  1. I was curious about Joanna Dong and found hers cool Mandarin version of "Afro Blue". She's got a great voice!

    Here's her website.

  2. Nice! Just noticed that song was composed by Mongo Santamaria. My brother used to have some of his LPs and I remember enjoying listening to them. :D

  3. Okay, all the posters for If You Are The One 2 say it comes out on 22 December. However, the movie theater website in HK says 13 January.

    Please don't tell me that HK would not release this until 13 January! I am looking forward to seeing this in a theater in HK in a matter of weeks (along with Let The Bullets Fly and Sacrifice!)

  4. That's probably right. Most of my posts are from Mainland sourced. A few mainland films are day and date with HK but unless it's an HK film I'd presume that the dates are Mainland only. Sorry.
