Discover China: Stupendo Us Shanghai
Tai Seng, 2007
Too much, not enough
First of all in case you're wondering this IS basically the same video as Discover China - In Love With China, Stupendous Shanghai #1 (English Version). The titles were similar but the boxes were different a different producer was listed. There are some subtle differences at the beginning and in the menus but the meat of the video is identical. This is your typical "show video while a guy ...

Hacked up by the studio what remains is still a classic film noir - more proof of Welles' genius
Michael O'Hara (Orson Welles, with a very soft Irish brogue), an out of work seaman, has a brief encounter in Central Park with Elsa `Rosalie' Bannister (Rita Hayworth, with short blonde hair!). Later that evening they meet again when O'Hara rescues her from a mugging in progress. In gratitude, her crippled husband, Arthur Bannister (Everett Sloane) seeks out O'Hara and offers him a job as a ...

A must see!
I saw this film initially at the SF Jewish Film Festival. Before this initial viewing I was unfamiliar with the imigration of Jews to Shanghai during the holocust. The film is informative and beautifully made. A must see for WWII, hollocast and documentary film junkies.

Yee-haw good time!
These movies were even better than I remembered them. Owen Wilson is funny and charming, and Jackie Chan is as incredible as ever.

Shanghai Noon
The DVD was a gift for my sister and the first DVD sent to her was defective. Half way through playing, it stopped and went back to the beginning. I contacted Amazon and the DVD was replaced free of charge. I was very very pleased with how the whole thing was handled. Amazon even reimbursed me for the shipping I paid to return the first DVD. The second DVD plays fine and my sister is very ...

All-star cast in sprawling kung fu comedy
SHANGHAI EXPRESS (1986), one of the greatest action comedies of Hong Kong cinema, is better known as MILLIONAIRES' EXPRESS and is finally out in a beautifully mastered DVD edition for U.S. fans under this alternate title (not to be confused with the Marlene Dietrich classic of the same name). Sammo Hung (EASTERN CONDORS) both stars and directs and his frequent partner, Yuen Biao (PRODIGAL SON), ...

A Beautiful Movie About Love And Identity
I got this movie as part of the Amazon Vine program in the UK, it was one of those moments where you simply just select an item because it's free and you know that you only have to write a review for it afterwards. I chose this movie as it starred Hayden Panettiere and I've become a fan of her acting from her role as Clare in the hit TV series Heroes. I have to admit that I didn't expect much, I ...

Gangster politics in gorgeous color
This could be an American gangster movie except that it is so beautiful. Well, that and the fact that it takes place in Shanghai in the 1930s. Gong Li plays Xiao Jingbao ("Bijou") the moll, a self-centered, vain, mean, slutty songstress kept by the "Boss" (Baotian Li) of Shanghai's underworld. As usual with director Zhang Yimou every set is gorgeous and artfully planned, the story compelling, ...

A star studded cast in a kung fu movie made just for kung fu movie fans
If you are going to make a movie intended solely for kung fu movie fans then Chang Cheh would be first on the list of most wanted directors. The story is about a group of super tough dudes called the Shanghai 13 and the 13 of them have joined the side of the enemy while some are on the side of good. The good ones are supposed to protect a guy named Mr. Gau who has an important document that he ...

He is assigned to Bijou (Gong Li), a cabaret singer and girlfriend of Tang, the Triad Boss (Li Baotian). Bijou is cheating on the Boss with Song (Sun Chun), whom the Boss suspects is planning to betray him. After a bloody gang ...

Profane illumination in a Shanghai brothel
I'm utterly baffled by the critics who weren't at least partially moved by this absorbing, at once sensual and cerebral film. It presents a question utterly foreign to consumers of Hollywood fare, but also totally fascinating: what are the limits of exchange? On the surface of the movie, the answer is: there are no limits. But as the film progresses, the director has an opportunity to slowly ...

One-Night Stand
Director Fernando Trueba may not be the best known director from Spain, but his "Belle Epoque" did win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film in 1999. "Shanghai Spell" is an interesting story that moves slowly & methodically toward its potent climax. Fernando Tielve plays the main character, a 14 year-old boy with artistic flare. In his 2nd film after "Devil's Backbone" in 2001, he's an ...

Legendary Sin Cities - Paris, Berlin & Shanghai

Sin across the World
A two-DVD set for those interested in at least one form of entertainment flourishing in Berlin, Paris and Shanghai between the two world wars. Apparently sin and debauchery really knew few borders during that time. Much of the contents is illustrated commentary and I, for one, would have wished for more illustration and less commentary, e.g., more of entertainers like Josephine Baker in the ...
