Fit Lover - 愛情左右 - 愛情呼叫轉移2



Fit Lover (愛情左右/愛情呼叫轉移2) is a 2008 film out of China. The film stars Karena Lam. A host of others make cameos throughout the film. Including Huang Bo, Nie Yuan, Alec Su, Huang Xiaoming, Deng Chao, Tong Dawei, Huang Lei, Fan Wei, Leo Koo, Lu Yi, and Lin Shen. Jessey Meng plays a best friend and sounding board. This film is related to Call For Love.

Karena Lam plays Bing, a talk show that gives really really good love advice. But Bing hasn't been successful in her love life. One foggy afternoon, sorry...one afternoon, Bing receives a car from an angel. This angel tells her that she will meet 12 men via this vehicle and one of them will be her mate. But you must do it within 12 months or you'll never get hitched.

There you go, that is the movie. Bing goes on to meet 12 men. All 12 are very different and have qualities you either love or hate.

I wasn't into this movie as much as I was into Call for Love, its predecessor. But Karena put on a good show and even tried to change up her mando dialect to resemble Beijingers.

Claustrophobia - 親密



Claustrophobia (親密) is a 2009 film out of Hong Kong. The movie stars Karena Lam and Ekin Cheng. Andy Hui plays a supporting role.

The movie is about Karena Lam as Pearl during a 1 year period. It follows Pearl's work life and her relationship with her co-workers. The movie actually starts in the present and goes backward episodically for 1 year from the opening story arc.

The movie is very slow and I was ultimately disappointed because the backward look didn't provide a resolution. Maybe it was on purpose to not provide closure.

I actually enjoyed the "behind the scenes"/"making of" segments better.
