Thoughts inspired by Chen Tai Chi training with Hou Sifu
I've been passionate about martial arts and martial arts movies for as long as I can remember. The two aren't, as you might imagine, necessarily inclusive. I've met dozens of kung fu movie fans who have never trained in martial arts in their lives. Simil...Read more

On location for Teddy Chen's Bodyguards and Assassins, and my turn to play the Queen's Road Ripper.
Still recovering from the M1NT party of the night before, I checked out of the hotel and headed over to the studios where my old friend Teddy Chen is shooting his film Bodyguards and Assassins (formerly known as Dark October).

Hitting The Fifties with the terrible trio...
Its a sad fact that I'm reaching the same age as my favourite Hong Kong hangout, The Fifties.
This off the beaten track hole in the wall is situated on the 3rd floor of the California Entertainment Building on D'Aguilar Street in Lan Kwai-fong. It has a rocking house band, The Magic Touch, and they actively encourage patrons to sing.
(Some so-called friends of mine go "Oh, its just karaoke...", but, no, its a live ...Read more

This year the Hong Kong Film Awards returned to their familiar venue at the Cultural Centre in Tsim Sha Tsui. Even though prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /Hong Kong is such a relatively small place, its rare to get all the major talents in the industry under one roof.

Day 2 of the Hong Kong Film Market
The second day of Filmart showed no major decline in the floor traffic and buzz of projects pitched, pondered and passed upon.
