Ang Lee did it again! This time in the Golden Horse awards in Taiwan with his film Caution. This movie is a war drama set in Japanese occupied Shanghai during World War 2 which narrates the fortunes of young woman (played by actress Tang Wei who also won a newcomer award)
embroiled in a plot to seduce an enemy collaborator.

Ang Lee won himself the Best director award and his film Caution won the the Best picture award. The hero of the film Tony Leung Chiu-wai won the Best Actor award too! The golden Horse Awards which is a annual affair here in Taiwan is also dubbed as the Chinese Language equivalent of the Academy Awards. The picture beside from BBC News shows Ang Lee with his two awards and actress Tang Wei with her award.

It is also worthwhile to mention here that Ang Lee is also the famous Taiwanese Oscar winner for the controversial film Brokeback Mountain (one of my favorite too!) which told us about the unorthodox complexity of a romantic and sexual relationship between two men in the American West from 1963 to 1983. Ang’s other films includes Hulk and Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon.

Kudos to you again Ang Lee!!

ciao!

The poster looks like this. Lebih kurang! The movie ‘Muallaf’ from Yasmin the most anticipated Malaysian director of Me is what I’m writing about. Just love everything that she had offered in our silver screen business. One of the finest in the business according to my book.

By the way, she is already working on her new project ‘Talentime’. According to her blog the storyteller, Yasmin is looking for a Indian descent hero for this new venture. Why Indian? Ask Yasmin herself la! You think I direct the movie ah? Visit her blog for more info.

P/S : Talking about Indian descent, hey.. I’m also Indian la. Myself can become the hero ah? Boleh ke Yasmin?

This TV-show name is “Tensai Takeshi no Genki ga deru Terebi” (TV taking heart with Genius Takeshi, known as Genki TV). TV host is Takeshi Kitano.

This clip is called ‘Troop of One Hundred’, where a 100 people chase after random strangers and you see their reactions. Totally harmless but their reactions are priceless.

For a translation of what they’re shouting (thanks Digg):

- For the 1st and 2nd guys, they shout: “Here come the tsunami!!” (tsunami da!)
- For the 3rd guy they shout: “it’s that guy!!” (aitsu da!)
- Nothing for the 4th guy
- Last scene: “Heads up! (danger)” (abunai!)

P/S : Very Funny. I love the aitsu da! part very much. Could really watch this over and over! Really fantastic Japanese people.

Looks alike huh!

Malaysian-Indian Ragamuffin artist Sasi the Don lays it down in this track from this latest album “Asiandancehall Revolution”, which also features Apache Indian.

It’s a unique take on the international direction of next generation Indian Raggamuffin music. The inherantly rhythmic Tamil language, in my opnionion, lend itself far more easily and musicaly to the Raggamuffin sound than Punjabi.
