Hei ma lai ah sing (2005)
Fantastic
This movie is a gem. I caught this film and loved it. It had the right balance of humour, storyline and action - yoga action nonetheless.
Correct me if I am wrong as IMDb does not have much of a description of the movie, nor about the story line but I found that the layers of stories, interacting with each other while it takes you to the finale Yoga Championships. The 2 headed snake, the magical memory potion, the bus, the photo, the search for family, the romance, the suspense, the laughter, the moments that this film had.
It had it all.
This movie was the highlight of flying for 20 odd hours from Australia to UK, via Singapore.
Cant wait to see more.
Radiance (1998)
**Fantastic Movie**
Tells the story of three estranged Indigenous sisters who reunite to grieve at their mother's funeral in Northern Australia.
Bringing different backgrounds together, the sisters experience trying to understand their differences, tears for each other, celebrating their lives, prejudices faced in the world, adventure and unveiling family secrets.
Eldest sister Cressy, an opera singer, doesn't particularly want to be there for certain reasons; middle sister, Mae, feels she has done enough and is bitter about life; and the youngest sister, Nona, is the free spirit who wants to have fun.
Fine story and Nona is a delight to watch on screen. Actor Deborah Mailman won the 1998 Australian Film Industry (AFI) Award for Best Actress for Radiance, with the film also being nominated for Best Film, Best Achievement in Direction, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Editing, Best Original Music Score and Best Production Design.
Good movie to watch with your sisters.
