"The Official Book, Party Animals, Washington, DC, is the full-color pictorial record of the largest public art project in the history of our country's capital. Inspired by the successes of Chicago's Cows on Parade and similar public arts projects in other cities, the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities knew Washington and its artists could only benefit from a chance to display their creativity, generosity, and profound sense of com ..."
"Wider alle Erwartungen führte dieses Oeuvre für den Hongkonger Action-Superstar Chow Yun-Fat nicht ganz zum wohlverdienten Durchbruch auf dem amerikanischen und europäischen Markt. Dennoch handelt es sich bei dieser Geschichte um einen unterhaltsamen Kommerzstreifen. Chow spielt einen Auftragskiller, der es nicht übers Herz bringt, einen Polizisten zu töten (weil er dessen Sohn nicht den Vater wegnehmen will) und schließlich selbst zur ..."

During the spring and summer of 2004, the Commission installed the amazing collection of colorful thought-provoking creatures on sidewalks, in parks, malls and office buildings throughout downtown Washington and District neighborhoods. The unexpecte ..."

Six hundred years ago - long before history's great explorers stole the credit for their feats - mighty Chinese treasure fleets set sail to reach every continent.

"Director John Woo (b. 1946) reinvented the modern action movie and helped open the door for Asian filmmakers to the Western world. His hyper-violent, highly choreographed style made him a box office powerhouse, a respected auteur, and a revered figure among fellow directors. First discovered by Western audiences through his Hong Kong films The Killer and Hard Boiled, Woo introduced the world to a new brand of psychologically frenzied a ..."

As humanity struggles to survive, Ravan and his dark hordes threaten to destroy what's left of man. But hope is alive, and on the run. With brother Lakhsman and Seeta, the daughter of Mother Earth, Rama sets out on a perilous journey in search of haven from Ravan's bloody grip. Prince Rama's journey has jus ..."
"Jean-Claude Van Damme, "the Muscles from Brussels," has sought to revitalize his flagging career by working with the most adrenalized directors from Hong Kong action films. His first such effort was this, the umpteenth remake of The Most Dangerous Game, which teamed him with Hong Kong's most fluid action poet, John Woo. Woo does what he can but, as much magic as he injects into the action, he can't turn Van Damme into an actor. Still, t ..."
"Der Erfolg des unterhaltsamen Comic-Klamauks Bulletproof Monk basiert auf der enormen Ausstrahlung von Chow Yun-Fat. Der Film dreht sich um einen namenlosen Mönch (Chow), der sich zum Beschützer einer heiligen Schriftrolle erkoren hat, die jedem, der sie liest, zu Welt beherrschender Macht verhilft. Ein untergetauchter Nazi jagt der Schriftrolle bereits seit 60 Jahren hinterher und ist im heutigen New York endlich auf den Mönch gestoßen ..."

"A romantic art-heist comedy, far lighter in tone than most of director John Woo's work, and in places much sillier. As kids, Chow Yun-fat, Cherie Chung, and Leslie Cheung (A Chinese Ghost Story) were starving street urchins together. They are rescued from the law and trained by a Fagin-like older crook, who transforms them into glossy international cat burglars. The best sections (especially the opening and closing heists) are as master ..."

"This didn't turn out to be quite the deserving American vehicle for Hong Kong action superstar Chow Yun-fat that it should have been. But it is an entertaining potboiler about a hired gun (Chow) who fails to carry out an assignment to kill a cop (which would leave the fellow's son without a father), and becomes a target himself when the contract is handed over to other assassins. Mira Sorvino plays a document forger who is drawn into th ..."
"Malgré une apparence de prospérité, Hong-Kong est, en cette année 1997, l'empire du crime et de la corruption. La lutte sans merci que se livrent gangs et triades est une menace permanente pour la sécurité des habitants. Quelques rares policiers n'entendent cependant pas baisser les bras ; l'inspecteur Yuen, surnommé "Tequila", est de ceux-là. Dans une vieille maison de thé, Yuen observe une négociation entre trafiquants d'armes ; une f ..."
"John Woo directed this surprisingly lighthearted caper tale for TV as a pilot for a series that never materialized. The forgettable leads--Ivan Sergei, Sandrine Holt, and Michael Wong--play adoptive siblings who have been trained by their father, a Hong Kong crime lord, to be master thieves. Then circumstances pit Holt and Sergei against Wong; the two of them have been co-opted as undercover cops, tracking his big score. The movie doesn ..."
"This 1989 rouser is apocalyptic pulp--the bloodiest, showiest, most shamelessly sentimental specimen of Hong Kong's gangster melodramas. A torch singer named Jennie (Sally Yeh) is accidentally blinded during a slaying in a night club, and Chow Yun-fat's sad-eyed Jeff, a self-lacerating assassin, drags himself out of retirement to take on one last job--rubbing out a major mobster for major bucks--so he can pay for the singer's cornea tra ..."
