This started as a DVD queue list for a friend.
It grew and grew and took on a life of its own. Oh well.

Breaking News (Cantonese / Mandarin / English)
Johnnie To directs solid Hong Kong gangster movies. This has a wicked subtext about the police manipulating the news media, smart, yet implusive cops, and the challenges of underestimating one's adversaries. Strong movie.
This is where we suggest DVDs that we have seen and liked or that friends /family may have missed. We try not to review them so much as give an impression, as if we were talking about the movie. Essentially, "You gotta watch this one." Programs are two DVDs that watched back-to-back seem to have greater resonance than watching them one at a time.
