Happy New Year, readers! The cool change may have arrived across the Eastern states but the temperature at Heroic Cinema remains *sizzling*. Burning up the screens this week in Australia is The Treasure Hunter, starring 'Taiwanese Pop Sensation' Jay Chou. The film proved to be too h-h-h-hhot for poor Eugene, who was left a little burnt and is now recovering with a cold drink.
Like Jay Chou, Aamir Khan may also need a string of superlative tags to precede his name, setting the box office alight at home and overseas with his latest effort, 3 Idiots. James trumps up with a review and it sounds like he enjoyed basking in its warmth.
And finally, our third review for this update, Teddy Chen's Bodyguard and Assassins, a film which by all accounts (starring a whole slew of prominent HK actors) should be raising the martial arts action barometer, somehow managed the opposite for our reviewer Tom.
Meanwhile the rest of us sweltered through the hot-spell by coming up with our Top 5 of 2009 for your reading pleasure. Diverse and entertaining, it's a sure-fire debate starter (how many more heat-related puns can I squeeze in?). Until the next update, have fun and stay chilled!
