"Young and Dangerous: Reloaded&...Hi Samson --<br /><br />"Young and Dangerous: Reloaded" is hardly perfect -- and is technically often wanting. But I really like that it's got a sense of humor and also is very Hong Kong.<br /><br />I think the original series was more serious -- with much in it that could be read politically -- and often more intense.<br /><br />In terms of acting: I prefer Ekin and Jordan Chan toYTSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930487923185001591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-38039331412400659102013-01-13T12:20:39.229+08:002013-01-13T12:20:39.229+08:00Wow, now I want to see "Young and Dangerous: ...Wow, now I want to see "Young and Dangerous: Reloaded"!

They're very different movies.

I think I missed them. <br /><br />By the way, I just noticed on the side panel that "The Grandmaster" and "Young and Dangerous Reloaded" both scored 6.5. Are they really as good as each other?

Re "The Guillotines": wha...Hi ewaffle --<br /><br />Re "The Guillotines": what's a weapon to some is a symbol for others. When you watch the film, I think you will see what I mean.<br /><br />Re Wong Jing: hmmm, I wouldn't praise him as much as you -- but I will say this for him: he has a good idea what people want and he's happy to give them it! ;) YTSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930487923185001591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-90138535518715916032013-01-02T12:35:10.290+08:002013-01-02T12:35:10.290+08:00I was wondering about "The Guillotines"-...I was wondering about "The Guillotines"--you make it pretty clear why it will be worth seeing as soon as possible. It sounds as if the flying guillotine is used less as a weapon than as a symbol of Imperial nastiness.<br /><br />Wong Jing is certainly a skilled filmmaker. His major downfalls seem to be either losing interest in a movie before he has finished it or getting so distracted ewafflehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03339565669634286677noreply@blogger.com
