I'm using this free space (thanks Lycos!) to spread a little of my enormous ego about. Wong Fei Hong isn't really me, of course: the real Wong died in 1924 and was a righteous and intelligent man. No one is themselves on the internet, so if you're going to pretend to be someone, it might as well be someone interesting and who can't sue.
I'm going to be talking about gigs, records, movies, dvds, books, tv shows... basically whatever trivialities or art poke at my brain enough to have it retort with praise/stinging criticism. I won't be bothering with the mediocre.
My first undertaking will be an attempt to catalogue a series of brief reviews of Hong Kong cinema. I've seen hundreds of films from Hong Kong, good and bad, and I'll be attempting to spread the love here. It's really intended as a primer or reference rather than an in-depth analysis, but I'll be looking at the important works in more detail later on.
Reviews for 'H' are up 28/01/03, 'I' coming soon... Patience is a virtue! |
