AKA: Lovers Director: Zhang Yimou Cast: Zhang Ziyi, Andy Lau, Song Dandan, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Song Dandan Running Time: 119 min. By Owlman Let me start off by saying that House of Flying Daggers is a very beautiful film. The cinematography, the colorful costumes, the action scenes – all very well done and hypnotic during the first viewing of the film. However, like Zhang Yimou’s previous wuxia creation, Hero, House of … Continue reading

Director: Ang Lee Cast: Zhang Ziyi, Michelle Yeoh, Chow Yun Fat, Chang Chen, Cheng Pei Pei, Lung Sihung Running Time: 115 min. By Numskull Pretty much everything that has been said about this movie is true. The cast is superb. Chow Yun-Fat, who gets top billing, turns in a fine performance as usual but actually has a smaller role than his female co-stars, Michelle Yeoh and Zhang Ziyi. Yeoh is … Continue reading
