ReplyDeleteWhere's the 3-D to make it worse?
Well, Beijing Film Academy and Youth Film Studio seem to be respected institutions and I can't question Sylvia Chang's bona fides , so I'll remain optimistic for now.
ReplyDeleteI recently watched "Shanghai" - Gong Li is very enthralling in the movie. :) (one reviewer said he couldn't keep his eyes off her!). I enjoyed the movie, although some critics only said it was so-so. It's supposed to be released in the US later this year. Kind of surprised that she's never been to S. Korea before.
ReplyDeleteI only recall lukewarm reviews for 'Shanghai', too. Does CYF have much to do in the film?
