龙之心

　　罗马帝国统治下的埃及，一个家庭为躲避追杀而隐秘生活。家中年轻的儿子（被称为“男孩”）开始对自己的监护人（被称为“木匠”）的身份和教诲产生深深的怀疑。
　　男孩体内沉睡着某种神秘而强大的超自然力量。随着他的成长与反叛，这股力量开始觉醒并失控。每当他动用一次能力，就会打破现实的脆弱平衡，招致更可怕的反噬——他们不仅要面对罗马士兵的世俗威胁，更要遭遇因亵渎神明而引发的、超越自然规律的恐怖现象：尼罗河水逆流、沙暴中浮现古老邪灵、瘟疫以超自然的方式蔓延……
　　这个家庭被迫在双重恐惧的夹缝中求生：一边是外部世界的追捕，另一边是来自男孩自身力量的、逐渐失控的神性（或魔性）灾难。

　　影片讲述知名滑雪选手凌风因一场事故，职业生涯陷入谷底，为了挽救自己热爱的事业，重返家乡回到起点，在一群青年雪友的帮助下，一边寻找恩师，一边找回初心与勇气，最终突破极限，破茧蜕变的故事。

　　这是一部典型的美国英雄主义电影。香港回归前夕，国际恐怖组织和香港的造假巨头准备抢在回归前完成一项走私活动――将一批香港生产的内藏微型炸弹的假冒名牌V6牛仔裤偷运到美国。幸好美国中情局及早察觉了恐怖分子的计划，于是先后派出了特工哈利（保罗•索尔维诺 Paul Sorvino 饰）、汤米（罗伯•施奈德 Rob Schneider 饰）和凯伦（莱拉•罗尚 Lela Rochon 饰）前往香港调查。
　　不料道高一尺魔高一丈，中情局的特工来到香港后先后和局里失去联系身陷囫囵。中情局无奈之下，只好请香港警方出面帮忙调查。香港警方在v6牛仔裤香港供货商马库斯（尚格•云顿 Jean-Claude Van Damme 饰）的帮助下，展开了一场惊心动魄的反恐行动。

　　夫妻的史都耀（李国煌）和钟离春（杨雁雁）在茨厂街经营福建面，时常面对殖民地警察及帮会的勒索和欺压。都耀误打误撞之下结识了一个神秘的美女高手小菊（童冰玉），更被指为明朝建文帝的子孙。而深藏不露的离春和陈坤（黄明志）也在这时显露了高强的武功。伴随而来的是各门各派的虎视眈眈，誓夺连他自己都不知道存在的藏宝图。顿时茨厂街风起云涌，高手云集。到底都耀能不能解开自己的身世之谜，并搭救一直默默保护他的老婆呢？

　　Fraught with over obvious symbolism, Hartley's early feature is nonetheless a joy to watch. Hal here shows us his uncanny ability to cast his characters perfectly came early in his career.
　　Adrienne Shelley is a near perfect foil to herself, equal parts annoying teen burgeoning in her sexuality (though using sex for several years); obsessed with doom and inspired by idealism gone wrong she is deceptively – and simultaneously – complex and simple. Her Audrey inspires so many levels of symbolism it is almost embarrassingly rich (e.g., her modeling career beginning with photos of her foot – culminating her doing nude (but unseen) work; Manhattan move; Europe trip; her stealing, then sleeping with the mechanics wrench, etc.)
　　As Josh, Robert Burke gives an absolutely masterful performance. A reformed prisoner/penitent he returns to his home town to face down past demons, accept his lot and begin a new life. Dressed in black, and repeatedly mistaken for a priest, he corrects everyone ("I'm a mechanic"), yet the symbolism is rich: he abstains from alcohol, he practices celibacy (is, in fact a virgin), and seemingly has taken on vows of poverty, and humility as well. The humility seems hardest to swallow seeming, at times, almost false, a pretense. Yet, as we learn more of Josh we see genuineness in his modesty, that his humility is indeed earnest and believable. What seems ironic is the character is fairly forthright in his simplicity, yet so richly drawn it becomes the viewer who wants to make him out as more than what he actually is. A fascinatingly written character, perfectly played.
　　The scene between Josh and Jane (a wonderful, young Edie Falco . . . "You need a woman not a girl") is hilarious . . . real. But Hartley can't leave it as such and his trick, having the actors repeat the dialogue over-and-over becomes frustratingly "arty" and annoying . . . until again it becomes hilarious. What a terrific sense of bizarre reality this lends the film (like kids in a perpetual "am not"/"are too" argument).
　　Hartley's weaves all of a small neighborhood's idiosyncrasies into a tapestry of seeming stereotypes but which delves far beneath the surface, the catalyst being that everyone believes they know what the "unbelievable truth" of the title is, yet no two people can agree (including our hero) on what exactly that truth is. A wonderful little movie with some big ideas.

　　神魔之争绵延千年，地狱圣女阿修罗（叶蕴仪 饰）被卷入两界相争，但是她爱上了明媚快乐的人界，恳请慈空大师（胜新太郎 饰）给予她滞留人间的机会，慈空慈悲为怀，遂派出徒弟吉祥果（阿部宽 饰）和孔雀（元彪 饰）在一周时间内护卫阿修罗，直到他重返魔界。阿修罗与两名“保镖”找到了自己在魔界的爱宠兼伙伴戏鬼，但此时，魔界中的鬼妃为了吸取阿修罗的真气取而代之其在魔界的位置，令座下鬼众袭击阿修罗，戏鬼惨遭石化，而孔雀为了搭救戏鬼亦被冰冻。阿修罗与吉祥果结识了发明家和他的妹妹（李丽珍 饰），在戏鬼回复期间，他们暂住发明家家中，此时距离阿修罗返回魔界的日期临近，而鬼妃仍不放弃取代阿修罗的计划……
