At long last East Screen gets a chance to cover Ann Hui’s A SIMPLE LIFE [桃姐]. Then for West Screen we take a trip to Barsoom to visit JOHN CARTER. Finally I introduce Kevin to one of the greatest gifts to soundboards of all time, Michael Wong in the 1994 film WHATEVER YOU WANT [珠光寶氣].

I can’t wait to see “A Simple Life”! It’s coming to theatres in selected cities across North America sometime in early April. This movie actually screened in Toronto WAY back in September 2011 for the Toronto International Film Festival and I could’ve seen it then. But I had a tight schedule, having to work on the upcoming “Total Recall” in between and quite frankly speaking, I was getting tired out. So considering the fact I don’t want to watch a film in a tired condition, I decided to skip that screening and stick with “Life without Principle” instead. “A Simple Life” is said to be coming out April 13th in North America.
Since this is slowly but surely becoming the unofficial podcast of Michael Wong, I wondered if you guys had any thoughts on the New Option movies? I mean there are seven so they can’t be that bad, right? Right?
Also, behold the Michael Wong action figure, in all its glory:
