Sigh, I need to keep track to make these posts shorter! Getting too long. Wah! And news become old quickly after being stored here for like…two weeks. Lol.

Lin Geng Xin’s Sword Master, Tang Yan’s Chinese Odyssey 3
Star-studded movie Call of Heroes with Eddie Peng, Louis Koo
Formerly known as the Deadly Reclaim (I like this title better!), now it’s called Call Of Heroes. The odds are against our villain played creepily by Louis Koo (Triumph In The Sky Movie) if the whole village is keen on his execution, led by Sean Lau (The Vanished Murderer) and joined by Eddie Peng (Legend of Wong Fei Hung), with solid action star in Wu Jing (SPL II: A Time For Consequences) and Sammo Hung as the action director. Now these actors are already up there in age so can we please get some fresh faces in the cinema world of Kung Fu? I don’t know, someone like Ashton Chen? If these actors have been playing similar roles for years, so can he! I don’t care anymore at this point. Lol.
Tang Yan and Han Geng lead Chinese Odyssey Part Three
Girl is never gonna take a break! If I were to plan a celebrity vacation, Tang Yan and Zhao Li Ying would be the first to be shipped off somewhere exotic to enjoy a few weeks. The previous two parts of Chinese Odyssey starred Stephen Chow, Ng Man Tat, Athena Chu, and Yammie Lam, and were released in 1995. Stephen Chow also adapted his own version in 2013 called Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons. The same director, Jeffrey Lau, will be re-inventing the storyline to match with today’s audience.
What’s up with the trend of adapting stories from classical novel Journey to the West? I see at least four different versions being made into the film this year… *shrugs*
Intense trailer for action thriller SPL II: A Time For Consequences
YES! Real men fighting! Not your skinny lads wearing rock clothing and throwing around cute punches to show off to the ladies. 😉 And what a mix of artists too, not your usual serve of same crew. The biggest surprise is Ong Bak star, Tony Jaa, starring in his first Hong Kong film and leading the grown up men – Louis Koo (Triumph in the Skies), Wu Jing (SPL: Sha Po Lang), Simon Yam (The Midnight After, Sara), and Max Zhang (The Grandmaster) in a fight for their lives. Honestly, these actors are drama actors that I used to love in dramaland, when they were younger and had much less muscles. =P
