"A Story of Floating Weeds" (1934)
"Floating Weeds" (1959)
An itinerant actor returns with his troupe to the town where twenty years before he fathered a son. In 1959 the incomparable Yasujiro Ozu remade his 1934 silent with sound and color. The biggest difference between them is in the character of the actor, who's a bit of a butt-scratching rube in the first, but more hard-bitten in the second. Both films display Ozu's signature simplicity and heart-rending insight into humankind. |

Snatch
Starred by Jason Stathan, Brad Pitt, Benicio Del Toro
SNATCH - a diamond heist gone helter-skelter, the rough and tumble world of unlicensed boxing, a colourful Irish gypsy and.....a dog
Diamond thief and courier Franky Four Fingers (Benicio del Toro) arrives in London en route to New York to deliver a huge diamond to boss Avi (Dennis Farina). In his mission to offload smaller stones to Avi's cousin, Doug 'the Head' (Mike Reid) and other local Hatton Garden jewellers, he is tempted into placing a bet on an illegal boxing bout by Boris 'The Blade' (Rade Serbedzija). Little does he know that Boris has set him up - and local pawnshop owners Vinny (Robbie Gee) and Sol (Lennie James), along with their getaway driver, Tyrone (Ade) are to rob him at the bookies.
Meanwhile, novice unlicensed boxing promoters, Turkish (Jason Statham) and his business partner Tommy (Stephen Graham) move into the 'big time' through a fight with local kingpin villain, boxing promoter and pig farm owner, Bricktop (Alan Ford). But when the novice's fighter is knocked out by Mickey O'Neill (Brad Pitt), a wildcard Irish gypsy boxer, the boys convince him to fight in their boxer's place in Bricktop's rigged match.
But, Mickey proves to be highly unreliable and the duo find themselves in trouble as the fearless fighter refuses to "go down in the fourth" as planned. Fortunately, the gypsy's prowess and technique impress Bricktop - saving all three from his pig farm - but Mickey has to fight again - and has to get it right - since Bricktop is not afraid to use brutality and bloodshed to make his point.
In New York, news that Franky has been waylaid by the bookies sends Avi into a tailspin and he and his henchman hop on a plane to London. They hire local legend, 'Bullet Tooth' Tony (Vinnie Jones) to find Franky and the diamond. The sorry fate of the diamond courier is soon discovered and the hunt for the missing stone launches everyone into a madcap spiral, which threatens to spin out of control….
Double-crossing, double bluffing and double-dealing abound as different parties pursue personal agendas - all of them illegal, some of them farcical and most of them destined to end in blood, pain and retribution. As plans go haywire and tempers fray, dogs, diamonds, caravans, boxers and assorted weaponry get swept up into a chaotic free-for all.
Funny, hilarious, thrilling and full of actions. |

The Onion Movie
I have always been entertained by The Onion, they provide some interesting political satire. So when it was announced they were going to make a movie about it I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it turned out to be more of their usual and entertaining sarcasm. Think The Daily Show but turned into a very funny movie with Steven Segal in parts of the movie, a lot of dry humor that keeps the laugh goings. Don’t expect an Oscar for this movie, but if you want to laugh then this is the choice. |

"Hancock"
Will Smith dials down the charisma and delivers a convincing portrait of a self-loathing, hard-drinking, bullet-proof black man with a bad attitude who can fly. The only unbelievable part is that someone as surpassingly beautiful as Charlize Theron can act, too.
"Planet of the Apes" (2001)
A Tim Burton turkey-burger. |

"The Ring"
Alfred Hitchcock's fifth feature, filmed in 1927, is impressively fresh. The heavyweight champ may or may not be having an affair with the wife of his sparring partner, who eventually rises through the ranks to become the challenger and meet his rival in the ring. Artfully told and full of clever effects that would hold up in any movie made today, I was expecting a creaky curiosity and saw a minor masterpiece.
"Champagne"
A flute of sweet and fizzy from Alfred Hitchcock. Flapper heiress flys to the Mid-Atlantic to board the ship that carries her boyfriend. Inventive and farcical filmmaking follow. 1928. |

^ In my local dvd dealer's cardboard box on the NW corner of Biyun Lu and Huangyang Lu in Jin Qiao. Both "The Ring" and "Champagne" are on the same disc, a pirated French import from Studio Canal. |
