Haven't seen it yet, but once I do I'll add it to the review queue, which runs maybe 15 films long. I may have to give up on some of these. films. Udine is fun, but my photo blog will probably have to consist of pictures of food, because that's what been taking pictures of. It's more exiting than the actual films. I hope to one day post again on this blog. Whoops, it is Law Wing-Cheong directing this one. Haven’t seen it yet, but once I do I’ll add it to the review queue, which runs maybe 15 films long.

films.

Udine is fun, but my photo blog will probably have to consist of pictures of food, because that’s what been taking pictures of. It’s more exiting than the actual films.

I hope to one day post again on this blog.

The first installment of PTU - TV series is indeed directed by Law Wing-cheong, as presented on the Udine FEFF website. That site also has a very short review of this PTU.

In reality, it's somewhat different than that description - and that's probably all I can say about it. It would be great if I did get paid to watch movies, but that's not what YesAsia does. The most obvious benefit I get from the job is a Work Visa to stay in Hong Kong. Other than that, I consider the job a large learning experience. My trip to Italy is more personal than business. I do have some work interest in going, but mostly it's for myself, and because I made a minor contribution to their fest catalog. In my adult life, I have never been directly paid for any of my film review work. I once got $40 a review from the San Jose Mercury News, but that was when I was a "Teen Reviewer". I think that was back in the seventies or something. Hi gabriel, I'll be flying to Udine. The fest organizers are arranging the hotel for me. Other than that, I'm sort of in the dark. Hi wakawaka, I'm not sure I understand your request. Are you asking if I can separate my recommendations into genre? Like recommended commercial films versus smaller pictures? I guess that would be a good topic for this blog. I'm starting to run out of material anyway. Time to bring back the Edison Chen jokes.

It seems a pretty small place. Out of interest, how are you getting to Udine and where will you be staying? It seems a pretty small place.

It'll be an experience all right. Wow, according to the festival site, a whole bunch of Milkyway luminaries will be there on 26 April. It’ll be an experience all right.

Can I join? and also have time to go to HKIFF and Udine? Also, I was wondering, maybe when you have time, can you separate commercial fluff to more artsy/independent pieces that you recommend? it'd be really nice to discover another side of hong kong cinema. wow…what job do you actually have at yesasia?
