  Ode To Gallantry

  Action, Comedy, Drama, Martial Arts  •  Hong Kong

  Perhaps not what one might be expecting from all those involved but nevertheless ‘Ode to Gallantry’ is another solid Cheh flick buoyed by a fantastic lead performance from Philip Kwok.

  In Between Loves

  Comedy, Crime, Thriller  •  Hong Kong

  A partial remake of ‘Eyewitness’, the flawed, but diverting 1981 William Hurt/Sigourney Weaver thriller, ‘In Between Loves’ starts with promise only to quickly lose it all.

  Shaolin Boxers

  Action, Drama, Martial Arts  •  Hong Kong

  Frivolous of plot it may be but director Huang Ta makes up for the lack of narrative meat by stuffing the film with superb fight action.

  Crazy Nuts Of Kung Fu

  Action, Comedy, Martial Arts  •  Hong Kong

  The finale offers a solid conclusion to a production that has promise but never quite delivers on it – ‘Crazy Nuts of Kung Fu’ is never really the kung-fu buddy film you hope it will be.

  Doctor Vampire

  Action, Comedy, Horror  •  Hong Kong

  A fangtastically (sorry!) fun and extremely silly film is a great time for those looking for a creatively made comedy with a dash of cool supernatural action.

  Mama’s Affair

  Drama  •  Hong Kong

  It’s another story about the quiet drama of everyday life despite being set in the music industry and while Hong Kong keeps making films that stay true to their roots, I’ll always be watching.
