Dream of the Red Chamber '77

Set against the backdrop of the wealthy Jia clan’s slow financial decline, Jia Bao-yu falls in love with his cousin Lin Dai-yu, newly arrived from Taiwan. Their growing mutual affection gets derailed when their family’s materialistic interests and another cousin from the United States comes between them. Considered one of the four great masterworks of Chinese literature, Chiu’s adaptation reimagines this classical saga by transposing it to 1970s Singapore, featuring a largely local cast and weaving in various idiosyncratic film tropes popular at the time. In this rare rediscovery, Dream of the Red Chamber offers a unique and uncommon glimpse into early independent and transnational filmmaking in a rapidly developing post-independence Singapore.

Love Games

If you find yourself screwing a strange piece of ass who’s waaaaay out of your league and her husband happens to walk in on you and she shoots him dead — whatever you do, don’t cough up 25 G’s for her to hush it up because, my friend, you’re being scammed. It’s just the old badger game. And if you do give her money and her name is Sharon Mills (CLAUDINE BENET, an angular blonde with hefty hooters and a divine ass) then you must be Ed Garner, victim of these lewd and larcenous Love Games... Suspecting a scam, Ed — a married, middle-aged man — seeks help from private detective Rick "The Dick" Taylor,a hard-drinking, wise-cracking, ex-actor who believes there’s "nothing like getting laid in the line of duty."

As Rick says, "A woman should be obscene and not heard."

The Savage Five

A pacifist village is beset by bandits in this martial arts thriller. "Savage Five" hands-down rivals the ornateness of "Kid With The Golden Arm" and the twist-heavy "Five Deadly Venoms". The always great David Chiang plays a lesser version of his Rover character from "Duel Of The Iron Fist", and Ti Lung, looking incredible here, is at his physical best. Accolades to Chen Kuan Tai and Wang Chung in great sympathetic roles, too. A kung fu classic where the actual martial arts display takes a back seat to the mesmerizing story.
