The Beauty Who Lived Through Great Changes
June 7, 2008 The worst of Pak YinThis film is a like a government warning film - how to be the perfect woman. It's totaly out of date, laughable, silly. So don't waste your time and money even for if you are a Pak Yin's fan like I am. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
Sacred Fire Heroic Wind (DVD) (Hong Kong Version)
June 6, 2008 bad part 2As I remember from my childhood many scenes were missing from this DVD. The original part one is much better, better cast better story! Very strange to cast Ms Chan character's from part one into the lead character in part two. I guess in those day's if you are famous you can get away with anythimg ! Did you find this review helpful?

In The Face Of Demolition (DVD) (China Version)
June 6, 2008 False advertisingDon't believe a minute that Bruce Lee is the lead. He only appears only for a few scenes ( briefly ). Very weak story you don't feel for Ms Zi Law Lin or Mr Cheung's roles. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

Moslem Sacred Fire Decree (Hong Kong Version)
September 29, 2007 passableLooking forward to get this for a long time. But the graphic ( magic - wee wang wang ) could be added a bit more, there are a few fighting scene that the 'magic' was not put in at all. Good villainess ( Tsing Yum ) though, hope yesasia will get the sequel out soon! because I forgot how they replaced Lam Ka Sing. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
The Great Devotion Of Stepmother
September 29, 2007 Not That greatThe story line is impossible, there is no way a stepmother even at that era would do such sacrifice for the step son. UNREAL!! Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

(1)Our Price: US$15.99List: US$22.99Save: US$7.00 (30%)Usually ships within 7 daysFebruary 4, 2006 Mel Brooks - a great producersThe muti talented director - Mel Brook, not only can he direct but he surprised us all with this fawless score - the stage version of The Producers. There is also a DVD - the making of which gives a great insight of how The Producers were recorded. Lane and Boderick is the perfect match I have the joy of seeing the stage version of this show if you haven't go and see the under rated film ( it is as good ).
Last chance to come to London to see the stage show before it finishes this year 2006. From www.londonupdate.co.ukDid you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

Five Easy Pieces (Part 1) (To Be Continued)
Five Easy Pieces (Part 1) (To Be Continued) VCD
(1)Our Price: US$28.80List: US$31.50Save: US$2.70 (9%)Related promotions:February 4, 2006 There is a reason....Don't get me wrong I am a big fan of Mr Kam's work but there is a reason why this drama is a flop. There is a lot of promise to make this series into a hit but some parts do drag on a bit like the 'singing contest' we don't need to hear Do Do Cheung's (dubbed) singing voice for so many times. The story started with great potential but as the story goes on you won't feel for a wimp character like Adam Cheung and Do Do's self pity. It would be nice if Lee Shut Kei came back just to end the story instead of the abrupt ending. Great cast but a bit of waste of their talent. There is a reason why the audience abandon this drama.

Sercet Book (VCD) (Hong Kong Version)
October 18, 2005 No secret this movie is BAD!!!I only wish someone has seen this and warned me about it. I thought the old version of Secret Book was just ok but this new Secret Book is worse. Mr Choi Ta Wa at his worse role as the selfish husband and a very stupid and deserved to be kill King starred Mr Pun Yat On . The story is all over the place , a bit of Kung Fu, a bit of magic, a bit of opera singing, a bit of comedy.
The first 0 marks I ever gave.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

Anyway this musical is just a spin off from the movie with songs written in just for the sake of it . So forget this cd and buy the film soundtrack.

After much awards on Broadway this musical wasn't as well recieve in London Westend. The songs were not that memerable and some scenes from the show is too batty even for me. I think seeing the show is more entertaining than listening to the cd. From www.londonupdate.co.uk Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

October 15, 2005 Day by day and months, years you can listen to thiA low budjet Broadway musical then turned into a musical film.The sucess lies in the simple use fo props and situation to bring out the story. Great music but of course Day by Day is the most famous tune. From www.londonupdate.co.uk Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

I hope that it will be something more than La Cage or Rocky Horror.But neither are those or nearly as good, songs are ok and so is the story. Nothing new, nothing exciting.
