Return of the King...

Hehehe... I couldn't help myself. Sorry... hurhur...

One more week... I can't wait.

Well, there's still Infernal Affairs 3 to idle the time away. It opens tommorrow as evident as all the posters around town had screamed out. I loved the 1st one where Andy Lau and Tony Leong faced off. The 2nd movie was a prequel whereas the 3rd acts as both a prequel and sequel to the 1st movie. Confusing? I think so too. But it features 5 of the best actors in Chinese cinema (Don't be a moron, of course Leon Lai is not included in this category; even if he won a Golden Horse award last year, playing an emotionless idiot is what he does best. If national security depended on him to emote in a movie, I say we are pretty fucked.). So, it's a must-watch I guess.

In the prequel part, it showcases Tony Leung's character, Yan's story; events that happened a year before his death whereas the sequel part of the film falls on Andy Lau's character, Ming and the consequences of his actions in the 1st movie. Leon Lai and Chen Daoming, the doode which was the Qin Emperor in Zhang Yimou's "Hero" provide the link between 2 stories.

I highly recommend the original movie, "Infernal Affairs" to my non-Mandarin speaking membersss before watching the rest of the series. It's good stuff. In addition, this last part in the series has Leon Lai as the villian, so he would have an opportunity to die a horrible death. And that, basically, is worth the price of a ticket admission.
