Since the last update, I’ve written the following new subscription-only reviews at The Chinese Cinema: Septet: The Story of Hong Kong, The King of Wuxia, the Running Out of Time series, A New Old Play, Lethal Panther, Lethal Panther 2, the Tiger Cage trilogy, The Best of the Martial Arts Films, The Novelist’s Film, Righting Wrongs, and Detective vs. Sleuths. I reviewed Yuasa Masaaki’s Inu-Oh at Seattle Screen Scene. Over at InReview Online I wrote about Tsai Ming-liang’s The Night, and a bunch of festival movies: Decision to Leave, Broker, We Are Still Here, The Roundup, Legendary in Action!, Confession, Hansan: Rising Dragon, Mercenaries from Hong Kong, Just Remembering, The Mole Song: Final, Shin Ultraman, and Nothing Serious.
