Description

Perhaps the Ming Dynasty's most enduring contribution to world culture is Blue & White porcelain. First introduced in the 14th century cobalt blue glazed porcelain has become the most ubiquitous form of earthenware in the world. While production of Blue & White is rather routine, variations in quality are still commonplace. Some factories use inferior clays, unskilled painters, or kilns with deficient heat controls. Producing a smooth porcelain surface, crisp detail, and deep rich color requires skill and quality control. All of REORIENT's Blue & White items are carefully collected from select workshops that maintain quality by keeping their production small. Every one of our items will have the vibrant color that is the true characteristic of this centuries old art form. Please search through all of our offerings on Amazon to see a superior selection of fine Chinese porcelains and cultural gifts and décor.

Description

Sweeping martial arts epic from Tsui Hark set in 17th-century Japan finds the practice of martial arts outlawed, a decree enforced by an elite squad of bounty hunters, including the brutal warrior known as Fire-Wind (Honglei Sun). Soon, however, the law is challenged and all-out warfare engulfs the region. Donnie Yen, Leon Lai also star. 153 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtracks: Cantonese and Mandarin DTS 5.1, Dolby Digital 5.1, English Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles: English; audio commentary; deleted scenes; featurettes; interview; theatrical trailers; TV spots. In Cantonese and Mandarin with English subtitles/Dubbed in English. Two-disc set.

As the title indicates, Seven Swords is in the epic spirit of The Seven Samurai and its American cousin, The Magnificent Seven. A grittier enterprise, it may not surpass Tsui Hark's 1990s classics like Once Upon a Time in China, but offers its own unique pleasures--like non-stop action (for which it received a coveted Golden Horse Award). Based on the book Seven Swordsmen from Mountain Tian, the action begins in rural China in the 1600s. The Ching Dynasty has just banned martial arts, and in response seven dissidents band together to fight against Fire-Wind (Honglei Sun) and his minions. The septet includes Hong Kong superstars Charlie Young (Wu Yuan Yin), Leon Lai (Yang Yun Chong), and Hero's Donnie Yen (Chu Zhao Nan). One of the mountain villagers they save is pretty Korean refugee Green Pearl (So-yeon Kim), who falls for the moody Chu. Filmed on location in scenic Xinjiang, Seven Swords is a feast for the eyes. Though some critics have taken Hark to task for the army's anachronistic goth-punk garb, it sure looks menacing. Originally four and a half hours long, this version clocks in at 153 minutes. Hark's soft-spoken commentary, along with Hong Kong cinema expert Bey Logan, is on the first disc. Deleted scenes and other extras are on the second. Because of the cuts, the complex narrative isn't always easy to follow--and the film still feels long--but the gold-tinged visuals and fight choreography by Kar-Leung Lau (The Legend of Drunken Master) helps to compensate. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Description

Lavish historical actioner is set in war-torn 14th-century China, where a Korean diplomatic party is caught in the middle of the rivalry between Yuan and Ming forces and, accompanied by a fiery Ming princess, must fight its way back to its home country. Jung Woo-sung, Ahn Sung-Gi, Ziyi Zhang star. AKA: "Musa the Warrior." 133 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtracks: Korean Dolby Digital stereo, English Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles: English; TV spots; theatrical trailers. In Korean with English subtitles/Dubbed in English.

The Warrior combines gorgeous cinematography, complex historical politics, and joltingly bloody action sequences to create a sweeping historical spectacular. A squadron of Korean soldiers, sent to protect a diplomatic envoy to China, find themselves unmoored when the envoys are killed in clashes with Chinese and Mongol soldiers. Struggling to return home, they rescue a high-handed Chinese princess (Ziyi Zhang, House of Flying Daggers, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) and decide that protecting her is their best chance to survive, and possibly improve Korean-Chinese relations as well. Unfortunately, the Mongols want her back, and the squadron find their numbers slowly diminishing as they fight their way to an isolated military outpost. Though there's a more realistic context for the action--The Warrior is based on a historical event and the characters are well-developed--the battle scenes deliver some visceral thrills; the violence is graphic (beheadings, arrows plunging into necks, limbs sliced off) but grippingly choreographed. An above-average action movie; however, it is highly recommended that viewers watch it with subtitles, as the dubbing is typically wretched. --Bret Fetzer
