Wu Xia | 武侠 [ Movie Review ] ★★★★
The Pitch
Director Peter Chan is back with another movie and this time, he attempted to approach Wu Xia films (a broad genre of Chinese fiction concerning the adventures of martial artists) with a new angle. With a touch of forensic science mix with traditional Chinese medicine theory and acupuncture, he team up with Donnie Yen and Takeshi Kaneshiro to present a tale of a reclusive martial artist and his clash with an upright detective.
This film also features two interesting individuals in supporting role. Tang Wei who started her career with Lust, Caution had caught Peter Chan's attention with her performance in Crossing Hennessy. She have been cast as Donnie Yen's wife and it's been said that her performance was so good that the director had extended her role / screen time.
The other individual would be the legendary actor Jimmy Wang Yu who is well known for movies like The One-Armed Swordsman and the Chinese Boxer. A dream project come true for Peter Chan and Donnie Yen as they grew up idolizing his swordman movies.
The Plot
Liu Jinxi (Donnie Yen) with his wife Ah Yu (Tang Wei) and their sons lived a normal life in a remote village. He appeared to be a ordinary unremarkable paper mill worker until he intervened in a convenience store robbery and killed the robbers.
Detective Xu Baijiu (Takeshi Kaneshiro) is tasked to investigate this case and his detective skills gave him a hunch that there's something more than meets the eyes here. Baijiu's relentless pursuit in uncovering Jinxi's true identity and past opened a can of worms. The head (Jimmy Wang Yu) of the fearsome criminal gang "the 72 Demons" became interested in Jinxi's identity and send his killers to verify Baijiu's investigation.

The Monkey King 大闹天宫 [ Poster ]
Come 2012 summer period, we will be bombard with so many Hollywood big budget movies, it's going to be like one major movie a week, with no rest till the blockbuster period is over. This time round, it seems that China is not going to stand by the side and let the American have all the fun. In an attempt to wrestle a piece of lucrative summer blockbusters business from Hollywood, China giving us The Monkey King in 3D.
One of the most beloved story that most Asian would know by now. The catch here is that The Monkey King will be filled with Hong Kong top celebrities like Donnie Yen, Chow Yun Fat, Aaron Kwok, Kelly Chen, Gigi Leung & Ceclia Cheung.
Some of the poster image for the movie had been released and they look pretty awesome.
Can't wait till the trailer hits the internet.
