[ 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.

[ THE FILM CATALOGUE ]
  This is an epical tale about the renowned Song Dynasty’s military defense by the clan of Yang’s against the nomadic Northern nation the Liao, sometimes also known as the Khitans in ancient Chinese history account.

  Headed by a charismatic old veteran general named YangYe, the Yang Clan has been the major military force protecting the Song Empire and its people against their ever invasive neighbor. From YangYe and his wife Madame She, we witness the coming of age of their seven sons namely Ping, Ding, Ang, Hui, De, Zhao and Si throughout the various battlefields in the story. The seven young men possess different temperament and characters united under a single banner and a heart of lion.

  Yoji Yamada remakes the Yasujiro Ozu classic TOKYO STORY, which even becomes the 50th anniversary film of his director life. The new version adds the post earthquake fears and depicts modern Japan in details. It is more than a salute to its predecessor with a style of its own. After an earthquake, Mr. and Mrs. Hirayama who have lived on an island come to Tokyo to visit their three children. Eldest son Koichi runs a hospital, middle daughter Shigeko runs a beauty salon and the youngest son Shuji works in stage art designs. Although the children hope to take care of them the best they can, everyday their jobs inevitably make them neglect their parents. They thus arrange for the elderly parents to live in a luxury hotel, but the elders of course would like to be surrounded in their children's warmth. Luckily Shuji's fiance Noriko appears, her thoughtful and attentive care comforts the elders and finally relaxes them from worrying about their youngest son. At this beautiful moment, the aging mother suddenly collapses......

  Gangster-style Johnnie goes Mainland, and the result is one hell of an entry. Louis Koo is Timmy, a Hong Kong drug trafficker, while Mainland police captain Zhang, played by Sun Honglei, is out there to get him. Zhang at times succeeds in capturing Timmy, and at times Timmy slips from Zhang's grasp (or does he?). Cop and robber caught in a classical, ghostly dance; their loyalties are different but their psychologies are the same. Single-minded, brutal and almost cold-blooded, the two men will stop at nothing to destroy each other. The final bloodbath at a primary school sets a new standard for violence. Harrowing, chilling stuff from a master craftsman.
