Sam Hui

I've Been watching Sam Hui's movie, The Private Eyes, while Jonah sleeps. Even though Sam Hui is more famous as a singer than say, a martial artist, his moves are good enough. I've noticed that actors that can act and do a little bit of martial arts, usually ends up making a better movie than martial artists in a movie, who don't particularly know how to act. This movie is a comedy from the 70's, and it's just great. When you watch the big budget HK /mainland Chinese movies nowadays, they have a lot of great actors, who are really experienced, but the movie itself usually is something you have to just meet them half way on. The plots won't make sense, it seems like they just couldn't edit out parts that they should have. All in all the modern Chinese movies are almost like a film student got a hold of a big budget and made a movie, and was kind of lazy about it. I'm not saying all the movies from the 70's were good. A lot of them were terrible too, but those usually weren't high budget. Anyway, back to watching my movie.
