Movie celebrities galore and more! :)

Brutal, bloody and serious --
Not your usual festive season blockbuster!

Peter Chan Ho-Sun. Chapman To. Will Smith. Akiva Goldsman. Francis Lawrence. I don't mean to gloat or brag but, really, last week was quite the week as far as being in the same room as movie celebrities go! (And you don't want to know what the week before that was like!!)

Still, before you start gnashing and grinding your teeth too much, be rest assured, dear reader, that if you follow the links provided below, you'll get access to some of what was said at my interviews with the director and producer of The Warlords, the producer and one of the cast of Trivial Matters, and the out-and-out star, writer cum co-producer and director of I Am Legend... ;b

Alternatively put, another issue of bc magazine has come out -- both in hard copy forms over here in Hong Kong as well as on-line -- and the following are my contributions to it:-

i) Peter Chan and The Warlords -- the article that is the result of *two* interviews with, as I told him to his face, the director of one of my top five favorite movies of all time (and for the record, that would be He's A Woman, She's a Man (1994));

ii) A Poor Nose -- an arts feature about The Chung Ying Theatre Company's Cantonese language (with English and Chinese surtitles) production of Cyrano de Bergerac;

iii) Daksha's Daring Dance -- another arts feature, this time about the Daksha Sheth Dance Company's BhuKham: Circus of Earth & Sky;

iv) Not So Trivial Matters -- Chapman To talks about Pang Ho-Cheung's upcoming movie (which To co-produced and can be seen playing a producer named... Chapman To!);

v) Review of The Warlords;

vi) Review of Persepolis;

vii) Review of Mad Detective;

viii) Review of I Am Legend; and

ix) The Editor's Diary for the period from December 13 to January 2.

In addition, fans of Hong Kong pop culture might wish to check out an article on Grasshopper by Kathleen Allard (another name that should be familiar to long-time Mobius Asian Cinema discussion board readers... ;b)

Happy reading? And do please feel free to say (write) so on the comments section if you do! :)
