News, Trailer, Links


"14 Blades": Daniel Lee may not be one of the best directors of Hong Kong, but the trailer for his newest movie "14 Blades" looks quite promising. Moreover, Donnie Yen is part of the cast who has played in some pretty good top-notch movies the last few years. Oh, and there is this guy called Sammo Hung playing a part in the film as well. Maybe it's worth waiting for. You can watch the trailer here. Just scroll down, start the trailer, pause it again and wait until it is completely loaded. You know the drill when it comes to websites from China...


"Three Guns": Zhang Yimou finally shoots a movie again after his excursion that were the Olympic Games! However, "Amazing Tales - Three Guns" (or "A Simple Noodle Story" which is the alternative title) won't be a second "Hero" or at least "Curse of the Golden Flower". It really remains to be seen if Zhang can strike the right chords with this comedy. Anyway, watch the trailer and form your own opinion.


"Bad Blood": Those who want to see some rough Hong Kong action again should keep an eye on "Bad Blood" from Dennis Law. Martial arts at its best seems to be in the center of the film and moreover thanks to Simon Yam the movie shouldn't be too bad on an acting level, too. More info and the trailer can be found over at the guys of Twitch.





"09/13/2009": End of radio silence. After a month of neglecting this site there will be more frequent updates now, even though in a "light" version. In another month, after my workload has shrunk to an endurable amount again, you can also expect more numerous reviews.


"Vengeance": Johnnie To goes to France! But no need to worry, besides main actor Johnny Hallyday there are a lot of well-known Hong Kong faces to be seen, e.g. Anthony Wong, Simon Yam, Lam Suet and Gordon Lam. Apart from that the film looks truelly like a Johnnie To work, which makes fans hope for another masterpiece. Check out the trailers at our colleagues' from HK Cinemagic and those who are interested can also visit the official site.


"Thirst": Park Chan-wooks ("Oldboy", "JSA") newest film around a priest, played by Song Kang-ho, who becomes a vampire, is a love story of a different kind. Even though the film may not do well in Korea, you should definitely watch the korean trailer with english subtitles at Youtube or you can visit the official english site.





"04/05/2009": Yes, despite other rumors AsianMovieWeb is still alive! There was some incredible amount of work I had to take care of, and even though there is still a lot to do for me, I have the luxury to take some little time for this site again. So expect regular updates in the future!


"Sad Dream": The new Kim Ki-duk movie. The main cast consists of Lee Na-young and Joe Odagiri. What's it about? You know, dream and reality, as well as everything that lies within these blurry lines. Simply a Kim Ki-duk movie. Either you love him or you hate him. Maybe also both... Here's the official site and a Trailer with english subtitles.


"Legendary Assassin": Behind this title there might hide a small martial arts gem from Hong Kong. No one else than Wu Jing shows his martial arts expertise in the lead, and the trailer really looks great! By the way, directors are Wu Jing himself and Nicky Li of the Jackie Chan Stuntteam. You can find the trailer here.





"10/05/2008 - Back in Business!": AsianMovieWeb (which is simply me, myself and I) is back from holidays! Having gained many a new experience, the same old problems were waiting for me at home. However, this doesn't change the fact that things will continue on this site as usual. For the unlikely case that I will find some time, it might even happen that I will write a little essay about my trip. You never know...





"10.09.2008 - AsianMovieWeb goes on Korea-holiday!": The last few weeks it was a little bit quiet and I have to apologize for that. Several reasons are to be named for that, more than anything else work, work... and let me think... work! However, now it's time for a three week absence. I'm going to Korea, and when I get back my physical and mental energies will be refilled. Hopefully. Don't nail me down to this, though.





"04.08.2008": I don't know what's going on, but for some reasons there have been some mails from readers who actually claim that they like this site! Strange things happen... So first, thanks to all those who encouraged me with their words to go on. Every webmaster needs a few nice words every now and then. Those who tell you differently don't know a thing. So, thanks for the mental support. I appreciate it.
However, there are some things, that are keeping my mind quite busy these days and make me wonder if this world maybe really is an ugly place. Ok, I'm exaggerating, but those who want to know more can kill some time with this article. But maybe you just should go out and enjoy the nice weather...


"Life is cool": Who remembers the impressive comic insertion of "Wanee and Junah"? Now, there is a film that is completely made in this style. The film has been shot with real actors, and after that every single picture has been drawn over. Visually "Life is cool" looks breathtaking, that's for sure. Trailer can be found on Hancinema.net or naturally on Youtube.


"Ong Bak 2": There is some strange news about "Ong Bak 2", which is directed by the star of the prequel Tony Jaa himself. Apparently, Jaa is stressed out and thus just has gone missing in the middle of filming! Reports say that he went into the jungle meditating. Now, director Prachya Pinkaew is supposed to wrap things up and cut the footage into a movie, even though there are still some scenes to be shot... Anyway, for those of you who haven't seen the astonishing promo trailer yet, visit the guys over at Twitch.





