MCM Expo,New films, and Hong Kong Film Festival

Yes i decided to update the blogger site ,so since last update we have of course attended the MCM eXpo in May, the show was good and fell on the hottest three days of the year. With a hall full of games to play ,stars of TV and Film appearing ,with Sunday playing Host to Film Star Danny DeVito ,who entertained the crowd with his many stories.

New reviews on site have been quite rounded in that we have covered some great films from around the Far East.
Our review of ''Inseparable '' with Daniel Wu and Kevin Spacey went live a couple of weeks back, and after receiving the full uncut version of Taiwanese epic ''SEEDIQ BALE'' ,our review went live a few days ago showcasing the Terracotta Far East Film Festival screening and the full version on DVD.

Iko Uwais in The Raid.


Also our review of the Gareth Edawards film''The Raid '' went live to after catching up with the film. The star Iko Uwais looks set to be the next big martial arts star ,but then i have been saying that since seeing ''Merantu'' 18 months back. Though everyone has been saying here have you seen the Raid ,the guys amazing. So for all you out there tellin me ,get this ''I TOLD YOU FIRST ''.

Plus we also looked at the new Tsui Hark remake of  his 1992 film ''New Dragon Gate'' ,yes we reviewed the 2D version of ''The Flying Swords of Dragon GATE 3D''  with Jet Li in the lead role.

Tsui Hark returns to Wuxia and Jet Li comes along for the Ride.


As i type we are in the middle of covering the recently announced HK15 Film Festival in London. ,for more details visit our sites calendar page where you can find the info on the festival that runs until the 14th of July at the Odeon Covent Garden in Londons Shaftsbury Avenue. More news on this shortly when we do a review of the show.
