The news about the Karate Kid remake being produced by Will Smith just gets better. And by better, I mean absolutely terrible! Will Smith’s son Jaden is now the lead character, with Jackie Chan assuming the Miyagi role. As if all this wasn’t craptacular enough, now Academy Award nominee Taraji P.

"Infernal Affairs" co-director Alan Mak hopes his new thriller will break new ground for Hong Kong filmmakers still learning the tastes of mainland Chinese viewers.

The urban action thrillers that Hong Kong... Read Full Story
There was a stunt man from Hong Kong who was paid W15,000 per movie (US1$=W1,262). He frequently suffered fractures and injuries but never said no, and his three-and-a-half years in Korea were over in a flash. Now he is a global star and earns about W75 billion a year. His name is Jackie Chan. Yet Chan (55) still feels affection for Korea. He often says his favorite food is yukgaejang (spicy beef soup) and kimchi stew and called Korea his second home.
And this month he pays another... Read Full Story
