Stephen Chow A Chinese Odyssey (HD Restored & Remastered) (Hong Kong Version)
Stephen Chow A Chinese Odyssey (HD Restored & Remastered) (Hong Kong Version) DVD Region All
(4)Our Price: US$30.99Usually ships within 1 to 2 daysRelated promotions:March 22, 2008 A Great Love StoryThe local TV station had shown the two movies on many occasions but I have never watched them in full. The two scenes - one from each of the movies -that were the most memorable was when Stephen Chow's character tried to travel back in time to save his loved one; and the other was the final scene where Stephen Chow's and Athena Zhu's characters stood on the high wall in a "face-off".
I finally watched the two movies in full today and although the movies are more than 10 years old (and if one can look past the Stephen Chow's slapstick humour - you either love it or you hate it), I felt that the movies have withstood the test of time. It is a great story about love and destiny, and the most original twist to the Journey to the West. I am glad I bought the DVD.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This)

Happy Together ( Taiwan version)

April 30, 2006 What it means to be happy?A good movie is one that tells a good story and/or shed insight into the meaning of life.
Happy Together is a story about a couple - how one left the other person, breaking the latter's heart; how they got back together and how the same person wanted to leave and the other person tried in vain to do everything to keep former by his side.
It is a story about how a heartbroken man recover from a failed relationship. Like any heartbroken person, it takes time, new people and new places to get over a relationship.
It is a story about how a person who tried to get away for greater adventure never found it because he couldn't get away from himself and how one can only truly move on if one make the first step to change yourself and step out.
It is a story about how ironically one may not be happy when you are together with the person you love but how you do not need to be with the another to feel the friendship and love from him/her and be blessed and happy about it.
It is a story about how to be happy.
Happy Together is a brilliant movie.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
2046 (Hong Kong Version)

April 25, 2006 Putting life in perspectiveDespite earlier reviews - that the movie was slow and the plot confusing - when it was first released, I totally get the story. Perhaps it is only after a certain age and with some life experience can one fully realise how one cannot escape from the past and yet one can never go back to what was before. While struggling to find ourselves again, we miss or lost the moment that is in the present, which is what the movie successfully conveyed. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

(5)Our Price: US$7.99Usually ships within 7 daysRelated promotions:April 12, 2006 Coming of Age in HellThe story is bleak. A group of teenagers caught in a vicious cycle of bullying. The only way out was a tragic end. I felt that the pace and mood of the story could be better controlled and tightened. Instead, it was sporadic and uneven, with a mish mash of hi-tech instant messaging, teenage drama and social documentary. I didn't enjoy it as much. Did you find this review helpful?

April Story (DTS Version) (Taiwan Version)
March 30, 2006 Simple and meaningfulThe seemingly simplicity of this movie has an hypnotic effect so much so that when it ended, it left me wondering if that was it. Upon reflection, I couldn't help but be cheered by the main lead's simple motivation and the immense happiness she derived from it. One can't help and think that life is not just about big dreams but it is the simple things that keep people going especially leading a highly stressful urban lifestyle. A simple, beautiful and meaningful movie. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This)
