THE 33D INVADER [蜜桃成熟時33D]

LOVE YOU YOU [夏日樂悠悠]

THE WOMAN KNIGHT OF MIRROR LAKE [競雄女俠秋瑾]

MURAL [畫壁]

LIFE WITHOUT PRINCIPLE [奪命金]

West Screen:

None this week

After a week hiatus due to technically issues beyond our control, the show has returned. An in an effort to keep current with everything Hong Kong has to offer, we focus on five East Screen features. Starting off is the Category III (somewhere between R and NC17) film THE 33D INVADER 蜜桃成熟時33D. We then switch to a more mundane romantic comedy with Angelababy's latest LOVE YOU YOU [夏日樂悠悠]. Next is the docu-action-biopic of Qui Jin, THE WOMAN KNIGHT OF MIRROR LAKE [競雄女俠秋瑾]. Then things turn to the mythic with MURAL [畫壁] and finally heading back to a film all about Hong Kong with LIFE WITHOUT PRINCIPLE [奪命金]. To help us take on all of this filmic food, we are joined by Michael Suen of www.21cb.net . And since it is our first show since the passing of Steve Jobs, we each take a moment to share some of out thoughts about the man who reshaped culture for much of the world.
