Movies I’m Watching: The Equation of Love and Death (李米的猜想）
Zhou Xun plays Li Mi, a plucky Kunming cab driver secretly nursing a broken heart and obsession—the man she loved disappeared four years ago and their one-way line of communication are the letters that he writes to her, which she … Continue reading
Movies I’m Watching: Standard Operating Procedure
Films like this fill in a huge vacuum between the run of the mill Hollywood fare and Michael Moore’s more openly polemical films. His latest effort, about the prisoner torture and abuse at Abu Ghraib aptly demonstrates, yet again, that … Continue reading

Movies I’m Watching: Les Valseuses
I actually watched this a couple of weeks ago but never got the chance to write about it: There’s a Channel4.com review which sums it up nicely: For Blier, the surreal agent provocateur who would make a career out of … Continue reading
Movies I’m Watching: X Files: I want to believe
I was never a huge fan of the X-files series but I was quite looking forward to this movie ever since I first saw the previews when at a movie theater in Paris. I just got the DVD in Shanghai … Continue reading
Could the Chinese rip off Bon Jovi to sell sneakers?
Sure, why the hell not. Like Frank Yi said they copied his way. I mean the publicly listed Chinese fashion sportswear company,
Beijing Olympics spoof movie posters
Netease has a bunch of spoof movie posters featuring Chinese Olympic athletes. You can vote for the ones that you like. Here are some of the ones that I liked or thought were nominally interesting, featuring Yao Ming, Liu Xiang … Continue reading
