Hong Kong cinema. Fuck yeah! I can't get enough of it. I recently stumbled on a youtube octilogy of GameBoy Kids, starring Andy Lau, Aaron Kwok, Ng Man Tat, and Andy Lau's love interest Rosamund Kwan. The story revolves around Andy Lau, who plays a savant thrown into the midst of a vicious gang war for the head of the organization. It being a movie from Hong Kong made in the 90s, you can be sure there'll be plenty of wacky hijincks. In one scene, Andy Lau and Rosamund Kwan are stuck in their bedroom while a cadre of baddies are shooting at them from outside. To make their escape, they fashion a large slingshot and, while riding an inflatable orca, fly out of the bedroom and sled down a fallen-over tube. What the fuck. I also love the titles. "Lucky Stars Go Places," "The Dead and the Deadly," "The Supreme of the World of," and my favorite, "Vampire Settle on Police Camp." Literally Frightening! Literally!!!

The happening stars beautiful actress Zooey Deschanel with rap star Mark "Marky Mark" Wahlberg as estranged husband and wife who are fleeing from an airborne neurotoxin released by plants that induce suicide among it's victims. Do not be fooled by the title of this movie, not much happens in the movie. Still, I would give The Happening a very happening 5 out of 5, solely based on it's foreign release titles. "..In France and the French-speaking part of Belgium, it was released under the name Phénomènes (Phenomena) on June 11, 2008. In Spain, the film is known as El Incidente (The Incident). In most Latin-American countries, it is known as El Fin de los Tiempos (The End of Times). In Italy, it is known as E venne il giorno (The Day has come), in Hungary the title is Az esemény (The Event). In Bulgaria the title is Явлението (The Event). In Turkey it is Mistik Olay (The Mystic Event). In Russia the film got the title Явление (The Phenomenon). In Germany and Sweden the original title was kept.." Shit! The mystic event? We are fucking fucked.
