The-Grandmaster
We-Are-Bruce-Lee-at-CHSA

A 3D Kung Fu Hustle too. Post-production 3D seems to work better in China than here. :rolleyes:

hmpf. Do I want to see this again just for yet another version? I've already seen it several times. I do luv 3D....:o

That's a record setter according to www.filmbiz.asia.

Perhaps that's a topic for a stand-alone thread, MightyB - films that broke the mold.

Meanwhile, back on topic here:

I don't think there were even any Chinese in the house. Were there? :rolleyes:

As the theme was 'heroes' there were some nods to Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan and Po. Also, in the obituary section,...

But it didn't make Foreign film.

I disagree. Both Life of Pi and All is Lost (probably) got Oscar nods and they were both about someone stuck on a boat. I think the problem is that martial arts films are too stuck in their own...

Right now, the martial arts genre is really ebbing. We've had very few theatrical releases here in the U.S. that could be defined as martial arts flicks and the rom-coms have taken over China. ...

NYT has been running a full-page ad saying this is back for a limited release. It's the Oscar push.

:o

Looking at the short list, Grandmaster now has a decent chance.

WKW tackling Bruce...:rolleyes:

As this is from TWC, I'm sure it's the U.S. cut.

Ok, I'm reviewing this here because the only reason I watched it was due to it being China's entry for foreign film for the next Oscars.

There is this genre of Chinese tragedies that starts from a...

Anyone here see any of these other than The Grandmaster?

It's China's submission for Foreign film, but it's still not quite a final nominee. That's the next step. Every country is submitting films to that category. I think it will get that far at least,...

I've been so focused on the potential Oscar bid that I overlooked the Asian film awards.

We didn't do too much with CTHD, but we ran a cover for Hero. We probably won't do a cover for this - too much of a gamble on the newsstands.

We saw that coming :cool:



It's down to 473 U.S. theaters and $6+ mill gross according to BOM.

It's down to 705 theaters now according to BOM.

That's a funny review, PalmStriker. As an editor, I just gotta say - You really question a writer who misspells his title, especially now in the...

To quote myself in my original review of the Chinese cut of this film:


Case & point:

Your return is some positive fallout from last weekend's website crash.

And YES, you should see this.

And just under $5 million domestic take, according to Box Office Mojo.

it's all about Z on the O.P. ;)
