After all, Charlene Choi is on the cusp of becoming an oldtimer; time marches on. Good to see you back on the web.

The CGI on The Promise were laughibly bad, but the story was ok and I thought Nic Tse did a good job. It doesn’t achieve great height, but it’s an ok Friday night.

I don’t mind you talking about older actresses, but I hope you won’t neglect younger ones. After all, Charlene Choi is on the cusp of becoming an oldtimer; time marches on.

A little update about Flora Chan:
She was married to her manager Mike Chung Ka Hung last year.
Career wise, she had a mainland tv series “Wolf Smoke” 《狼烟》with Gallen Law Kar Leung. She probably will be back to TVB second half of this year.

On HK movies:
Suzie Au, well known mv director in the ’90s, has a movie “Ming Ming”, starring Zhou Xun. It will be shown in HK film festival later this month.

I read some news about Maggie Shiu’s movies. (Can’t wait for the TACTICAL UNIT).
Aren’t all the mentioned movies shot last year? And as far as I know, she has the lead role in TACTICAL UNIT only. Looks like her major is still in the tv series.

Christine Ng has been filming ‘Welcome to the House’ for most of last year, a long TVB sitcom (Virtues of Harmony style). It had relatively low ratings, and it’s about to finish airing. In between she filmed another series at the same time (CIB, which is good) and apparently spent so much time at the studio that she just started bringing toiletries so she could brush her teeth etc at work.

I quite like news on older actresses, that’s where the talent is anyway (ok - so abit of a generalization).

Jessica Hsuan filmed a series in Singapore and is currently filming TVB's THE DRIVE OF LIFE and is apparently on the market! I wonder how Maggie Shiu has that much time to do all her movies when she is filming a massive 80 episode series for TVB along with Ada Choi and Gigi Lai, I guess unless she dies half way into the series. As for Stephen Chow, I would think he is working on the post-production work for YANGTZE RIVER 7. There was a delay when the lead actress had some cosmetic eyelid surgery right before filming and Stephen and the producers did not like the new look and had to look for a replacement in the last second. <br/><br/>I am surprised that Kozo deemed BATTLE OF WITS as essential viewing when it didn't even make it to his top 10 of 2006. MY MOTHER IS A BELLYDANCER is good and interesting but ultimatly not great. Also I read some good reviews about CRAZY STONE (from China) but have not had the chance to watch it yet (too busy watching reruns of TVB's STATE OF DIVINITY (aka THE SMILING, PROUD WANDERER) staring Jackie Lui, which is surprisingly very well done so far.) Oh Sanney, you just have a thing for the older ladies, I’m there with you man, nothing to be ashamed about…
