As it reaches the end… erm… hmmmm… you’ll just have to see for yourself…
