About me: Hong Kong Film Net is one of the largest and longest-running sites dedicated to movies from Hong Kong.
Created in 1998 as a small John Woo tribute site, it has since expanded to having over 1000 movie reviews, with almost 1800 pages of content overall. It is also home to the
Hong Kong Movies FAQ.
HKFilm.net has been referenced in books such as "Dragon: Asian Action & Cult Cinema" and on DVD commentaries like "My Schoolmate the Barbarian".
Materials on the site have also provided references for organizations like the Far East Film Festival in Udine, Italy.
But don't think that HKFilm.net is ever taking itself too seriously -- the steady beer intake of the webmaster will insure that its' virtual tongue is always firmly planted in cheek.
Along with informative sections like the biographies of dozens of stars and directors, HKFilm.net also takes a look at things like Hong Kong movie-related video games and is the home to several MST3K-esque commentaries done with buddies from fellow Asian movie review sites like City on Fire.
So, if you're a well-honed vet or a mewling newbie to the world of Hong Kong/Asian movies, step on over here and prepare yourself for the unmigitated smorgasboard of filmic delights that awaits.
Who I'd like to meet:
Anyone with an interest in movies, ones from Hong Kong in particular.
DO NOT bother messaging or adding this profile if your interest is in "trading" bootleg movies. If you can't afford $5 for a VCD, then perhaps it's time to find a new hobby.
Also, please be respectful of other people's bandwidth with your comments - don't post tons of YouTube clips or other things which tend to make the page load slowly.
"Sometimes I see myself as a clown Who's learned to fall up instead of down Some say that I'm optimistic and glad Although I've been through enough tragedy to stay mad After being tossed into hell's plans Again and again My hearts refused to not find it's way back So it's hard for me to look at you and not react I feel the need to do What I feel the need to do So,I'm creating Love Glue To help it stick to you too During hard times I'm Trying to fit the formula into rhymes keep the price down make it fun to pass round And almost impossible to put down This Might take some time But I'm working on it Like a glad scientist who knows How deep some holes can go Tragedy to me Is like a big gorilla that wants to play And won't take no for an answer It'll jump all over us So we need to be quick on our clever feet Least it get a good grip That lasts longer than we can endure Sincerity helps so I'll put in plenty of that Add a lot of love, and Laughs One big batch of that, while I'm at it Let's throw away these tired worn out cliches Never was to fond of them anyway Humm, this might take a while So I guess you'd best keep doing what you've got to do While I keep working on this, Love Glue Because I really feel I need to Like a glad scientist who knows How deep some holes can go"
.... hello !....'m always busy with work, but inside me there's always a pleasure to remember with true friendship, and where they ran clear, I'll be there. An affectionate greeting. Antonio
