"How Am I Going To Explain That?"

This was the first things that came out of my mouth when I left the cinema. The film in question was 'From Vegas To Macau' (also apparently knoqn as 'The Man From Macau')

I still, several months later, don't really know how to explain this film! It was the most bizarre, hilarious and at times completely confusing but all in the most fabulous of ways. The plot line was deeply, deeply questionable. It started as one thing, then ended as another, no reasoning in between. At times it was gritty and dramatic and at others it was a slapstick comedy. To be honest, I still don't know how to explain what I saw... but I liked it. 

I am having a huge love affair with Asian cinema at the moment, and it's very very different to much of the Cinema in the the West. It's sometimes darker and gritter and often far more "over-acted" than I'm used to, but just go with it! It's fun! Vegas To Macau had to be seen, I live here after all and it's always fun seeing places you've been on the big screen, and I was interested to see Chow Yun Fat in something that wasn't Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. (I'm still in denial that Pirates Of The Caribbean 3 happened - my friend swears I've seen it but I don't remember a thing. If I did see it, I appear to have erased it from my memory!!) He is an excellent actor for sure.

If you're in the mood for some crazy, off the wall Chinese cinema, then do watch this. It's just SO. MUCH. FUN. Though I can't guarantee that you'll be able to explain it afterwards...
