[Many thanks to good friend Anita Wong - gone now on a lengthy sojourn to Taiwan - for passing along this review of John Woo’s Red Cliff.]

I grew up on a healthy diet of John Woo films, back in his heyday, when every film was a masterpiece. As a child, I used to think that Chow Yun Fat had surgically implanted a toothpick between his teeth, and that someone had sewed a pair of guns to his hands the way mothers sew mittons to coats. Whenever he was standing in a scene, I would have to tilt my head, because he just didnt seem right unless he was on his back or flying sideways through the air, guns ablazin’. My cousin and I would reinact all the scenes where Chow and [the other guy] would point guns at each other’s head while spouting calm, witty dialogue; sometimes we would spin in circles to emulate the camera moving round and round the pair.

Next is Dragonball, and man do the kids are cra-cra-crazy about any mention of the movie adaptation of this manga series, which stars Justin Chatwin, Emmy Rossum, and Chow Yun-Fat.

Dragonball probably won't move from its April 10th release date, although it wouldn't absolutely shock me; that's awfully close to summer. We'll see how advance buzz is in the next few months, but I still think they'll leave it where it is.
