[ THE HONG KONG INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL ]
  Like the perennial favorite tune by the Shirelles, WILL YOU STILL LOVE ME TOMORROW? has plenty of old-fashioned charm. But the film's easygoing humor, which includes references to classics such as MARY POPPINS, turns more serious with a secret that protagonist Weichung has hidden for years. Meanwhile, his wife Feng is also experiencing marital anxiety as she struggles to find fulfillment in her life. AU REVOIR TAIPEI director's sophomore work retains its effervescent sweetness despite the topic of marital breakdown.

[ THE HONG KONG INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL ]
  The industry of inventing and re-inventing the legend of Master Ip Man lives on....This one by Hong Kong's best-loved populist director Herman Yau has both feet firmly on the ground in the fighting sequences, the drama, the story-telling, and sympathies. Anthony Wong plays the Master arriving in Hong Kong in 1950. Penniless and no longer young, he teaches martial arts to working class people for a living and enters into a life-long romantic (or platonic) relationship with a songstress across a canvass of social turmoil, labor strikes, police corruption and high-handed colonial rule. A model of restraint, the Master only shows his true colours when he takes on the tyrant of the Walled City in the final fight.

[ THE HONG KONG INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL ]
  The Yang family during the Song Dynasty was the Chinese Empire's greatest military clan. The patriarch is loyal to the emperor. His loving wife has given him seven sons who all love their mother very much. When the patriarch falls prey to the scheme of a villain and is subsequently trapped by the northern barbarians, the six sons set out for the rescue. With battles scenes and single combats galore, and the seven sons played by Chinese-language cinema's hottest males (with their pretty faces and buff bodies), this is almost like The Iliad -- but with special Chinese characteristics.
