  
Go Go Yubari. Sharp things are so pretty.
American fans of Asian action cinema will recognize Chiaki Kuriyama instantly from Kinji Fukasaku's 2000 cult classic Battle Royale.
The general kick-assness of this japanese villain makes Go Go my ultimate screen idol. I especially liked the part where she stabs this perv in the guts with her shogun.
Go-Go ( in japanese) : Do you want to touch me?
Perv: Yes
Go-Go: (whips out samurai sword and plunges it into his abdomen. Blood Blood.More Blood.)
Sigh it was SO GOOD.
To be honest, I didn' t like Memoirs much. The pacing was off at some bits and i felt the movie was way too draggy. Although the cinematography was beautiful, the blandly wistful gaze of 'Ziyi Zhang', and Michelle Yeoh kind of pissed me off.
I dislike them with a passion.
However, Gong Li did the most superb job with her role as Hatsumomo. Ok, I admit I'm pretty biased,but I do believe she's one of the greatest actresses who has ever lived. I was so happy when she grabbed 'Ziyi Zhang's' hair going 'I wiw destro-h yew...'
Please Do! The latter was totally ruining the movie.
Hatsumomo (created by Gong Li) was one of the coolest on-screen characters I have ever seen. Her tousled mass of black hair gave her character, Her bitchiness betrayed an inner bitterness which was tragic, Her lover was hot,She was hot, She had the best kimono's, the best accessories,and best of all, she hated 'Ziyi Zhang's' character. Therefore, She is the best.
  I'm convinced the only reason why Yeoh and Zhang were placed in this frame was just to remind us how much Hatsumomo (Gong Li) rocks so much harder than they do.
I love pretty bitchy girls who hate Ziyi Zhang and old leatherface over here,Michelle Yeoh. (no amount of foundation can hide the years yeoh).
 
Saving Face was a brilliant film. Joan Chen was amazing, as usual. She was funny, tragic, but mostly funny, as the 'rebel' mum beneath the whole uptight traditional chinese exterior. Unlike Memoirs, none of the girls in this movie pissed me off. Aside from those sickening gossipy aunties which reminded me very much of aunties I know. The love between the two protagonists was so sweet and exciting , if I didn't know any better, I would think this film is a bender.
Anyway, I think Lynn Chen (Vivian, to the left of the first picture), is way hot. Now I know who Wil reminds me of...wrong sex though.
I didn't like any of Eric Khoo's films much. By the time I was done with the Eric Khoo boxset, the first 12 seconds of Be With Me reduced me to a bubbling spaz mess.
.
But despite this, I think Lum May Yee is well cool.
I didn't think I'd say this, but I really enjoyed 15. I really really did. I REALLY loved it actually. It was a really good film.
There were some bits which totally grossed me out, but about 40 minutes into the movie I realized I was crushing on one of the Ah-bengs in it (inserted picture).
It must've been the fact he only has one tattoo and was adverse to piercings despite having no qualms about cutting people's ears off. He was so quirky and sensitive and refreshingly different, it was love at first sight. 
He's even on the cover! Obviously I'm not alone in thinking he's well hot.
Hm...and I thought those were bubbles on the cover...
His friend, the one in the orange shorts, is really freaky.He looks like a punk tweety bird suffering from some facial fungal infection.
But man, He's so hot (green shorts). I can't remember what his name is but he's hot. It was so touching when he expressed concern for his tweety bird friend when the latter was trying to shit condoms of e out his butt.
I never thought I'd be crushing on an ahbeng but I really liked him. This just goes to show, ahbengs CAN have good genes.
Meet the Maker. Royston Tan. 15 totally rocked. I LOVE IT
