FBA: Treasure Hunt review
An okay kid's adventure comedy, shot in China, from the Wong Jing factory.

Chinese take on My Sassy Girl is wafer-thin but gets by on its two leads' charm.

FBA: 72 Martyrs review
Initially promising drama of a 1911 China uprising let down by a weaker second half.

FBA: I Phone You review
Given the amount of time the audience is to spend with Jiang [Yiyan]'s stranded Ling, the script wisely spends a good 20 minutes building her character at home with her job (a bubbly flower-girl) and easygoing girl friends. By the time she arrives in Berlin, the viewer already knows she's a typical young Chongqing woman — practical, determined, life-loving, chance-taking. So, as she tries to survive 48 hours in a foreign city with just a mobile phone but no passport, money or a word of German, there's at least a semi-believable element to the story.

The teaser features the beginning of the movie when about 20 Chinese soldiers fight a large number of Japanese invaders to save a group of schoolgirls.

Lately, it was said that Rose's master Master Sin is currently the target of triads.[!]
Sin Chew Daily reported that the sexual harassment scandal involving Hong Kong actress Rose Chan and two senior actors had escalated...Police, who got wind of the assassination attempt, arrested four people and seized three toy guns.
Many credit wing chun’s renewed popularity to a series of films about Yip Man, one of the art’s greatest “sifus", or teachers, and most famously the man who turned Lee from street fighter to martial arts legend.
