Interview: Legendary Tony Leung Becomes ‘The Grandmaster’
Submitted by BrianTT on August 26, 2013 - 4:30pmCHICAGO – Tony Leung is a living legend. The man has appeared in too many important films of the last several decades to count, being one of the muses for icons like John Woo (“Hard Boiled,” “Red Cliff”), Andrew Lau (“Infernal Affairs,” which was remade into “The Departed”), and, most of all, Wong Kar-Wai.
Blu-Ray Review: ‘Hard Boiled’ Stands as Riveting Action Classic
Submitted by BrianTT on December 15, 2010 - 11:03pmCHICAGO – John Woo changed my life. I was just the right age when I saw “The Killer” and “Hard Boiled” that they blew my mind. Wait, you mean not all foreign films look like Jean-Luc Godard? I was young enough that I thought foreign meant boring. There’s NOTHING boring about the prime of John Woo and one of his best, “Hard Boiled” has now been released on Blu-ray. And it still blows my mind.
