(124)Our Price: US$10.99Related promotions:September 15, 2008 Great! Twins rocks!All I have to say is that I really liked the movie! It has its funny moments and cool hilarious action to go along with. The cast was good too with a special guest appearance by Jackie Chan. This is a must see for fans of vampire movies also. One thing I didn't understand was some of the plot of the film which didn't make much sense but still entertaining either way. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

March 5, 2008 Good sequel
In this sequel to the first blockbuster hit, Jackie's character has been demoted back to traffic after violently arresting his crime boss nemesis from the first film.
After a bomb explodes in a shopping mall, Jackie is assigned to the case which involves a gang of bombers who are demanding $20 million from building owners whom Jackie must bring to justice. I really enjoyed this sequel because there's still the same humor, fight scenes and even bigger explosions! Don't miss this one!Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
Police Story (DVD) (US Version)
March 3, 2008 Jackie's breakthrough hit!Police Story is probably the film that launched Jackie into the mainstream and it was no surprise that it did well at the box office because the film is filled with action, fight scenes and humor with supporting cast members Brigitte Lin and Maggie Cheung who deliver their performances very well. There were many funny scenes throughout the film and a few touching moments so you definitely won't be bored.
Jackie plays a police officer who gets a big break when he arrests a known crime boss who later gets released on a technicality and sets out for revenge by framing the murder of a fellow cop on Jackie. For the rest of the movie, Jackie tries to prove his innocence. I highly recommend Police Story to any Jackie Chan fans. This is simply Jackie at his best!Did you find this review helpful?

March 1, 2008 Welcome to the Flower Show!
Ok, This is the Taiwan version of the band's third album, "I Am Your Romeo" but it's given a different title, "Flower Show" which works well. I really enjoyed the songs on the album. Not something I would call groundbreaking or innovative but the songs are something fun and danceable people can dance to or even sing along to.
On here, this is where The Flowers experiments with the boy band style rather than their usual pop punk stuff. There's some "punk" moments but not a whole lot. Check out the songs on websites before getting this so you know what the songs sound like. Hope that helped somewhat. In my opinion, all Flowers fans should check out Flower Show. well overall, I recommend this album because I like the youthful feel to it.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

December 25, 2007 Just plain fun pop music!I'm just going to make this simple and short. S.H.E does a great job with their 10th album, Play, which sounds very well done. The songs make me want to jump up. What I like about "Play" is that S.H.E goes diverse from pop to ballad and even rap. Sounds like S.H.E had fun recording the album! I recommend checking it out.

Hua Ling Sheng Hui (CD+DVD) (China Version)
Hua Ling Sheng Hui (CD+DVD) (China Version) DVD Region All
(1)Our Price: US$8.99Related promotions:December 5, 2007 Possibly their best yet...The Flowers, probably one of the most overlooked group to come out of China releases their fifth full-length album while overcoming obstacles and controversies earlier in their career. Clocking in at around 37 minutes, The Flowers pack in a punch as they deliver upbeat happy feel good songs, ballads and a bit of dance pop rock.
Let me start off by saying this album by The Flowers is definitely their greatest effort yet and in my opinion, their best work so far. For those who don't know the whole story, The Flowers were accused of plagiarizing their songs back in 2006. The scandal struck a huge blow to the group and may have been the reason why their popularity never reached new heights. On this album, the band returns to showcase a new set of catchy songs to prove that they can still rock.
What I like about this album is that the band has gone deeper into their Chinese roots. Plus, the songs sounds fresh and new. The album kicks off with the catchy 1st single, Qiong Kai Xin, meaning Shiny Happiness, which takes the concept feel of the album into a new direction. Most of the songs on here are great and may appeal to Chinese pop music lovers, youngsters and to Asian pop music enthusiasts. I recommend tracks 1,2,4,5,7,8 as I feel those are the best songs on the whole album. The rest are ok. Last but not least, a bonus DVD (playable only in PAL format) is included for us mv fans containing two awesome and funny mvs for the songs Qiong Kai Xin which is track 1 and Boer Yi Ge which is track 7.
Overall, I highly recommend this album. It's worth getting and at a fair price too. You won't be disappointed.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This)

The Flowers (2CD+2VCDs) (New Year Version) (China Version) VCD
(1)Our Price: US$11.49Related promotions:July 31, 2007 Pretty cool Special Edition!If you're into the Flowers or Mandarin pop, this is for you! The Flowers, probably best known for their big and controversial hit, Xi Shua Shua, pulls off another good album. The songs are basically upbeat dance pop music, some ballads, and even a hip-hop song. Their music tends to be diversed.
Along with this package is the Flowered Season Dynasty CD and VCD that contains two music videos, interviews and footage of the group messing around. As a treat, there's a bonus CD which contains a trance version of Xi Shua Shua and another VCD with a music video, a hand-painted flash video by frontman Da Zhang Wei, band interviews and footage of the band members visiting America and various places. As an added bonus, there are exclusive red envelopes! This special edition is a definite must-have!Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This)

Hua Tian Xi Shi (CD+VCD) (Taiwan Version)

July 7, 2007 Fun and amazing album!I first noticed Beijing-based pop rock band The Flowers when I saw one of their funny music videos. I thought they were pretty funny and their songs were catchy. When I first heard about this album, I thought to myself, "It's probably nothing that special." I listened to samples of the songs from a website so I bought it because I wanted to check them out anyways. The Flowers reminded me of those American pop punk bands who wrote catchy music which I liked by the way. So I decided to give them a try. I was kinda nervous when I put in the CD in my CD player and after hearing the first song I was amazed! It makes you want to jump and sing it out loud! Despite plagiarism accusations and other controversies surrounding these guys, The Flowers pull off a very good album mixed with Asian pop/rock, love songs, new wave sounds especially on track 10 and some hip hop. All of the songs sounds fresh and new except for track 2, I think The Flowers borrowed some melodies from German singer Sasha's "I Feel Lonely." But either way, the song is catchy. My favorite tracks are 1, 3, 4, 7 and 10. There's a booklet that comes with the CD with hilarious pictures of the group and a bonus VCD with the band talking and doing funny skits. It's all in Chinese so I didn't really have a clue to what they were saying. If you're into fun upbeat Chinese pop music, look no further than The Flowers: Hua Tian Xi Shi!
