VIZ Media and Toei have partnered with Fathom Events to present two special ‘Sailor Moon’ premiere events.

Due to popular demand, the UK theatrical run of Wu Jing’s ‘Wolf Warrior II’ has been expanded with newly added sites and show times.

The follow-up to ‘Chi’s Sweet Home’ and ‘Chi’s New Address’ is now being simulcast on Amazon UK Video.

This is the ‘Citizen Kane’ of HK heroic bloodshed films and it never ages, even after repeat viewings.

What this film lacks in plot, it sure as hell makes up for in action and the finale of ‘A Better Tomorrow II’ is a brutal display of guns, grenades and swordplay.

As a standalone film ‘A Better Tomorrow 3’ is a fairly watchable effort thanks to an intriguing premise, but as a prequel to ‘A Better Tomorrow’ it just doesn’t quite cut it.

Great all-round entertainment that shows Stephen Chow and the Monkey King myth at their finest.

If you enjoyed the first ‘A Chinese Odyssey’, then this second part is pretty much guaranteed to please.

Lau’s modern interpretation is an extremely wild one that is often mind blowing in its visuals, but in truth it’s the heart warming love story that prevails and makes the film a very entertaining one.

Perhaps if the story were more involving or it contained better action, it might have been more appealing. As it stands though, it’s really only going to serve as a quick fix for hardcore Andy Lau fans.

Andrew Lau has a very obvious formula for making comic book adaptations and it’s one that is ultimately not very satisfying.

‘A Taste Of Killing And Romance’ may do enough to pass the time if you’re a fan of any of the actors involved but it’s certainly far from anyone’s finest work.
