• Wong Kar-Wai Chooses His Action Lady: Song Hye-Gyo

  
  Twitch — Authority: 668
  Ha... Last time we dealt with Miss Song, quite the peculiar shitstorm ensued: we snarkily mentioned a Chinese news report claiming that Song Hye-Gyo and Wentworth Miller would join Donnie Yen and Tony Jaas 急先锋 (Vanguard), then some Korean "journalists" passed our piece through the good ole Babelfish, which ...

• Pushing Avatar off a Red Cliff

  
  Geek Buffet — Authority: 99
  Zoe Saldana in Avatar Hype for film technological breakthroughs is apparently still what leads us into the cinema these days… next to word-of-mouth, of course.  Fortunately for Avatar (2009), it has both – its opening weekend has easily smashed all existing box office records for a 3D film, and has its eyes ...

  Bit of the good ole Chinese-style publicity stunt today on Chinese news portals, with more casting news concerning Wong Kar-Wais upcoming Yip Man biopic 一代宗师 (The Great Master) . Its not the news most everyone was waiting for - a confirmation on the Brigitte Lin issue, or lack thereof - but I guess its good ...

• John Woo’s Epic Film…Red Cliff. Civil War in Ancient China

  
  Wig-Wags — Authority: 111
  Every once in a while, a movie comes along that takes the visual depiction of battle to a new level ( Braveheart , Saving Private Ryan ).  John Woo’s epic film, Red Cliff, does just that. Based on the actual Battle of Red Cliffs (see the Red Cliff Wiki here ) that took place in the winter 208 CE, the film ...

• Red Cliff – Enlish Movie Review

  
  Cinefundas.com - One Stop Cinema Portal — Authority: 150
  John Woo has set himself a new challenge in “Red Cliff,” and that’s to be as old-fashioned as possible. Returning to his roots after a stint in Hollywood, Woo has made the most expensive film in mainland Chinese history, a pleasantly traditional picture that marks a new direction for one of the world’s premier ...

• Snap Judgements: The Blind Side; Red Cliff; The Messenger

  
  Punch Drunk Critics — Authority: 140
  Few sports dramas pack as much heart and genuine emotion than The Blind Side, based on the book The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game by Michael Lewis. It tells the true story of Baltimore Ravens OL Michael Oher, who grew up mostly alone and homeless, until he was taken in by the well-to-do Touhy family, led by ...

• Film Spotlight: RED CLIFF

  
  Imprint TALK: Fresh Asian Pop Culture Blog — Authority: 123
  The Three Kingdoms era is one of the most romanticized periods of Chinese history ever.  The Three Kingdoms consisted of Wei, Shu and Wu.  This period has been the source material for operas, folk stories, novels, films, television dramas and video games.  My personal experience with the Three Kingdoms eras comes ...

  Match Cuts — Authority: 116
  This week at Gone Cinema Poaching, I consider John Woo’s Red Cliff, albeit the US release that runs about half as long as the 5 Hour Chinese Cut. The film has its merits, but is ultimately far too incomplete to consider worthy.Posted in 2008 Releases Tagged: John Woo, Tony Leung [...]

• Theatrical Review: RED CLIFF (CHI BI)

  
  gordonandthewhale.com — Authority: 522
  Rating: 8/10 Most people only know John Woo from his American films. This includes movies like FACE/OFF and BROKEN ARROW, which, although they offer plenty of action, don’t do the director justice. If you haven’t seen his pre-Hollywood stuff, do yourself a favor and add A BETTER TOMORROW or HARD BOILED to your ...

• The Movie Review: Turkey Day Roundup

  
  The New Republic - Health Care Feed — Authority: 691
  The biggest film of the year opens this week, though you may be forgiven if you haven’t heard about it, as it has committed the unpardonable sin of being in Chinese. John Woo’s historical epic Red Cliff is the most expensive and highest-grossing film ever made in China, and that nation’s most emphatic ...

• Days of Being Wild

  
  Not Just Movies — Authority: 498
  Wong Kar-wais first film, As Tears Go By , was a cookie-cutter crime drama that borrowed heavily from Scorseses Mean Streets but left out all of the originals flair. It did, however, introduce some of the directors visual preoccupations, chiefly his expressive color palettes. But it was his second feature, Days of ...

• Red Cliff Review

  
  Buzzine — Authority: 506
  The US version of Red Cliff is a fine film that proves that Asian production values can stand toe to toe with Hollywood. It has everything anyone could want from an epic war movie, including insurmountable odds, real warfare tactics and satisfying personal duels. Red Cliff , however, bizarrely depreciates in ...

• Red Cliff

  
  BrandonFibbs.com — Authority: 121
  Many people see Red Cliff as Hong Kong actioneer John Woo’s return to form. I’m not one of them. John Woo has never once made a film I’ve liked, though he has made at least one I’ve detested. For me, Red Cliff is not John Woo returning to form, but entirely redefining himself, transforming both his ...
