2 men +2 women +2 children = a dumb show.
Bought this very old German comedy entitled Four For Venice at Cash Converters. 6 Days later, the lame comedy return to where it should belong: shelves where they kept restricted films.
In short, it's about 2 married couples: Nick and Charlotte, a rich couple, and Eva and Luis, a couple with 2 kids living from hand to mouth.
Charlotte had an affair with Luis. Both goes for a rendaevouz at Venice and enjoys sex. Eva discovered her hubby cheated on her, and Nick indirectly causes Eva to lose her job. She kidnaps Nick and dragged her 2 kids to Venice to prove that their spouse is cheating on each other. A draggy road trip ended up Eva saying to Luis it's time for her to chaet on him. Nick and Eva falls in love in the end.
Dumb, dumber, even more dumb. That's all i could say for the 1998 German comedy.
2 men + 1 woman + several daggers = comedy.
No wonder House of Flying Daggers has been used as the title for the comedy talk show hosted by Hossan Leong and Jonathan Lim, entitled: House fo Flying Chestnuts. Watched it once in theatres, and watched it again on video last nigth to have a good laugh. Yeah, i feel more cheerful now, thanks to Zhang Yimou's effort on using too many computer graphic for a swordfighting film, and his lame plot.
But, there's one good film that i enjoyed this weekend.
Loads of men + 1 supporting actress with less than 5 lines = The only great film that represents HK for Cannes Film Fest 05.
Johnnie To's Election puts the greed of human being onto two guys using different ways to get the position of the chairman for the 100 year old trial society.
See it for yourself, cos i am not going to spoil the whole show.
