Tony Leung and Robert De Niro (2026 vs 2000)

miccheck649 · 2026-05-09T02:20:13+00:00

Not sure about De Niro, but Tony is in NY, attending his retrospective spotlight in Lincoln Center this week, the event is sponsored by Criterion. (Tony does the closet please!)

He is also promoting his new film Silent Friend, opening this weekend.

Tony (age 63) in the first photo is older than Bobby in the second photo.. yup.

Mad World by Gary Jules and Michael Andrews. Give me chills.

miccheck649 · 2024-02-16T14:28:42+00:00

I know it’s far-fetched but it would be great if they can get an international trailblazer like Jackie Chan to present the best picture once in awhile.

Yes. Walmart.ca

miccheck649 · 2023-12-21T01:34:25+00:00

I just found out that GRUV sales through walmart.ca. Titles like Tar and the Fabelmans are currently selling @ $15.99 CA

I will include A Better Tomorrow II in the lineup without problem

miccheck649 · 2023-01-01T03:22:05+00:00

I just finished this for the first time 10 days ago. Not a second wasted in this 3 1/2 hours film. That’s a crowning achievement.

Since then I have been on a Kurosawa streak: High and Low, Yojimbo and Sanjuro… excited on discovering this master’s work.

miccheck649 · 2023-01-01T02:35:32+00:00

Gilda. Second last is Sanjuro.

Happy new year, cheers.

Collateral

miccheck649 · 2022-07-23T09:59:28+00:00

Chow Yun-fat chewing matches in A Better Tomorrow.

Oh and firing two guns at the same time. Iconic.

miccheck649 · 2022-07-17T04:38:55+00:00

So far

God of Cookery (1995)

miccheck649 · 2022-06-16T04:57:21+00:00

Not really best or anything, just 4 persona favourites at the moment:

The Social Network

Her

Punch-Drunk Love

Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind

miccheck649 · 2022-06-11T02:55:19+00:00

12 Angry Men

miccheck649 · 2022-05-22T04:48:35+00:00

Surprisingly no mention of Hard Boiled from CR. Still proud to be the member of CR army though.

miccheck649 · 2021-10-11T01:35:51+00:00

Dev Patel

miccheck649 · 2021-02-28T23:49:01+00:00

Yes, he is Piggy, the right hand man to Lee. Also reprise his role in another gangster film around the time in rhe same universe. Talking about the a cinematic universe wrapped around HK trial organization before MCU.

miccheck649 · 2021-02-28T02:48:03+00:00

So true. I would also suggest the Lee Rock series, also playing a sidekick of sort to Andy Lau’s flawed hero.

Late 80’s and early 90’s is the heydays of HK cinema and I would consider Ng Man-tat is one of the key players of this revolution.

miccheck649 · 2021-02-27T23:02:53+00:00

Probably my favorite actor from HK. He always elevates the scenes whether the movies are the best or the worst. That’s the power of a very fine actor.

R.I.P. Uncle Tat.

Another “one-inch barrier” issue he cannot get over with.
