Evolusi KL Drift (2008)
Directed by: Syamsul Yusof
Starring: Fasha Sandha, Farid Kamil, Syamsul Yusof, Aaron Aziz
Distributed by: Skop Productions Sdn Bhd, Grand Brilliance Sdn Bhd
Language: Malay
Movie review (jdmasia):
To start, the movie is unashamedly a tribute of sorts to FATF: Tokyo Drift, and it’s not just my opinion, even the director of the movie has been quoted as saying that himself. It was a wholly-locally produced event with a budget of RM2,000,000 (about $630,000 USD), which is quite high-end for a local production.
I’ve got to say, as far as a lot of the driving scenes are concerned, I do respect them for what they did in this movie simply because there was not one bit of CG trickery like a lot of the scenes in Tokyo Drift. Although I doubt they’ll win any stunt-driving awards, they definitely deserve credit for that. Two scenes in the movie were a blatant ripoff of the scene in Tokyo Drift where Han circles the R33 with the two females inside, so it was a bit disappointing when it comes to originality. <jdmasia>
Synopsis:
The movie tells the story of Zack and Sham, close friends who share a passion for drift racing. Though the sport is popular with men, Zack’s girlfriend (played by Fasha Sandha) took up the sport and became competitive in it. Zack is an elite racer who runs a workshop while Sham is more down to earth and always has problems with his racing car. Zack is unhappy with drug pushers selling on his racing patch, but Fasha (who is a former user) is friendly with some of them which leads to a confrontation between her and Zack. The pushers are sent to their boss Joe (played by Aaron Aziz) ,also a drift racer who uses race meets to sell his product.
A rift continues to grow between Zack and Fasha. Sham (played by Farid Kamil) becomes a middleman between the two but ends up also having feelings for her. Zack wins a challenge against Joe but falls out with Sham despite the latter’s numerous apologies and attempts to distance himself from Fasha. Zack and Fasha also confront each other but solve nothing, with Fasha conflicted over her dwindling feelings for Zack and her growing attraction to Sham. <Wiki>

Dog Bite Dog (2006)
Punishing and insanely intense, Dog Bite Dog is the perfect antidote for those who think Hong Kong Cinema is all dopey comedies starring Alex Fong Lik-Sun. It’s also a bit over the top, and so nihilistic that it repels instead of involves. But if this is your type of movie, then Dog Bite Dog won’t disappoint. <LoveHKFilm>

Meanwhile, an evil Water Demon (Alex Fong Lik-Sun) arrives to make things difficult, taking over Fung’s body, forcing Chiu to kill both of them. And there’s romantic entanglements, too.

Silly Korean comedy fluff which will probably entertain the socks off of pre-teen boys and girls. The fresh-scrubbed appeal of star Kim Jung-Hwa makes Spy Girl a palatable time waster, but classifying this as an actual quality film would be a total mistake.<lovehkfilm>

An Empress and the Warriors (2008)
An Empress and the Warriors is dumb fun – with an emphasis on dumb. Directed by Ching Siu-Tung, Empress is an epic costume action-drama featuring an ill-supported storyline and a cast that requires a double take. Casting Donnie Yen as a badass warrior/officer is a no-brainer, and Leon Lai is at least imaginable as a tree-hugging doctor/lover. But Kelly Chen as a warrior princess? Imagining the ethereal Chen as a princess is easy – but when I say that, I’m thinking of one of those Disney heroines that talks to animals and acts sassy and spunky before getting swept off her feet by her knight in shining armor. Musical numbers would be a must. <lovehkfilm>
