bc magazine reviews
Accident
Accident is a carefully assembled, effectively executed and quietly successful little film that manages to mostly silence the concerns over its lengthy gestation period and emerge as one of the more interesting Hong Kong films of this year.
Crazy Racer
The complex intertwining storyline, featuring a plethora of nefarious underworld characters, makes Crazy Racer feel in many ways like a Mandarin Guy Ritchie film, similar in tone and style to Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels.
In the end, Haeundae is exactly what you would expect from a big-budget Korean disaster film: a giant genre mash-up of romance and action, brimming with big-name stars playing highly emotional characters with very convoluted relationships.

But it is only recently that he has finally, as he says, "tasted what it feels like being a superstar."

Royston Tan returns to his roots
No more feature films, albeit temporarily. This was what local filmmaker Royston Tan had in mind as he made his return with short film "Little Note".
In the past three years, Tan has produced two consecutive feature films (the getai-inspired "881" and "12 Lotus") which further enhanced his reputation as one of Singapore's top filmmakers, and many wondered whether he would return to his roots - short films.
