Hi, People! Welcome to my blog! This should have perhaps been my first post, but this blog was a spontaneous idea and I jumped right into it with this first review...

I'm a film fan. I'm from Germany. I've been an aficionado of asian movies and a lover of all things east asian for 30 years. I've studied English and Japanese and Film/Theatre.  I've worked as a News Cameraman and did camerawork in the medical field, a profession I can't still work in due to medical problems.

I'm not a film critic, I'm far from objective and the films I chose to review here are films I like or find remarkable in one way or the other. There will be Hong Kong, Mainland Chinese and Japanese subjects here with occasional digressions into Korea.
I can't guarantee regular content but I guarantee films that are fun and great. Let's see where this takes us...

Feel free to comment and make suggestions over movies and subjects. Be excellent to each other!  🙂

Rigor Mortis   殭屍  ( Geung Si ) 2013 Directed  Juno Mak Zeon-lung Produced  Juno Mak, Shimizu Takashi ( 'Ju-on: The Grudge') Cinematography Ng Man-ching (as Ng Kai-ming) Starring  Chin Siu-ho, Anthony Chan Yau, Kara Hui, Billy Lau, Nina Paw Hee-ching, Chung Fat, Lo Hoi-pang, Richard Ng Hi, people! After a bout with a totally un-funny dental nerve infection, I'm back on my feet with some of the hard stuff  (There will be spoilers ahead.) There is not a great tradition of horror movies in Hong Kong and Chinese cinema.  Like almost any genre in chinese and Hk film the sources of the 'horror' genre are grounded in chinese opera, historic novels and story compilations, the zhiguai xiaoshuo  ( 志怪小说) Tales of the Miraculous  going back to the Song and even Han Dynasties, with Pu Songling's liaozhai zhiyi  (聊齋誌異 Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio  1740) being one of the chief inspirations for the film makers in the s...

Long time no see! Let's just jump right in! Change of plans, though! IP MAN 3   (2016) 葉問3 (Jip Man Saam) Directed by     Wilson Yip Produced by   Raymond Wong Written by       Edmond Wong, Chan Tai-lee, Jil Leung Cinematography   Kenny Tse Action Direction    Yuen Woo-ping Starring Donnie Yen Max Zhang Jin Lynn Hung Patrick Tam Karena Ng Kent Cheng Mike Tyson Tats Lau To be honest, I'm not sure if I really like the third part enough to consider it a 'great' movie. On the one hand I like that from a narrative point of view the film is superior to the previous installment. There's more story to tell and some of it is told from Ip sifu's wife's point of view. We get to see that she can indeed talk, we see the hardships the life of a martial artist exerts on his family. And YES! he finally spends some time with his family! But only after he learns that she's sick... So Donnie Yen does have a few scenes in whi...
