Movie Review: East Meets West/東成西就2011

In the interest of brevity, I will try to make this review evoke (or ape) the film itself.


There you go. A seemingly random collection of (mildly) visually interesting things that have no apparent connection to each other, any meaning, or any depth whatsoever.

And Kenny B as a zombie transvestite.

Now my life is complete.

I saw this movie a couple weeks ago just as I was starting to get sick with what would become bronchitis. I had a head full of cough syrup, but I still blame this pile of garbage for being an indecipherable mess that is utterly forgettable. Even looking at these photos, which I vaguely recognize, I can’t remember anything substantive about the plot. I don’t think there was much to begin with.

I’m just grateful I’ve forgotten.

Jeff Lau has used up the goodwill he got from me with  Just Another Pandora’s Box/越光宝盒, which almost made up for some of his other recent and rather questionable (read: sh*tty) films.

Like  Kung Fu Cyborg/機器俠.

And  Fantastic Water Babes/出水芙蓉.

If I ever meet him, I’ll shit in his eyes and say “We’re even. Douche.”

I can’t wait for 2011 to end. Cinematically speaking, its been like massaging my scrotum with a cheese grater that uses hot sauce for lube.

Aiya... I was actually planning on seeing this. Why? Not sure. The poster looked intriguing at least. Wait, is that Karen Mok sporting the goth look in this?

I'm hoping it's already gone. In the name of all that is human.

For comparison basis, how would compare "East Meets West", "Legendary Amazons", and "Flirting Scholar 2" in order of quality. ;) hehe

East Meets is the best of the three but still 90 minutes of suck. Then Legendary, then Flirting. 3 sh*tty movies. Flirting
