"Don’t be fooled, now. This film may look like a beautiful, epic piece of cinema, but that’s likely only because it was shot by Xiaoding Zhao, whose relatively short cinematography resume includes Zhang Yimou’s House of Flying Daggers (for which Xiaoding received an Oscar nomination), Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles and Curse of the Golden Flower (he was also a cameraman for Yimou’s Hero). So yeah, The Children of Huang Shi will certainly be a good looking film, but notice who the director is. That’s right, Roger Spottiswoode, a guy whose worst film is difficult to decide upon. I’d say it’s a toss up between The 6th Day and Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot. I’ve never seen

"CURSE OF THE GOLDEN FLOWER (2006)****R for violence.1 hr. 54 min.written by: Zhang Yimou, Wu Nan & Bian Zhihong (screenplay) and Cao Yu II (from the play "Thunderstorm")produ ced by: Bill Kong & Zhang Weipingdirected by: Zhang Yimou My interest in ancient samurai, ninjas and Eastern folklore came from reading comic books as a kid.

"I completely agree with a reviewer who said "this movie was mistakenly marketed as another flick from that guy who did Hero." It's a great movie on its own -- it doesn't need Hero to advertise for it. Other than that, I knew nothing about Curse of the Golden Flower going in. Man, it's eye candy. And it's definitely Asian cinema! Don't pick this up thinking it's L.A. kung fu with Chinese looking dudes - it's a drama about a Chinese royal family. A family that is dysfunctional to say the least. It earn the R rating for violence in the final 30 minutes. Hoo boy! "

"Every once in a while a movie comes along that not only stimulates the eyes but the mind also. I have to admit that I am kind obiased when it comes to this genre of film, but this is a movie that I would encourage everyone to see. At first I was just impressed(once again) with the cinematography of the film, but once the amazing story began to unwind I was immediately pulled in. Now I'm not one to spoil anything for a movie watcher, so I will try not to give away any of the plot. Chow Yun Fat once again pulls off an amazing preformance as a powerful emporer. Gong Li plays the beautiful empress. Watching these to clash on the screen is just amazing, their preformances made me wish I could speak chinese so i could concetrate more on the actors, in fact some of the more intense scenes I had to watch twice just so I could concentrate on them rather than their words. As far as the action goes, it is without saying. If you liked Hero or House of Flying Dagggers, this movie is right u ... "
