Who Is Albert Woo? (2003)
Asian Men Make-Over
This is a cool social documentary about the stereotypical images of Asian Men as viewed by a primarily Western standpoint. Seldom has a serious subject be treated with such insight and fun. The episode with Jackie Chan is a blast. All the other Asian men in the film allow us to obscure and deconstruct the usual enigma that they have been "pigeon-holed" in. The other Asian men showcased include a 1930s Yo-Yo Champion, a World War Two veteran/Romeo, a cool Standup artist and an renown Indian actor and shrink. And last but not least, the all time Mr Asian man himself - Bruce lee. This really a cool doc. I saw it in Australia and would recommend it to anyone who dig good but serious documentary. Yes, the real Asian Men are ready for their close-ups.
1st Bite (2006)
innovative
Like the film a lot. Don't know what to expect at first. It switches from comedy to action to horror to drama... That's the fun of watching this kind of film. But at the end, I totally love the roller-coaster.
It's very different in its approaches to many basic themes like love, food and soul-mates... and even Buddhism. The mythology element is pretty cool and though I'm not from Thailand, I find it very special. My friend from Taiwan told me about the Lovers Rock story which is quite similar to this. The "Full Moon" Party scenes are dazzling...
One should let go of the conventional expectation with "1st Bite"... Then you'll really see what the film can take you... Bravo!!!!
