阿嬤的夢中情人 - Forever Love - Upcoming

阿嬤的夢中情人 (Forever Love) will be released in Taipei this weekend. The love story set in the past. Can these star crossed lovers ever unite! I say yes!

The film stars Blue Lan and Amber An. Ambers' second leading role in half a year. Pretty good!

飲食男女—好遠又好近 - Joyful Reunion - Upcoming

飲食男女—好遠又好近 (Joyful Reunion) is being released in Taipei this coming weekend. The movie seems to be a mix of old love stories intertwined into present day love stories. From the opening scene, I was reminded of Ang Lee's "Eat Drink Man Woman".

I would watch this if I can find it in Los Angeles someday.

電哪吒 - The Spin Kid - Upcoming

電哪吒 (The Spin Kid) is being release in Taipei on 11-11-11 next week.

The movie stars Blue Lan and Nikki Hsieh. Blue appears to be a spinning DJ who gets in with the wrong crowd. Nikki plays his love interest. Intersting trailer. Vague and surreal at the same time. Looks like a very cerebral watch or its gonna suck. I hope its a good film.

偷心大聖P.S.男 - PS Man - Upcoming

偷心大聖P.S.男 (PS Man) is an upcoming Taiwanese drama starring Bianca Bai, Sonia Sui, Blue Lan, and Wen Sheng Hao (James Wen). The idol drama is set to replace Autumn's Concerto on Sunday, February 28th.



There's been a lot of fanfare or media coverage of this series. Bianca Bia and Sonia Sui have promoted this in the past month and the ads are popping up on SETTV now.

From the looks of it, it'll be a fun and deary story. Fun in the sense of its coverage of showbiz, but deary with the subject of a child born before Bianca's character gets famous.

愛到底 - L-O-V-E (Love)

愛到底 (L-O-V-E / Love) is a 2009 movie out of Taiwan. The movie is split up into 4 story arcs. Each arc has its own directer and stars. But none of the 4 stories are linked together. This film has been on my radar since March.

The first story arc stars Van Fan and Megan Lai. Van and Megan are celebrating their 7th year together. They recall together how they met and fell in love. In a 3 hour elevator ride. Van had a broken foot in that elevator. While at the hospital for an examination, another patient approaches him because they have the same sounding voice. The patient has 3 months to live and ask that Van calls his suicidal mother to wish her well, so that she will continue to live on. Van now has a brain tumor (assuming here) and he's going in for life threatening surgery. Van ask for the same to the ether for someone to call Megan.



The second story arc stars Blue Lan, Annie Liu, Alan Kuo, Tammy Chen, and Chie Tanaka. Annie Liu is a tour guide for the 華山 area. Blue Lan is the director for a MV shot in the area. Alan Kuo, Tammy Chen, and Chie Tanaka are there to make the MV. Annie Liu and Alan strike up a friendly relationship. To Blue's distaste. Blue confronts Annie and ask her why she's ignoring him. Annie doesn't remember him and the love triangle is officially started. We later find out that Annie and Blue were together 3 years ago. But three years ago, they split and Annie gets into an car accident and loses some of her memory. Including all of her memory of Blue.



The third story arc stars Ethan Ruan and Alice Tzeng. This arc is hard to describe as it doesn't have a story. It is about a couple that are at a crossroads in their relationship. One is more mature and one is less. When will the less mature be ready to grow to the same level?

The forth story arc stars mainly Tracy Chou. The rest of the crew is like a who's who of the Taiwan entertainment industry. Many many cameos. The story arc is also hard to describe because it has a storyline, but an exaggerated one. The premise is comedic in nature. This arc doesn't have the feel of the other 3 and is the most light hearted.

Should you watch it? Yes. It was a well made film that presents love in 4 very different view points. Can they stand along on their own? Probably not. But as a premise of the title of the film goes, love to the end (愛到底), with all 4 stacked together, you get the point.

福氣又安康 - Easy Fortune Happy Life - Upcoming

福氣又安康 (Easy Fortune Happy Life) is an upcoming drama out of Taiwan. It stars Lan Cheng Long and Joe Chen. Set to air in Taiwan on June 7th on SETTV.

From the trailer, I am not sure I would want to watch this. I'll have to check out a few more clips.

愛到底 - L-O-V-E (Love) - Upcoming

愛到底 (L-O-V-E / Love) is being released this Friday in Taiwan.

I am looking forward to it. Seems to be a episodic movie about 4 different love stories.

It has a star studded cast from past and present. I wish it the best of luck in Taiwan and aboard in the Asia region. I also hope for a version on the US shores by the end of the month that's in good quality.
