- Have you seen the Tsui Hark produced (directed?) "Monster City" that came out
- last year starring Jacky Cheung the singer? It was based on the Japanese
- cartoon of the same name but without the graphic sex. IMHO it was a fairly
- boring movie. The special effect that worked so nicely in Swordsman and
- Once Upon a Time in China just doesn't work for fantasy non-martial arts
- film like Monster City.
