-Shanghai Kiss –
Besides the fact that the film stars Hayden Panettiere (from Heroes and the upcoming “I Love You, Beth Cooper”), the film features one of the better Asian-American actors out there Ken Leung. Leung is seemingly touched by the spirit of Woody Allen as he lives an existence that is at best monotonous and unfulfilled. It isn’t until his character, Liam, a struggling actor, meets a 16-year old girl who is a little mature for her age (still very awkward) that he realizes that he has to do something with his life.
He then finds out that his grandmother dies and leaves him a house in Shanghai, a place he has never visited nor connected to. He ends up meeting a beautiful and mysterious woman there named Micki (Kelly Hu) who inspires questions about what he will do with the rest of his life.
This film is light and maybe a little awkward at times, but it delivers on many levels and it shows how Asian-Americans are capable of leading a quality film.

With the release of "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen," some fans tune in for the likes of the former Even Stevens and the vixen Megan Fox. All well and dandy, but take a stroll down memory lane and let us remember the good ol' days of the good ol' originals.What became a giant phenomenon in America actually began in Japan in 1970's due to the Microman and Diaclone toylines. These were the original Transformers and caught the eye of Hasbro. Of that partnership, the Transformers comic and a TV show were born, including the popular Optimus Prime and Megatron, but also a slew of other characters that were unnamed within the original toy line-up.
After a cascade of spin-offs, the popularity has been renewed with the most recent Blockbuster hits.
With the bombardment of comic-turned-movie productions, it seems Hollywood likes to take advantage of our childhood and bring us back to the old school days and tug at our heartstrings. In my opinion, whether it's good or bad, it's working. *fist shaking ensues*
