3. Crossing Hennessy
love lost and love found across the Hennessey road in Hong Kong’s bustling Wanchai
district. Crossing Hennessy is famed writer Ivy Ho's latest romantic comedy outing, with a
sugar-coated script and music that underline the fine performances from the prominent cast
and cameos that include singer Jacky Cheung, Rebecca Tang Wei (of Lust, Caution fame),
Paw Hee Ching(time to polish up another acting award speech), Danny Lee (back from a
long absent), Andy On, Maggie Cheung Ho-Vee. The film is destined to be some film
festivals' favorite here and abroad and may pick up a few awards (deservedly) along the way.

《不赦島》
風寒不及心寒,讓人看得心寒的電影不少,但不用血腥
驚嚇,只求氣氛迫人,《不赦島》 是近年少有的劇力之作。
赦,《說文解字》作,置也,《易經》 「君子以赦過宥罪」
也有
之言。不赦,對生命加上最沉重的枷鎖,是誰有無上權威
讓人無可赦恕,與其是「等天收」,還不如是人心最根本
的善意,讓犯惡者萬刼不服。
沒有依靠過多特技,以言語神情佈下懸念,里安納度狄
卡比奧無疑點亮全齣好戲,週遭疑幻疑真的配置讓觀眾
跌入五里霧中,馬田史高西斯有希治閣式講故事能耐。
