Hey Bombers! Welcome back to another exciting episode of Not A Bomb. Normally, this is the podcast where we go back reexamine some of the biggest cinematic bombs of all time. This week, though, the guys pull the Hong Kong Clause which states that at any point the gang can discuss a Hong Kong film if they feel the need. The guys really really really wanted to discuss an underappreciated film from an underappreciated director. We are talking about 2004's Throw Down directed by Johnnie To, which is a personal film for To and is dedicated to the late Akira Kurosawa. Throw Down is one of the most challenging films discussed on the show. The film has so many levels and can be enjoyed as pure entertainment or as a zen parable. On top of listing all of their favorite Johnnie To films, Troy and Brad use this as an excuse to discuss Kurosawa and his debut film - Sanshiro Sugata.

Film director Pou-Soi Cheang, producer Liu Xiaoguang and actor Hai Yitian attended the premiere. The film is adapted from the first of eight chapters of the classical Chinese novel "Journey to the West" written by Wu Cheng'en in the 16th century. The film mainly tells the story of the Monkey King, played by Donnie Yen, who is determined to be a celestial being, as he tries to learn the skill of making the dead come back to life and rebels against the Jade Emperor of Heaven after being seduced by demons. Director Cheang expressed his gratitude to IMAX and his excitement towards his new film. "It should present a different visual effect to audiences. Just now, we mentioned that 3D effects make audiences feel as if there is no screen. With IMAX, the effects are better. It makes the audience more involved in the film. What's more, I want to express my thanks to IMAX for truly presenting my original imaginations and all the pictures. I am really moved that when I was busy with the post-production of the film and wasn't able to go to the U.S., my fellow colleague adjusted each scene of film with IMAX. He told me that it felt totally different and what you wanted to see have been realized in IMAX 3D. So I'm excited and hope movie goers could spend a bit more money to see the IMAX 3D version of the film. " The film stars Donnie Yen, Aaron Kwok, Chow Yun-fat, Peter Ho, Hai Yitian and Xia Zitong. Donnie Yen plays the leading role of Monkey King and Chow Yun-fat plays the role of the Jade Emperor. Commenting on the two famous film stars, film director Cheung said they did an amazing job. "Maybe the Jade Emperor played by Chou Yun-fat is different from the one you imagined. But that role features characteristics of Chou. If another actor played the role, I would not be able to imagine it like this. This time he just holds a sword and becomes a huge dragon. At the time of filming I was not sure about the final effect but it turned out to be great. The two merge into a whole. I thank him a lot. As for Donnie Yen, I could feel his efforts when making the film every day. Every time I saw him act, I knew what I am filming is about the Monkey King. He makes one feel as if he was the Monkey King." Films or TV series about the Monkey King have been made many times before. Liu Xiaoguang, producer of the film told the press that thanks to modern technology, the visual effects are much better in their new film. "To make it straight, the most difficult thing when presenting the image of Monkey King is to separate him from gravity. Before, actors turned somersaults and later they adopted rope wire. The film 'The Monkey King: Havoc in the Heavenly Palace,' actually makes use of modern digital picture technology and separates actors from gravity." The film is to hit screens on January 31st in China and many other countries and regions.

2013 has seen many Chinese actors try their hand at directing for the first time. Of these, Charlie Yeung is one of the more interesting. While most first-time directors tap the market's demand for nostalgia or bemoaning the bygone of their own youth, the Taiwan-born director has chosen a more serious topic. In courtroom drama "Christmas Rose", Kwai Lunmei plays a handicapped piano teacher who accuses a famous surgeon of sexual harassment. Zhang Zhen plays the surgeon and Aaron Kwok is the public prosecutor who does everything he can to incriminate the accused, only to discover the case is not as simple as it first seemed. The story develops in multiple suspense-filled steps according to court procedure. Many details are explained in flashbacks during the trial. The theme is unusual for a Chinese film, so the story has potential, but regrettably fails to fulfill. For example, suspect Doctor Zhou's character is incomplete. Despite efforts to show the impact of the case on his family, this doesn't develop into a compelling part of the main plot. Kwai Lunmei clearly worked hard to portray a disabled victim, but the twist at the end is a little too much. Aaron Kwok, on the other hand, conveys a powerful performance of emotional development. In fact, Aaron Kwok and Kwai Lunmei's performances clearly show the movie's failings are not due to the cast, but the story itself. Despite this the pacing works well, with each stage well-timed to maintain interest, so perhaps the assistance of producer Hark Tsui finally paid off. Compared with other directorial debuts, such as "So Young" by Zhao Wei and "Tiny Times" by novelist and businessman Guo Jingming, Yeung's movie is more personal and thought provoking. Instead of being trapped in nostalgia or watching a meaningless display of wealth, audiences may enjoy a little intellectual stimulation about something other than the contents of their dinner. "Christmas Rose" deserves a six out of ten.
