I havent watched any Asian films lately so here are ten more Hong Kong posters from that calendar I picked up. The thing that fascinates me about these posters from the 1950s/1960s is how it indicates just how varied Hong Kong film was back then. I have been of a mind set of late that films from that period and before (from any film industry)...

It struck me that I have put up film posters from Japan, Thailand and Korea but not really from Hong Kong, my first and abiding love in Asian cinema. I also realized that I had picked up this amazing calendar from the HK Film Archives that has a poster for each day and a bit of information on each film. It's a real treasure and I hope it doesn't...

...movies. But there was some structure around that and I now find myself with no discipline and find one excuse after another to put off writing and accessing my brain. It is so much easier to take a long walk in the park, watch the Boston Red Sox on TV or even read a book. But that is all going to change! Someday. But here are a couple updates...

Here is another film in the series From Beneath the Living Room Table Obscure and Forgotten HK Films . There does in fact seem to be a DVD available for New Kids in Town out there, but it is somewhat suspect. It was put out by Eastern Heroes and double billed with the odd sleazy choice of Escape from Brothel so my guess is that it is not...

...movies and no DVDs in which to complain about anamorphic layering whatever that is If you were an Asian film fan, finding tapes of heard about films was a treasure hunt as you scoured through all the video stores in Chinatown in hopes of getting a score. You were thrilled to find any tape of the film no matter what generation it was or what...
