Stephen Chow's follow-up to SHAOLIN SOCCER ups the over-the-top action quotient by about three zillion percent. The story is set in 1930s Hong Kong, with Chow as a shaggy-haired, would-be bad guy named Sing, who gets caught up in the middle of a war between the top-hat-wearing Axe gang and the hard scrabble inhabitants of Pig Sty Alley. Chow who wrote, produced, and directed doesn't step in as the star here for quite a while, letting the comic duties fly in a myriad of directions: a landlady in curlers (Yuen Qiu) has a yell that can flatten buildings; people get kicked across courtyards and through walls; musician assassins whip ghost sabres from lyre strings, and a mental patient in pink flip-flops named 'the Beast' (Leung Siu Lung) catches bullets in his fingers. Buoyed by SOCCER's box office success, HUSTLE uses bigger production values and a dizzying amount of CGI-enhanced martial arts (imagine Bruce Lee vs. Bugs Bunny in THE MATRIX). It's full of references to other films and filmmakers, revering spaghetti westerns and '70s Shaw brothers movies a la Tarantino's KILL BILL (fight choreographer Yuen Wo Ping worked on both films). It also pays sly homage to the works of Wong Kar Wai, D.W. Griffith, Sam Raimi, Jean-Luc Godard, Stanley Kubrick, and Akira Kurosawa. Raymond Wong's inspired score matches each cinematic reference with the appropriate cue as the camera circles and swoops around the sprawling sets. This is a real treat, more than a great action film or comedy, it's a great film period, and one that set box office records in the East.
To Kill with Intrigue' is one of Jackie Chan's darker films as he takes revenge after the slaughter of his family. Here in a more serious role we get to enjoy Jackie's acting skills as well as some wickedly fast set pieces of action. Highly underrated but very much appreciated by today's audience.

Fujishima Kyousuke's Oh My Goddess is--as both animated film and the Manga comic book original--one of the most cutely romantic things in Japanese popular culture. In this first volume, the lonely student Morisato, desperate to get some takeaway food, finds himself connected to the Goddess Hotline and is visited by the angelically beautiful Belldandy, who offers him a wish. Assuming this to be a joke by his fellow students, he wishes that she stay with him forever. In the event, their relationship is tender and most of the comedy derives from brief intermissions when true love fails to run smooth, partly because of visits from her highly sexualised sister Urd and petulant baby sister Skuld. There is an odd picture here of Japanese student life--highly authoritarian dormitories and a playboy culture in which the motorcycle mechanic Morisato is constantly exploited by affluent biker chums--but there is an underlying sweet-naturedness to the three episodes here "Moonlight and Cherry Blossoms", "Midsummer Night's Dream" and "Burning Hearts on the Road" that is remarkably attractive in its sugary way. --Roz Kaveney
