Also, THE WILD, WILD ROSE isn't half bad but, for my money, the Cathay comedies generally are better than the dramas. As for SUN, MOON AND STAR: Glad you enjoyed it and yes, its female stars really are wonderful. :)YTSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930487923185001591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-40169185770040268562008-01-10T23:44:00.000+08:002008-01-10T23:44:00.000+08:00I only got to see one film at the Cathay series, W...I only got to see one film at the Cathay series, WILD WILD ROSE.

"House of D", OTOH, was disappointingly maudlin and mediocre. Still, it definitely wasn't as excruciating as the one Wong Jing (produced) movie I saw in 2007: "Beauty and the Seven Beasts".

Wong Jing movies don't look so bad compared to multi-million dollar failures like those flicks. <BR/><BR/>So why was I Don't Want to Sleep Alone only a half? You walked out or fell asleep?
