For this Halloween, I have a recommendation. A bit silly, a bit gory, and surprisingly deep, Mad Fate is one of the few horror films coming out of Hong Kong that is genuinely great. In this video, ...

2023-10-09 02:25:24 +0000 UTC View PostIt has been a while! Since I've completely ran out of Christmas movies for this holiday season, let's make something you'll enjoy instead. Here are the options:
So, my "office" is in the basement, which I shared with a roommate that is a spider. I have never met the little guy, but everyday I'd find new spider webs on the window sill.
That's the anec...

A bit different from the usual films we covered on this channel, but not a surprise pick. Rush Hour has been a big part of my formative years, and it's only right I cover it some day. Maybe one day...

So here is a video that's much more personal than my usual stuff. Today, the cinema going experience is fairly similar in most places. We all go to a multiplex, and a few dozen people all share a b...

It's the end of an era, as after this one, there'll be no other bad Chinese movies nearly as influential for me to talk about.
Which means... I'll move on to bad movies from other countries.<...

Just a quick health update: You may have noticed I didn't post a new video or post our script this week. That's because I've been feeling sick for the past week. It's nothing major, just headache, ...

In a way, I think the release of McDull marks the beginning of the post-2000s Hong Kong cinema. Movies made in Hong Kong became much more interested in domestic topics. Gone were the days of intern...

I don't know if anyone beside me care about this. Microsoft has changed the default Office font from Calibri to Aptos. And I have to say, it's... not my favourite. Not that Calibri is all that pret...

If I become exceptionally productive in the next few days, that's probably because the Quebec wild fire is making the air practically unbreathable here in Montreal. I can't go outside.
Yes, those actually exist!

Currently every friend is telling me to immigrate to Hong Kong, so I can see them easily, while also be able to continue doing YouTube.
It's very tempting, especially the food.
