Old Boy - Park Chan-Wook

One of these days I will write some article about the fantastic Korean movie Old Boy but for now I just wanted to show this magnificent picture from the movie!

Fabulous pictures in the world

I want to try to post every day or once in two days some very beautiful pictures who are made somewhere in the world. Today I will show one of the show of the National Chinese Theatre at Berlin, Germany. Another one of a model wearing a huge bracelet of massive gold and the third picture will be of the Chinese gymnast (Yang Wei) with his girlfriend and former gymnast (Yang Yun). I will post many pictures of athletes (not sport pictures) due to the countdown to the Olympics being held in Beijing (497 days to go)

Zhang Jingchu

After watching Jade warrior on sunday I got a bit curious about the actress that plays in it, Zhang Jing Chu. She seems to me a very confident actress who has a great charisma when she is on the white screen. Has anyone seen more of her movies? I know she acts in the movie called 'Peacock' (Qi Jian) and hear her acting was very good in that movie as well, but I've never seen it. I also know she will act in Rush hour 3, but I'm not the biggest fan of those movies I have to say.
Well, she is called the third Gong Li or the second Zhang Ziyi and I predict her a great future too, she seems to be a very talented actress.

Tommi Eronen / Zhang Jingchu

Today I finally had the oppurtunity to watch Jade Soturi (Jade warrior) in the cinema! Well I have to say it was great, fantastic epic story about good and evil. The first Finnish martial arts film ever made, with brillaint acting of Tommi Eronen and Zhang Jingchu. She does look so pretty in this film!!
I loved the magic feeling it gave, superb camera work of beautiful nature and villages. I can only strongly recommend this film to anyone, but beware the story isn't too simple again (which is great by the way). the story takes place in contempory Finland (Suomi) and China of 200o years ago. The story is based on the the national epic 'Kalevala' (a famous Finnish epic poem filled with legends and lore.) It's about a device that is called the 'Sampa' which is said to be the hidden source of happiness.
The fusion of Finnish and Chinese culture makes it very special to watch, when will it be out on dvd??
