Description

I just love the shape of this elegant teapot... so well balanced, it is a dream to pour from. And the bone china is so light and delicate.. the entire piece barely weighs a pound. It features a lovely yellow chintz design perfectly set against the white fine bone china background. The pure white handle and spout provide lovely accent. Nicely sized, she stands 7" tall and measures 10" across inclusive of handle and spout.

Actors: Takeshi Kaneshiro, Andy Lau, Ziyi Zhang Directors: Zhang Yimou Format: AC-3, Color, Dolby, Dubbed, Subtitled, Widescreen Language: Mandarin Chinese, English, French, Spanish Subtitles: English, French, Spanish Region: Region 1 (U.S. and Canada only. Read more about DVD formats.) Aspect Ratio: 2.35:1 Number of discs: 1 Rating: Studio: Sony Pictures DVD Release Date: June 20, 2006 Run Time: 119 minutes

No one uses color like Chinese director Zhang Yimou--movies like Raise the Red Lantern or Hero, though different in tone and subject matter, are drenched in rich, luscious shades of red, blue, yellow, and green. House of Flying Daggers is no exception; if they weren't choreographed with such vigorous imagination, the spectacular action sequences would seem little more than an excuse for vivid hues rippling across the screen. Government officers Leo and Jin (Asian superstars Andy Lau and Takeshi Kaneshiro) set out to destroy an underground rebellion called the House of Flying Daggers (named for their weapon of choice, a curved blade that swoops through the air like a boomerang). Their only chance to find the rebels is a blind women named Mei (Ziyi Zhang, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) who has some lethal kung fu moves of her own. In the guise of an aspiring rebel, Jin escorts Mei through gorgeous forests and fields that become bloody battlegrounds as soldiers try to kill them both. While arrows and spears of bamboo fly through the air, Mei, Jin, and Leo turn against each other in surprising ways, driven by passion and honor. Zhang's previous action/art film, Hero, sometimes sacrificed momentum for sheer visual beauty; House of Flying Daggers finds a more muscular balance of aesthetic splendor and dazzling swordplay. --Bret Fetzer

Description

While on a mission to the Gobi Desert to execute a traitorous soldier (Jiang Wen), a 17th-century Japanese official (Nakai Kichi) encounters a Buddhist monk leading a caravan carrying a collection of priceless artifacts. Agreeing to accompany them to their destination, Kichi has no choice but to turn to Wen for help when the convoy is attacked by a band of thieves. Wang Xueqi, Hasi Bagen co-star. 120 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtracks: Mandarin Dolby Digital 5.1, PCM 5.1, English, French, Portuguese, Spanish; Subtitles: English (SDH), French, Portuguese, Spanish. In Mandarin with English subtitles/Dubbed in English.

Anybody hungering for a good old-fashioned Western needs to check out Warriors of Heaven and Earth, which--although it's set in 7th-century China--has all the valor and spectacle of a John Ford picture. It also has a goofy supernatural streak, for the chopsocky crowd. The opening 10 minutes or so offer an alarmingly convoluted plot, but it swiftly settles down. What's going on is that a long-exiled Japanese hit man (Kiichi Nakai), hired to kill a renegade Chinese warrior (Jiang Wen), temporarily teams up with his quarry in order to escort a camel caravan along the Spice Road. Of course, they are menaced by a brutal warlord, and beautiful Zhao Wei (So Close) is mixed in there too. Director He Ping (Red Firecracker, Green Firecracker) captures some magnificent vistas in the Gobi Desert, but more importantly he sketches the codes or honor and behavior essential to any such tale. --Robert Horton

Description

A pure old-school martial arts movie, beloved by aficionados, that also appeals to nonfans simply as a rousing action film. The often-imitated fact-based plot (see The Karate Kid) centers upon the rigorous training process undergone in the mid-19th century by the anti-Manchu Chinese patriot San Te (Gordon Liu). It's depicted as a grueling voyage into the unknown. Cast out of his home village when he stands up to the cruel warlord (Lo Lieh) who slaughtered his parents, the refugee seeks out the martial monks of the Shaolin Temple, who steer him through a torturous series of "chambers"--horrendous ordeals designed to build strength and agility--before he's even allowed to study boxing or swordfighting. Finally he defeats a rival by inventing a brand-new weapon, the three-section chain-linked staff. But innovation can be carried only so far; when San Te suggests opening a "36th chamber" in the temple that would teach Shaolin techniques to the populace at large (so that they can fight the nasty Manchus) he is drummed out of the corps. Naturally he returns to his home village, slaughters the baddies, and prepares to open China's first public Shaolin-style kung fu school. Many of the pupils San Te recruits in the final reel became legendary martial artists in their own right, the "Fathers of the Church" of the Chinese kung fu tradition. This is strong action entertainment with real historical resonance. --David Chute

A true milestone in martial arts movie history, this action-filled drama from director Lau Kar Leung ("Drunken Master II") stars Gordon Liu as a shallow young man out to avenge his family's murder by Manchu assassins. Entering the Shaolin temple, Liu undergoes a grueling series of training exercises to master the fighting skills he'll need to gain his revenge. Lo Lieh, Wilson Tong also star. AKA: "Master Killer," "Shaolin Master Killer." 119 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtracks: Cantonese Dolby Digital mono, Mandarin Dolby Digital mono, English Dolby Digital mono; Subtitles: English (SDH), Spanish; music video; interviews; audio commentary; theatrical trailers. In Cantonese with English subtitles/Dubbed in English.
