Variety: 1911 review
The revolutionaries who fought to free China from nearly 3,000 years of dynastic oppression deserve a worthier cinematic monument than "1911."

THR: 1911 review
An erratic, laborious interpretation of Chinese revolutionary history that lets down its epic subject.

Variety: Tsui Hark made Hong Kong a global force
Asian Filmmaker of the Year: Tsui Hark

Beijing gives blessing to CityWalk-style complex

Two period action dramas, Taiwan's Warriors of the Rainbow: Seediq Bale and China's Let the Bullets Fly, have the most nominations for Taiwan's Golden Horse Awards. With 11 and 9 nominations respectively, they directly compete in 5 categories.

Felix Wong
Felix Wong and Max Mok have been secretly practicing their horseback riding in preparation for a new action film (lit. Glory Days). The film will be directed by Eric Tsang and action directed by Xiong Xin-Xin. Reports from earlier in the spring indicated a superstar cast including Simon Yam, Anthony Wong, Francis Ng, Lam Suet, Zhang Jingchu and others. It remains to be seen whether this is accurate or just pre-production hype. (Sina), (Mtime)



The actress denied having marital woes and revealed that she might return to showbiz any time

Chrissie Chau, at a boot modelling gig in Causeway Bay,  is still recovering from burns on her leg from a motorcycle. She recently finished her part filming in Stephen Chow's Monkey King film and said she felt that he was very talented.

Jennifer Tse next?


Yesterday, when asked by reporters if she was next to get married, Jennifer Tse said that she is ready and would not be a surprise if boyfriend Andy On proposed. She would, of course, accept.

In other related news, it was reported that Gigi had chosen to get married on the eve of her former lover Ekin Cheng's 44th birthday, so as to show him that she could get married before he does.
Another report claimed that Ekin and girlfriend Yoyo Mung will register for marriage in the US, in spring next year. That was why Gigi chose to get married suddenly.

Interestingly, while the statement warned the media about making claims that Lai and Lok's 3-year marriage is on the rocks, it did not mention anything about the condition of their relationship.
32-year-old Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi, whom a number of media reports have claimed as being the woman who came between Lai and his wife, has also taken action to deal with the negative rumours about herself.


The newlyweds will reportedly spend their honeymoon in Europe and will stay in Germany for a while before relocating to London.
It is believed that Sonija will stay in Beijing with her husband and only return to Hong Kong, if she needs to work.
