Whoohoo!) Eastern Standard Time, by Jeff Yang, Dina Gan, Terry Hong, and the staff of A. Magazine (Mariner Books, Houghton Mifflin Company, 1997). EST is a guide to Asian influences on life in the USA -- self-labelled "slick, informative, and entertaining," but relatively accurately so. Its thirteen pages on HK cinema and stars are well animal fat worth reading -- though the half page section on CYF will be familiar ground to most fans. (And thanks to Lisa Stokes for drawing my attention to EST's CYF section!) Hong Kong Action Cinema, by Bey Logan (Overlook Press, 1996). A well-written and beautiful book, with plenty of great colour and black and white pix and reviews; worth buying for both beginners and veterans of HK films. Logan's book begins with the Shaw Brothers in the 1970s, and continues through to the 1990s. |

| In general, though, ACC is well worth reading. A sample of the reviews from ACC are excerpted on my CYF Movie Reviews page. City on Fire: Hong Kong Cinema, by Michael Hoover and Lisa Stokes. This is overweight women my current fave overweight women HK cinema book, for just one reason: unlike most film books, which focus on descriptions of the films and/or film criticism, CoF is all about political overweight women and social analysis. An economic history of the HK film industry; detailed commentary on handover angst in HK film (too detailed, some say!); more quotations from Marx than you can shake a stick at -- this book has all the usual chapters on Woo et al, but instead of writing about the camerawork and the acting, this book is about the politics and the social implications. Very neat reading, if you're at all interested in social analysis; even where I thought their write-up was totally off-base, the book still made me think about the films in a new way. However, like the Teo book, it may not appeal to casual fans. |
