A Better Tomorrow (1986) - Hong Kong Review by Andrew ChanRecently undergone remastered work for a 4K HD release is John Woo's iconic action classic - A Better Tomorrow. The best release in terms of picture quality and sound to date, makes this a thoroughly enjoyable experience for long time fans to rejoice. Who can forget the moment when Chow Yun Fat famously burn the counterfeit US dollar note. Or the infamous Taipei restaurant scene where Chow hides guns under the plants and launches with double handed guns blazing. Or the scene where Ti Lung confronts Leslie Cheung on wanting...

Tai Chi Master (1993) - Hong Kong Review by Andrew Chan Viewing on the best possible version available, the Dragon Dynasty Blu Ray, it plays well enough on my TV screen without being perfect with the typical flaws find in many 90s Asian cinema releases.

The Japanese occupation and traitor segments seem like a totally different film...

The story centres of two particular incompatible couple who are constantly torn between, love, country and future. Alluding to Wong Kar Wai's thematic nature of meeting the wrong people and bad timing, the film succeeds in Ethan Juan and Du Juan's selfish interactions and subtle chemistry. I rated it 3/5Out on DVD and Blu Ray at: https://neofilmshop.com/search?q=new+york
