I love the fusion of East meets west. Chinese and western, mixed in a pot in the most beautiful city in the world. The art, Kung Fu, Triad!, fashion, movies... everything <3 <3 <3 Hong Kong has it's own culture. Why can't they theme their amusement parks with Hong Kong/chinese infuences, rather than turning it into Hollywood II? Avenue of Stars is just Hollywood Boulevard II, weren't they creative enough to do something better rather than just copy? In England we have Camilot, themed on the history of Sir Lancelot and the British medievel period. Alton Towers, the largest in theme park in UK, another British theme. I'm happy to say my country doesn't need American theme parks. Fluffy little cute characters to replace our realities that are not perfect?!?! Come on now... Disneys Board meeting went something like this:- Managing Director: How can we get even MORE money? Project Manager: Well, errr.... China's economy is like booming boss, and there's like errr... a lot of people there. Like a squillion, dude. Managing Director: Excellent. Our name will sell it, build it as small and quickly as you can. One more step towards world domination! Open another Champaigne. Project Manager: errr.... ok boss. (a similar conversation to the one at Starbucks when they opened in Forbidden City)

Hi. Elcabron, I am terribly sorry. My favorite Hollywood movie are Brave Heart, Pearl Harbor and Legend of Fall; while for Chinese movies, my favorite are Farewell, my concubine, Eternal affairs and In the ashes of Time. My favorite Hollywood movie stars are Brad Pit, Jude Law and Julia Roberts; while for the Chinese movie stars, my favorites are Tony Liang, Andy Lau and Maggie Cheung.(Maybe my spelling is not that accurate, sorry)

After I left university and begun to work I hardly saw movies. I'm not sure about the reason. Maybe I am busy and tired or maybe those movies, especially the new ones make me feel disappointed, for most of the time. :)

Hi, there. I am HK Chinengish from London.I work in and out Beijing/HK/Europe.I reckon Music and Movie are storying telling. Good movie just impressed everybody. Chinese movie makers like sponge absorbing everything from outside, esp HK. Sooner or Later, you will find some breathtaking new one coming. When I stay in Beijing, I just can't stop jumping TV channel just to catch all fascinating stuff in local culture.Once they find a way to convey it in English, you guys will be amazed.

Sad ending are all for breaking your heart, try to watch the "Big foot womman teacher" it's nice, warm and touching. Also "My father and My mother from Zhang ziyi.

They think that such kind of movies are boring and unreal, a little bit ridiculous in this material world. However you think it nice and warm. Great!! :)