"18.05.2008": A little news for you. From this day forward updates will be made on Sundays. This just fits better into my severely packed weekly schedule. And before I'm asked about it: No, it wasn't intentional that there is a review about a movie called "May 18" on this very date of today out of all other possible dates. This simply shows once again that there are coincidences that can be truely scary.


"The Good, the Bad and the Weird": Finally there is a trailer to the much anticipated korean western "The Good, the Bad and the Weird" by director Kim Ji-woon ("A Bittersweet Life", "A Tale of Two Sisters"). In the main leads there are Lee Byung-hun, Song Kang-ho and Jung Woo-sung. The trailer can be seen at Youtube.





"05/04/08": I missed my deadline. I'm terribly sorry. Now, everything is going down the drain. Or maybe not? For more information about the reasons and some more words of apology read this small article.


"Wushu": Even though the news are a little bit old already, there are a few trailers you have to check out for "Wushu", a movie produced by Jackie Chan featuring Sammo Hung. You can find the trailers and more info at Twitch. The movie surely looks promising and introduces some new fresh martial arts faces.


"The Forbidden Kingdom": New update on the Jet Li/Jackie Chan movie! Apart from some cool new posters released, which you can find here here, the official site is launched, and there is also a new and extended trailer to be found there. A trailer that really makes you wonder if this movie is maybe, after all, not that much of a letdown as many expect it to be. The trailer really looks great, that much is for sure!


"Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon": As already mentioned several months ago, there is another big budget epic battle movie. This time by Daniel Lee. It is based on the famous novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and features Andy Lau, Maggie Q, Sammo Hung and Vanness Wu. Definitely check out the trailer here, or an extended and better one at, what place else, Youtube!


"Chocolate": Prachya Pinkaew's ("Ong Bak", "Tom Yum Goong") newest movie doesn't feature Tony Jaa in the cast, but instead has a leading lady with the name Nicharee "Jeeja" Vismistananda! This time the director tries to deliver a more profound story about an autistic girl. But rest assured: This is primarily a martial arts flick. And the action once again looks breathtaking! You don't believe me? Check out the trailer!


"Hansel and Gretel": Does everyone still remember the fairy tale "Hansel and Gretel"? The german fairy tale, which is one of the most popular of the Brothers Grimm selection? Well, Korea makes its own fantasy thriller based on that tale, and the pictures look absolutely gorgeous. Director Yim Pil-sung's ("Antarctic Journal") work really looks quite promising. A trailer can be found here.


"Mad Detective": It's time to help promote Johnnie To's newest HK-thriller! The cast consists of Lau ching Wan, Lam Ka Tung and Andy On. As not the be expected otherwise the picture looks pretty good! You can get the trailer here. (Thanks to 24framespersecond.net for the info.)


"The Forbidden Kingdom": Formerly known as the "J & J Project" there is finally a trailer to the movie. Although the film by director Rob Minkoff is titled a kids movie, and even though leading actors Jet Li and Jackie Chan found only little words of praise, yet, the trailer still looks quite appealing. Time will tell if the movie is any good at all, but the trailer can be found at Youtube, nonetheless.


"Shamo": From the same filmmakers, who did the gritty action thriller "Dog Bite Dog" comes the live adaption of the manga "Shamo". In the main lead is Shawn Yue, and the movie once again looks very dark and dirty. Director Soi Cheang surely tries his best to revive Hong Kong cinema. Trailer can be seen on Youtube.


"L - Change the World": The Spin-off movie to "Death Note" has its own internet presence now. Just click at the first link at the bottom of the official page to watch the trailer. The link can be found here.


"Bullet and Brain": Very unexpectedly a trailer emerged for a promising looking HK-actionfilm. The movie's cast includes such well-known names as Anthony Wong, Francis Ng and Eric Tsang. The cast gets complemented by probably soon-to-be stars Alex Fong Lik-sun and Tang Yan. You can watch the trailer here. As always when visiting the "Sina"-site: Press the Pause button and wait until the trailer has been downloaded completely before you watch it.





"06.10.2007": I just needed a little bit of space for my own this time. There are some small changes on the site, mainly the addition of a new category: The TV Series directory. Little by little, I will add reviews about, who would have thought, TV drama shows, fantasy series and whatevery there is in shape of a TV series. Therefore, this update almost solely focuses on this new category, which means that there are three new reviews this week. More to come. Furthermore, I try to reserve a little bit more time and space for the soundtracks corner, as some of you might have noticed already. Well, as far as I'm concerned that's it for now about infos that most likely no one else but me is interested in.


"Triangle": The long awaited collaboration between Hong Kong's first-class directors Tsui Hark, Ringo Lam and Johnnie To finally yields fruits. In "Triangle" each of them contributed a 30-minutes movie, of which every one continues the story of the former. If this movie doesn't deserve the tag "Can't wait to see" which does? There is an official site up and running and there is also a trailer you can download here.(Thanks to twitchfilm.net for the info).


"The Detective": Oxide Pang's new promising movie isn't a horror flick as to be expected from him, but a thriller with a supposedly entangled story. The film's main protagonist is played by no one else than Aaron Kwok. You can watch the trailer here.
