Throw raw eggs at me if you want, with 4 Academies, “the departed” is just no as good as the Chinese original.
I finally watched it, years after it’s sweeping success in Academy, all because I liked the Chinese original “Internal Affairs” better. So, finally, I watched it. The conclusion is: It’s not as bad as I was worried, but certainly not
Prime suspect (1991-2006)
I watched part of Prime Suspect 7 two years ago on PBS. It was quite refreshing. It also made me a solid fan of Helen Mirren. Surprisingly Netflix has all 7 seasons! So starting from the very first one, where
The Pillow Book (1996)
My initial draw into the film was Ewan MeGregor, and that was satisfied of course…plenty of delicious naked Ewan. Hehe. Another draw was the imagery. Beautiful visual work. There are several things that bother me: the picture in picture was

Strictly Sexual (2008)
Well, first of all, don’t ask me how I come across this movie … and don’t tell my mother … Secondly, I love it! Brilliant story telling and what a dynamite cast! Funny and moving! 4 people, only 4 people,
