Besides, when I first saw the film and Faye Wong in that part. Hearts fluttered...<br /><br />@David-<i>The Grandmasters</i> better come out and... it has to be a hell of a lot better than <i>My Blueberry Nights</i>. That wasn't very good.<br /><br />@SDG-as long as you just watch and enjoy yourself, it's all cool.<br /><br />@Sati-Actually, my review of the film is in the link below.
