• Accident (DVD) (Hong Kong Version) DVD Region 3 Richie Jen (Actor) | Louis Koo (Actor) | Johnnie To (Producer) | Soi Cheang (Director)

  Is it an Accident, or is it murder? From Shamo and Dog Bite Dog director Soi Cheang comes the suspense thriller Accident. Produced by Johnnie To, the film screened in competition at the 66th Venice Film Festival. Louis Koo (Overheard) delivers one of the most compelling performances of his career as a paranoid hitman who designs his hits to look like accidents, but he may have met his match in Richie Jen (Exiled). Co-starring Michelle Yip, Lam Suet, and veteran Stanley Fung, who were also all in Johnnie To's Vengeance, Accident plays out as an unpredictable and slow-burning cat-and-mouse drama that doesn't bend to genre convention. Hitman Fai (Louis Koo) and his team of three engineer the perfect murders. Planning down to the last minute detail, they carefully choreograph their kills in obtuse manners to look like freak accidents. One botched mission, however, leaves a member dead and the team in disarray. Was it an accident, or has someone beat them at their own game? Smelling foul play, Fai suspects that he's been set up by Chan (Richie Jen), a normal insurance executive who seems to be somehow connected to the incident. Slowly losing his cool and his mind, Fai becomes obsessed with cornering Chan. This edition comes with making of and trailer.

• The Founding Of A Republic (DVD) (English Subtitled) (China Version) DVD Region 6 Tang Guoqiang (Actor) | Zhang Guo Li (Actor) | Leon Lai (Actor) | Andy Lau (Actor)

  2009 marks the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China (PRC), and a host of films were specially made to commemorate the occasion. Among those films, The Founding of a Republic is the undisputed centerpiece of the lot, due mainly to its epic scope and the magnitude of talents involved in the production. Produced under the banner of the state-run China Film Group and its director Han Sanping, the ambitious project is helmed by Fifth-Generation director Huang Jianxin (Gimme Kudos) from a script by Wang Xingdong (The One Man Olympics). The historical epic chronicles the Chinese civil war from 1945 to 1949, during which the Chinese Communist Party overthrew the rule of Kuomintang and eventually established the PRC. The film opened in Mainland two weeks before the October 1st National Day, and the strong buzz has powered the film to stunning grosses at the box office. By its fifth weekend, this unstoppable juggernaut has raked in over RMB400 million to become the highest-grossing Chinese film of all time. Perhaps what makes The Founding of a Republic such an attention grabber and commercial triumph is the huge ensemble cast that has come together under the great patriotic cause this movie represents. Over a hundred big-name Chinese showbiz personalities get starring roles in the event film, including many international superstars that reportedly make cameo appearances for free. Occupying the main roles are Tang Guoqiang (playing Mao Zedong), Zhang Guoli (Chiang Kai Shek), Xu Qing (Soong Ching Ling), Vivian Wu (Soong Mei Ling), Aloys Chen (Chiang Ching Kuo), Liu Jin (Zhou Enlai), Wang Wufu (Zhu De), and Wang Xueqi (Li Tsung Jen). In supporting parts there are Jet Li, Zhang Ziyi, Vicki Zhao, Huang Xiaoming, Liu Ye, Guo Xiaodong, Tong Dawei, Ge You, Hu Jun, Zhang Hanyu, Chen Hao, Ning Jing, Eva Huang, Chen Daoming, and Jiang Wen. Add to the mix popular Hong Kong movie stars like Jackie Chan, Andy Lau, Leon Lai, Donnie Yen, Tony Leung Ka Fai, and the stargazing still doesn't end there - even A-list directors Chen Kaige and Feng Xiaogang are onboard taking rare turns in front of the camera!

• Kung Fu Chefs (DVD) (2-Disc Edition) (Hong Kong Version) DVD Region All Sammo Hung (Actor) | Vanness Wu (Actor) | Cherrie Ying (Actor) | Fan Siu Wong

  Kung Fu Chefs brings together two Hong Kong Cinema favorites - food and fighting - for a rollicking action comedy. Martial arts legend Sammo Hung leads the cast as the fighting chef, while F4's Vanness Wu, who previously displayed his action talents in Kung Fu Fighter and Star Runner, plays his goateed protege. Directed by Ken Yip, Kung Fu Chefs cooks up an entertaining smorgasbord of gourmet drama, budding romance, and journeyman kung-fu action. The film co-stars former Morning Musume member Kago Ai and Hong Kong actress Cherrie Ying, as well as martial artists Fan Siu Wong (Ip Man) and Bruce Liang, Sammo Hung's son Timmy Hung, and funnyman Lam Tze Chung (Kung Fu Hustle). After getting ousted from the clan by his vengeful nephew (Fan Siu Wong), disgraced chef Wong (Sammo Hung) happens upon young and arrogant cooking prodigy Lung (Vanness Wu) at the Four Seas restaurant. Four Seas' sassy proprietor (Cherrie Ying) takes Wong on as her new head chef, and Wong takes Lung on as his new disciple, training him in an amusing series of culinary kung-fu spars. With the Top Chef competition coming up, it's now up to Lung to win back his master's honor, even if the other side's not fighting fair. This 2-Disc Edition comes with a bonus disc containing making of, music video, and trailers.
