The Pang brothers return with another horror movie Re-Cycle which closed Cannes Film Festival's "Un Certain Regard" section. This visually impressive piece stars Angelica Lee who first worked with the Pang brothers in The Eye. She plays a popular author who falls into a eerily beautiful world when writing a supernatural thriller. The Pang brothers employ new CG technologies to create abandoned slums which resembles Hong Kong's long-forgotten demolished walled city, imagined color-drained hills and forests, and a suffocating tunnel with embryos hanging from above. The first half of the film delivers plenty of suspense in the same style as other Pang brothers' film. However, the second half of... [read more]

Perhaps one of the most talented musicians of the Chinese music scene, David Tao, often referred to as the godfather of Chinese R&B;, is back with his all-new full-length album. The idealist, romanticist and perfectionist, who sings, writes and composes a lot of his material, in many cases also single-handedly takes care of the background chorus and the arrangement as well as the pre-production of the master record of all his releases.
As far as his 5th album, Beautiful, is concerned, Tao expressed in a message posted in his on-line diary that its content is comparatively emotional and compassionate. Whereas his previous works were more concerned... [read more]
