      Zodiac: You have been Amazed by the Play and the Storyline

      I saw this film for some unknown reason. I liked it at the beginning of Jackie Chan's life. To be honest, it's not easy to make martial arts action movies at such an advanced age as Jackie Chan's. I just remember watching his movies every day when I was very young. That baby project is very classic. I also saw a lot of powerful teachers in this film, like Mr. Liao Fan and Zhang Lanxin. This is the first time I have watched Zhang Lanxin's play. What impressed me most about the Zodiac...

      "The Zodiac" is Unique in Chinese Movies

      I was inspired by what other people wrote, and while I was reading it, I also vaguely felt that two or three female characters were very familiar. Nima, I think I know it. In the sequel to Plan A, Maggie Cheung, Carina Lau, and Rosamund Kwan! The former revolutionary party has become a "protest and protection of cultural relics from various countries from being auctioned off".

      Can I say that I grew up watching Jackie Chan grow up? It is only now that I feel that he has...

      Burning the Yuanmingyuan

      In 1860, the Eight-Power Allied Forces sacked the Yuanmingyuan, and all kinds of precious works of art were exiled overseas. The story of the movie starts here.
      Speaking of looting the Yuanmingyuan, I was watching "Autumn in Heaven" recently, and I just borrowed the corner of film reviews to review history.

      Years get old, heroes go away

      Recently, my dear Chaochao has brought a few movie coupons for Jiahe. Thank you Chaochao in advance. In fact, if you had gotten it earlier, I could have watched "1942", but unfortunately it is offline now. Since the discount time of this coupon is rather strange, the movies I have watched in the past few days have been watched in the middle of the night, and it will be the next day after watching it. However, it is worth mentioning that the night view of Dalian is still very...

      There are a lot of easter eggs, and the play is once again at its peak!

      Written on January 14, 2013

      For Jackie Chan, what does the pain feel like? He has been in pain for so many years because of his acting. Does he still know the pain, and how will he react to the pain? If I had a chance to interview him, this would be the first question I would ask him: Jackie Chan, how does it feel to be hurt by you? I think the pain all the year round is different from the occasional pain that we usually have accidentally.

      It's still a martial...

      From thinking about falling in love, I saw you calmly dig out your booger and wipe it on the wall to a pimp who is cruel to yourself and your lover...I know you will have a bright future. It's a shame to be a supermodel! And Quan Sangyu is really good match, is Yao Xingtong's role from ancient times? Too idealistic and not real! One of the hallmarks of Jackie Chan movies is that a babes with big nerves are tired of...

    Dragon Girl Action

    Although Jackie Chan takes the lead in the action scenes in the film, most of the scenes are played by him with the whole class. Although the female doctor played by Anna Yao does not know how to work, she has to travel with her elder brother. What made Anna Yao most afraid of was a "jumping into the sea" scene, because she was afraid of heights and water. Just standing on the top of the boat made her tremble with fright and couldn't...

    Evaluation action

    Since the official launch of "CZ12", Jackie Chan has taken the trouble to emphasize that this is his last "fight to fight" kung fu film. Its effect is nothing more than two points. The sense of urgency is to evoke the nostalgic mentality of movie fans. Jackie Chan Kung Fu has been relegated to the second place in the film, replaced by a variety of high-tech equipment. From the opening scene of the roller jersey racing to the paraglider...
